What is the ruling radius of a horizontal curve?
Dhanya
The maximum comfortable speed on a horizontal curve depends on the radius of the curve. It is possible to design with maximum superelevation and coefficient of friction. If the design speed is increased in the future. So the radius of the curve is not desirable. Therefore a ruling minimum radius canRead more
The maximum comfortable speed on a horizontal curve depends on the radius of the curve. It is possible to design with maximum superelevation and coefficient of friction. If the design speed is increased in the future. So the radius of the curve is not desirable. Therefore a ruling minimum radius can be derived by assuming maximum superelevation and coefficient of friction.
Ruling Radius = v^2/g(e+f)
Generally, the radius of the curve is higher than the ruling radius

Explain the Seasoning of Stone?
Dhanya
The freshly quarried stones contain some amount of moisture. This is called quarry sap. The process of removing quarry sap is known as seasoning of stones. Generally 6 to 8 months required for proper seasoning.

What is the Average Density of Soil?
Dhanya
Soil density is expressed in two ways. Particle density and bulk density. Particle density is around 2.65 g/cc Bulk density is approximately 1.5 to 1.65 g/cc
