Hello there,How have you been? Here is another round of one liners for your preparation for the GATE and PSUs examinations. The diagram which shows the approximate path of vehicles and pedestrian involved in accidents is known as collision diagram. With increase in the speed of the traffic stream, the minimum spacing of vehicles increases. Traffic volume […]

Hello There,I am here to give you another round of one liners from Surveying, for your preparation for GATE and PSUs. For a constant value of co-efficient of lateral friction, the value of required super-elevation increases with, increase in speed and with decrease in radius of curve. To calculate minimum value of ruling radius of

Hello, Here are few MCQs which might help you with Transportation Engineering.For more you can write below in the comment box or join my Facebook Page. 1. The camber preferred in concrete roads is (a) Parabolic Camber (b) Straight Camber (c) Combination of parabolic and straight camber (d) Cubic Ans: (b) Straight 2. The shoulders

Softening point of Bitumen: It is the minimum temperature at which bitumen get soft.It is important to find the softening point of Bitumen because bitumen can be easily applied on the road surface when it is soft and we have to use the fuel and fire to soften the available bitumen. Softening point tells us

5. What is the value of intermediate sight distance for a highway with a design speed of 65 kmph? Assuming the data for co-efficient of friction f = 0.36 and for reaction time t = 2.5 sec.Ans: 182.8 m 6. The speed of overtaking and overtaken vehicles are 70 and 40 kmph respectively on a

1. The safe stopping sight distance for design speed of 50 kmph two way traffic on a two lane road assuming co-efficient of friction as 0.37 and reaction time as 2.5 seconds is 61.4 m.2. The stopping sight distance for design speed of 80 kmph for two way traffic on a single lane road. Assume

Hi, CBR loading frame Aim: To find out the CBR(California bearing ratio) value of the given soil sub-grade. Apparatus:  CBR Apparatus soil sample with known OMC and MDD. CBR apparatus – accessories Theory: California Bearing Ratio test was invented by California State Highway Department. This test is used to design the thickness of the flexible pavement.
