Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven data:
Total width of the road (W) = 10 m
Camber or cross slope = 2% or 1 in 50
Height of the crown of the road =?
Concept:
Camber
Camber or cross slope is the slope provided to the road surface in the transverse direction to drain off the rainwater from the road surface.
\(H={W\over 2n}\)
where H = Height of crown of the road.
W = Width of the road.
\(\frac {1} {n}\) = Camber or Cross slope
Calculation:
Height of crown of the road (H)
H = \(\frac {10} {2\times 50}\)
H = 0.1 m
Height of the crown of the road is 0.1 m.
