Q1) How many classes of highways that may be identified in the Figure, and then write about every

type

1. Freeway: is a road for public use and connecting

1
two major cities or important destinations with full
control of access. 2
4
2. Arterial: a major or minor road.
3
3. Collector Road: is a low-to-moderate- capacity
road which serves to move traffic from local streets to arterial roads.
4. Local Roads: are used by vehicles, connects two different places or towns.

or/ Streets: are more used by people, a small public road that is within a city or town.

Q2) The following table shows the stations and ordinates for a mass diagram. The free haul distance is 600 ft.
Overhaul cost is $15 per station yard. Compute the additional cost that must be paid to the contractor.
Station 0+00 1+00 2+00 2+20 4+00 6+00 7+00 8+20 9+00 10+00 10+30
Ordinate
0 45 60 90 120 140 110 90 82 60 0
(yd3):
OH1=(0.5*100*45+45*120+0.5*100*15+20*15+0.5*20*30)/90 = 9000/90 = 100 ft
OH2=( 0.5*30*60+180*60+0.5*100*22+80*22+0.5*80*8)/90 = 14880/90 = 165.33 ft
Total OHD= 100 + 165.33 = 265.33 ft
Overhoul cost = 15*90* 2.6533 = 3581.96 =3582 $

Q3) Calculate the elements and the main stations for a simple circular curve according to the
following information: ∆ = 42o17' , R = 325m, and Sta. PI = 10+08.

T = Tangent length = R * tan( ∆/2) = 325 * tan (42˚ 17ʹ/2) = 125.68 m

C = Chord length = 2*R* sin( ∆/2)= 2*325* sin (42˚ 17ʹ/2)= 234.44 m
L = curve length = R * ∆/57.3 = 325 * (42.28333˚)/57.3 = 239.83 m
E = External distance = R * ( sec( ∆/2) -1) = 325 * (( 1/ cos ( 24˚ 17ʹ) ) -1) = 23.45 m
M = Middle ordinate = R * (1- cos(∆/2) = 325 * (1- cos(42 17/2) = 21.88 m
Sta. PC = Sta. PI - T = (10+08) - (1+25.68) = St. ( 8+82.32)
Sta. PT = Sta. PC+ L = ( 8+82.32)+ (2+39.83)) = St. (11+22.15)
