SUPERELEVATION DIAGRAM: SIMPLE CURVE

I. OBJECTIVES
 To Illustrate the Superelevation Diagram based from the previous exercise

(Horizontal Alignment of Simple Curve).
 To determine setting-out details of the LHS and RHS of road surface starting
the earliest of stationing up to the latest end of station @ every full station.

V. COMPUTATION:
A. LENGTH OF TRANSITION RUN OFF
NOTE: From Plate 1 (HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT FOR SIMPLE CURVE)

COMPUTED VALUE FOR RADIUS = 394 m
THUS, Length of Spiral Curve ar based from the following:

1. Criterion of rate of increase of lateral acceleration
Ls = 0.0214v³ /RC
Ls = 0.0214(100³)/394(0.675) = 80.466 m say 80m
2. Criterion of minimum Ls
Ls min = 24PminR
Ls min = 24(0.2)(394) = 43.488 m
3. Criterion of maximum Ls
Ls max = 24PmaxR
Ls max = 24(1)(394) = 97.241 m
Therefore, use Ls = 80m
TO COMPUTE FOR THE TRANSITION RUNOFF (TR)
TR/2.5% = Ls/e max; where e max= 8%
TR/2.5%=80/8%
TR = 25 m
B. LENGTH OF a
a = D1-T-Ls
NOTE: FROM PLATE 1 (HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT FOR SIMPLE CURVE)
D1=1593m AND T=286.0403m
THEREFORE;
a = 1593-286.0403-80
a = 1226.9597m
C. LENGTH OF b
b = D2-T-Ls
NOTE: FROM PLATE 1 (HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT FOR SIMPLE CURVE)
D2=1386m AND T=286.0403m
THEREFORE;
b = 1386-286.0403-80
b = 1019.9597m

VI. DISCUSSION
Superelevation is the rotation of the pavement on the approach to and through a horizontal
curve. Superelevation is intended to assist the driver by counteracting the lateral acceleration
produced by tracking the curve. Superelevation is expressed as a decimal, representing the
ratio of the pavement slope to width, ranging from 0 to 0.12 foot/feet. The adopted criteria
allow for the use of maximum superelevation rates from 0.04 to 0.12. Maximum
superelevation rates for design are established by policy by each State. Selection of a maximum
superelevation rate is based on several variables, such as climate, terrain, highway location
(urban vs. rural), and frequency of very slowmoving vehicles. For example, northern States that
experience ice and snow conditions may establish lower maximums for superelevation than
States that do not experience these conditions. Use of lower maximum superelevation rates by
policy is intended to address the perceived problem created by vehicles sliding transversely
when traveling at very low speeds when weather conditions are poor.
The adopted criteria provide complete tables expressing the appropriate superelevation rate
consistent with the established policy for all curves and all design speeds.
