Question No.

1
A 8° curve track diverges from a main curve of 5° in the opposite direction. In
the layout of a BG yard, calculate the superelevation and the speed on the branch line
when the maximum speed permitted on the main line is 45 km/h.
Question No.2
Calculate the maximum permissible speed on a curve on a Rajdhani route with a
maximum sanctioned speed of 130 km/h. The superelevation provided is 50 mm and the
transition length is 60 m. Also, the transition length of the curve cannot be increased
due to proximity of the yard.
Question No.3
Calculate the superelevation to be provided for a 1.5 in. transitioned curve on a
high-speed route. The maximum sanctioned speed in the section is 120 km/h. The speed
for calculating the superelevation is set at 88 km/h. What is the length of the transition
to be provided?
Question No.4
What would be the equilibrium can’t on a curved MG track with a 7° curve for
an average speed of 50 km/h? Also calculate the maximum permissible speed after
allowing a maximum cant deficiency of 5 cm. The formula given by the Railway Board
is V = 4.35√ R – 67.
Question No.5
Calculate the length of vertical curve between two gradients, one rising at a rate
of 1 in 200 and the other falling at a rate of 1 in 400.
