A horizontal curve on a two-lane road is designed with a 2,300-ft radius, 12-ft lanes, and a 65-mph design speed. Determine the

distance that must be cleared from the inside edge of the inside lane to provide sufficient sight distance. Also determine the superelevation rate for the curve.

Answer:

distance = 22.57 ft

superelevation rate = 2%

Explanation:

given data

radius = 2,300-ft

lanes width = 12-ft

no of lane = 2

design speed = 65-mph

solution

we get here sufficient sight distance SSD that is express as

SSD = 1.47 ut + \frac{u^2}{30(\frac{a}{g}\pm G)}     ..............1

here u is speed and t is reaction time i.e 2.5 second and a is here deceleration rate i.e 11.2 ft/s² and g is gravitational force i.e 32.2 ft/s² and G is gradient i.e 0 here

so put here value and we get

SSD = 1.47 × 65 ×2.5  + \frac{65^2}{30(\frac{11.2}{32.2}\pm 0)}

solve it we get

SSD = 644 ft  

so here minimum distance clear from the inside edge of the inside lane is

Ms = Rv ( 1  - cos (\frac{28.65 SSD}{Rv}) )        .....................2

here Rv is = R - one lane width

Rv = 2300 - 6 = 2294 ft

put value in equation 2 we get

Ms = 2294 ( 1  - cos (\frac{28.65 \times 664}{2294})  )  

solve it we get

Ms = 22.57 ft

and

superelevation rate for the curve will be here as

R  = \frac{u^2}{15(e+f)}  ..................3

here f is coefficient of friction that is 0.10

put here value and we get e

2300 = \frac{65^2}{15(e+0.10)}

solve it we get

e = 2%

X cotx expansion using maclaurins theorem.
Lemur [1.5K]

It is to be noted that it is impossible to find the Maclaurin Expansion for F(x) = cotx.

<h3>What is Maclaurin Expansion?</h3>

The Maclaurin Expansion is a Taylor series that has been expanded around the reference point zero and has the formula f(x)=f(0)+f′. (0) 1! x+f″ (0) 2! x2+⋯+f[n](0)n!

<h3>What is the explanation for the above?</h3>

as indicated above, the Maclaurin infinite series expansion is given as:

F(x)=f(0)+f′. (0) 1! x+f″ (0) 2! x2+⋯+f[n](0)n!

If F(0) = Cot 0

F(0) = ∝ = 1/0

This is not definitive,

Hence, it is impossible to find the Maclaurin infinite series expansion for F(x) = cotx.

An L2 steel strap having a thickness of 0.125 in. and a width of 2 in. is bent into a circular arc of radius 600 in. Determine t
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

the maximum bending stress in the strap is 3.02 ksi

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

steel strap thickness = 0.125 in

width = 2 in

circular arc radius = 600 in

we know that, standard value of modulus of elasticity of L2 steel is; E = 29 × 10³ ksi;

Now, using simple theory of bending

1/p = M/EI

solve for M

Mp = EI

M = EI / p ----- let this be equation 1

The maximum bending stress in the strap is;

σ = Mc / I -------let this be equation 2

substitute equation 1 into 2

σ = ( EI / p)c / I

σ = ( c/p )E

so we substitute in our values

σ = ( (0.125/2) / 600 )29 × 10³

σ = 0.00010416666 × 29 × 10³

σ = 3.02 ksi

Therefore, the maximum bending stress in the strap is 3.02 ksi
