Highway Engineering Route Design Project

The document provides instructions for a mini project to design a road connecting two towns by determining the location and alignment, and performing detailed design calculations including a plan and profile, cross sections, earthwork computations, and mass-haul diagram using provided traffic data and coefficients. Students are to submit the report and drawings before the class ends.

Mini Project: Route Location and Detail Geometric Design

A map showing the topographic and physical features of the region in the localities of towns is
attached to prepare the preliminary design of a road connecting two towns. The estimated
AADT from traffic study for the design year, which will be using the proposed road, is shown
in the table below for the respective towns in terms of passenger car units (pcu).
Determine the location and alignment of the proposed road. Make detailed design calculations
of road. Prepare a set of working drawings including:

1. A detailed plan and profile (with super-elevation and widening details) for the road,
2. Cross-sections typical for cut section fill section and cut to fill section of construction
3. Earth work computations of the new road,
4. Mass-haul diagram showing the movements of the earthwork.

Use the following table for reaction time and coefficients of lateral friction & for SSD in your
design

• You can take any measurement from the given contour map using the given scale and if
it is necessary use any assumptions with reasonable justification.
• Use ERA manual for your design.
• Use A3 millimetre paper for your drawings.

Submit your mini-project report with the drawings before or on the last day of class end.
