Write short notes on the factors governing the geometric design of highways (15 marks)
An embankment of width 11 m and side slopes of 33.69 ◦ is required to be made on a ground which is level in the direction transverse to the centre line. The central heights (in metres) at 20 m intervals are as follows: 0.90, 1.50, 2.25, 2.60, 1.65, 1.45 and 1.20. Calculate the volume of earth work using: a) The trapezoidal formula (12.5 marks) b) The prismoidal formula (12.5 marks)
