Correct Answer: 200 sq. km of area
Correct Answer: enlarging or reducing plans
Correct Answer: both (a) and (b)
Correct Answer: clothoid spiral
Explanation:
IRC recommends Spiral or clothoid as the ideal transition curve due to following reasons:
1. It satisfies that rate of change of centrifugal acceleration is constant i.e., Ls.R = constant. Where Ls = length of transition curve R = radius of curve.
2. The calculation and field implementation of spiral curve is simple and easy.
3. It enhances aesthetics also.
Correct Answer: dip
Correct Answer:
Correct Answer: line of sight is horizontal
Correct Answer: 45°
Correct Answer: all the above.
Correct Answer: balancing the traverse.
