Question 1 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} \text { Length of curve }&=\text { Radius } \times \text { Degree of curve }\\ \frac{30.5 \times 180}{2^{\circ} \times \pi}&=R\\ R &=873.76 \mathrm{~m} \\ C_{d} &=C_{t h}-C_{a c t} \\ C_{\mathrm{act}} &=\frac{G V^{2}}{127 R}=\frac{1750 \times 100^{2}}{127 \times 873.76}=157.70 \mathrm{~mm} \\ C_{\mathrm{ev}} &=\frac{G V^{2}}{127 R}=\frac{1750 \times 80^{2}}{127 \times 873.76}=100.930 \mathrm{~mm} \\ C_{\mathrm{def}} &=C_{\mathrm{act}}-C_{t h}=157.70-100.930=56.77 \mathrm{~mm} \\ &=57 \mathrm{~mm} \end{aligned}

For the hottest month of the year at the proposed airport site, the monthly mean of the
average daily temperature is 39^{\circ}C. The monthly mean of the maximum daily temperature
is 48^{\circ}C for the same month of the year. From the given information, the calculated Airport

39 | |
42 | |
48 |
Question 3 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} T_a&=39^{\circ}C\\ T_m&=48^{\circ}C\\ ATR&=T_a+\left ( \frac{T_m-T_a}{3} \right )\\ &=39+\left ( \frac{48-39}{3}\right )\\&=42^{\circ}C \end{aligned}
Question 4 |
The appropriate design length of a clearway is calculated on the basis of 'Normal Takeoff' condition. Which one of the following options correctly depicts the length of the
clearway?
A | |
B | |
C | |
D |
Question 4 Explanation:
For normal take off condition:
\begin{aligned} \text{Clearway} &\ngtr \frac{1}{2}(1.5 \; \text{of take off distance}\\ &-1.15 \text{of lift off diatance}) \\ &\ngtr \frac{1}{2}(1.15 \times 1625 -1.15 \times 875) \\ &\ngtr 431.25m \end{aligned}
So clearway is less then for 432 m.
\begin{aligned} \text{Clearway} &\ngtr \frac{1}{2}(1.5 \; \text{of take off distance}\\ &-1.15 \text{of lift off diatance}) \\ &\ngtr \frac{1}{2}(1.15 \times 1625 -1.15 \times 875) \\ &\ngtr 431.25m \end{aligned}
So clearway is less then for 432 m.

A broad gauge railway line passes through a horizontal curved section (radius = 875 m) of length 200 m. The allowable speed on this portion is 100 km/h. For calculating the cant, consider the gauge as centre-to-centre distance between the rail heads, equal to 1750 mm. The maximum permissible cant (in mm, round off to 1 decimal place) with respect to the centre-to-centre distance between the rail heads is_____
157.5 | |
182.6 | |
