In CBR test the value of CBR is calculated at
A. 2.5 mm penetration only
B. 5.0 mm penetration only
C. 7.5 mm penetration only
D. both 2.5 mm and 5.0 mm penetrations
If aggregate impact value is 20 to 30 percent, then it is classified as
A. exceptionally strong
B. strong
C. satisfactory for road surfacing
D. unsuitable for road surfacing
18+6/10 =2.4
3600/2.4 = 1500
C=1000v/s
V=10*60*60/1000=36kmph
S=18+6=24
C=1000*36/24=1500vehicle per lane...
Thank u Kunal
Well describe y kunal
Thanks Kunal bhau 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻
Theoretical capacity (C)
C=1000V/S
Where,
S= SSD+L or Clear spacing
.... maximum from both taken
V= speed in KMPh
In this case, V= (10/1000)/(1/60*60) kmph which is 36 kmph
Hence, C= 1000*36/24. Which is 1500 vehicle per hour
Pls send me the solution
Please Tell me the formula.
