Length of throw:
p=14Xc=Ls224Rp=14Xc=Ls224R
Spiral angle from tangent to any point on the spiral (in radian):
θ=L22RLsθ=L22RLs
Tangent distance:
Ts=Ls2+(R+P)tanI2Ts=Ls2+(R+P)tanI2
External distance:
Es=R+PcosI2−REs=R+PcosI2−R
At this point, it is necessary to have ascertained the vehicle loading on the road surface.
This is not an indication of the total traffic flow nor is it intended to design the road layout. It is
solely relevant to the engineer and used to design the pavement thickness. This is covered in
more detail and hopefully somewhat better explained on the traffic loading page. Thus you
should now have two pieces of information, the CBR value and a vehicle loading in the left hand
lane (right hand lane outside the UK) in millions of standard axles (msa).
Flexible
Flexible Pavements are constructed of the following materials, details of which can be found
in British Standards2,3.
Rigid
All rigid and rigid composite should be constructed using Pavement Quality Concrete,
manufactured, cured and laid in accordance with the Specification for Highway Works
(MCHW1)4 series 1000. The use of joints is discussed in the pavement design section
