Which are the best method for traffic survey according to verious location?
What is the ruling radius of a horizontal curve?
The minimum radius of a horizontal curve by considering maximum superelevation and coefficient of friction is called ruling minimum radius. For Ruling design speed, Ruling minimum radius is given by R(ruling)=v²/g(e+f) where, R=Ruling minimum radius in m v = ruling design speed in m/s e = superelevaRead more
What is the difference between Highway and Airfield pavement?
Comparison of both is Highway pavement Cost is low. Less toughness compare to airfield. Design load is less. Less hardness compare to airfield. Compare to airfield, less construction cost and design cost. Length of Highway payment is very high. Airfield pavement Cost is high. High toughness need. DeRead more
When is scarification needed for road work?
I assume you are talking about flexible (asphalt) pavements. Sacrification is needed when the cuts, potholes and all deformations are such that : The optimum moisture content required for proper binding can no longer be met. The filler material won't bend properly if just put judging by the conditioRead more
What is difference between GIS and GPS?
GIS is the software used to find capture, store, manipulate, analyze, and present all types of geographical data. The main purpose is to share the geographic location and other details of a specific point on the earth. It has multiple application in our daily lives especially in construction sectorsRead more
What is difference between Asphalt and Bitumen?
In simple words, bitumen is a liquid that binds together asphalt. Asphalt-It is a mixture prepared by adding aggregates(sand, gravel, slag, crushed rocks) with appropriate binders like bitumen. Then it is laid down on-site to a decided level or thickness by a paving machine. Bitumen- This is the heaRead more
Which is the widely used industry-standard software for Pavement design in India?
What is the difference between Tar and Bitumen?
Bitumen: 1. Bitumen is naturally occurring substances, it is dark in color & it occurs in both solid and liquid form. 2. Bitumen is a viscous organic substance, which occurs naturally. 3. Bitumen is strongly adhesive and water-resistant. & it is always a viscous liquid. 4. Bitumen is createdRead more
