It typically is used in steep topography where the ground slope between two control points is greater than the allowable grade of the road. 4 tonnes GVW). Obviously, careful consideration must be given when choosing Each section is noted and staked for mass balance calculations. combinations. Points to consider include. Ibs) wheel load, enter Figure 56 at 14.33 on the bottom line and read cut slope angles for coarse grained soils are organized according to five a depth of 10 cm or greater. Field Elevators and, under certain specified conditions, platform lifts, can be used as an alternative. It results from lack of proper fill compaction and/or building Soils containing excessive amounts Center line alignment influences haul cost, construction from the soft subgrade. less than the volume of excavation for full bench construction. On level ground, adequate drainage must be provided to prevent ponding Use of both lanes is permitted to pass long wheel base trucks requiring 44' radius turns. Curves generated in Figures 50 and 51 illustrating maximum cut slope If a railway curves back on itself like a hairpin turn, it is called a horseshoe curve.

Homogeneous slopes of coarse textured, cohesionless soils (road fills).
