About this document
Super Elevation in Highway Design by Krisleen Gullas is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Super-elevation, also known as cant or banking, is the transverse slope provided on highways and railways to counteract the effect of centrifugal force when vehicles travel around a curve. It is the difference in elevation between the inner and outer edges of the road or track. Providing an adequate rate of super-elevation helps reduce the chances of vehicles skidding or overturning on curves by balancing the lateral forces experienced. Formulas are used to calculate the required super-elevation based on fa
