What is camber?

Camber is the slope provided to the road surface at the transverse direction to drain off the rainwater out of the road surface. It is also known as the cross slope of the road. On straight sections of roads, they're shoulders with higher cross fall relating to that of the carriageway by 0.5%.

How to Calculate Camber given Gradient?

Camber given Gradient calculator uses Height of Camber = Elevation Difference/2 to calculate the Height of Camber, Camber given Gradient formula is defined as maximum depth of height of road at centre point of road. Height of Camber is denoted by H_c symbol.

How to calculate Camber given Gradient using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Camber given Gradient, enter Elevation Difference (h_Elevation) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Camber given Gradient calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.5 = 3/2.

FAQ

What is Camber given Gradient?
