Total Extra Widening required on Horizontal Curves wrt Wm and Wps Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Extra Widening Required on Horizontal Curves = (Psychological Widening on Horizontal Curves+Mechanical Widening on Horizontal Curves)
W_e = (W_ps+W_m)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Total Extra Widening Required on Horizontal Curves - (Measured in Meter) - Total Extra Widening Required on Horizontal Curves is defined as the sum of mechanical widening and psychological widening of roads on horizontal curves.
Psychological Widening on Horizontal Curves - (Measured in Meter) - Psychological Widening on Horizontal Curves is the extra width of pavement provided for psychological reasons such as overhangs of vehicles, greater clearance for crossing.
Mechanical Widening on Horizontal Curves - (Measured in Meter) - Mechanical Widening on Horizontal Curves is the widening required to account for the off-tracking due to the rigidity of wheel based.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Psychological Widening on Horizontal Curves: 0.52 Meter --> 0.52 Meter No Conversion Required
Mechanical Widening on Horizontal Curves: 0.37 Meter --> 0.37 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_e = (W_ps+W_m) --> (0.52+0.37)

Evaluating ... ...

W_e = 0.89

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.89 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.89 Meter <-- Total Extra Widening Required on Horizontal Curves

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
