Width of Road given Height for Straight Line Camber Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Pavement Width = Height of Camber*(Elevation Difference*2)
B = H_c*(h_Elevation*2)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Pavement Width - (Measured in Meter) - Pavement width is the breadth of the highway pavement.
Height of Camber - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Camber is the distance between the lowest and highest points of a person/ shape/ object standing upright.
Elevation Difference - (Measured in Meter) - The elevation difference at ends of measured length.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Height of Camber: 1.5 Meter --> 1.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Elevation Difference: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

B = H_c*(h_Elevation*2) --> 1.5*(3*2)

Evaluating ... ...

B = 9

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

9 Meter <-- Pavement Width

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%.
