The formula to calculate the cross slope is:
\[ \text{CS} = \frac{\text{E}}{\text{W}} \times 100 \]
Where:
Cross slope refers to the slope of the road surface perpendicular to the direction of travel. It is typically used to facilitate drainage and improve road safety by preventing water accumulation on the road surface.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{CS} = \frac{0.5}{12} \times 100 \approx 4.17\% \]
The cross slope is approximately 4.17%.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{CS} = \frac{1}{10} \times 100 = 10\% \]
The cross slope is 10%.
