The right-hand curve was 209 feet long with no superelevation. |
A track geometry car had last inspected the track on 14 April 2003 and one urgent defect was noted at Mile 52.41 for a minor excess superelevation condition that was subsequently corrected. |
Tip: the relative altimeter can be used for example for measuring the superelevation above landing site. |
This tendency is counteracted by designing the cross section with superelevation. |
The channel aggrades in place until a superelevation threshold for avulsion is met. |
The field geometric data did not present significant variations in lane width, shoulder width and superelevation. |
