Length of Transition Curve as per Railway Code Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Curve based on Railway Code = 4.4*Radius of Curve^0.5
L_RC = 4.4*R^0.5
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Length of Curve based on Railway Code - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Curve based on Railway Code is the total length of transition curve for turning which is calculated using Code of Railways.
Radius of Curve - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Curve is the radius of a circle whose part, say, arc is taken for consideration.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Radius of Curve: 344 Meter --> 344 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_RC = 4.4*R^0.5 --> 4.4*344^0.5

Evaluating ... ...

L_RC = 81.6078427603622

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

81.6078427603622 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

81.6078427603622 ≈ 81.60784 Meter <-- Length of Curve based on Railway Code

Speeds from Length of Transition Curves for Normal Speeds

Go Speeds from Length of Curve for Normal Speeds = 134*Length of Transition Curve in meters/(Super Elevation for Transition Curve*1000)

Speeds from Length of Transition Curves for High Speeds

Go Speeds from Length of Curve for High Speeds = 198*Length of Transition Curve in meters/(Super Elevation for Transition Curve*1000)

Length of Transition Curve based on Rate of change of Super Elevation

Go Length of Curve based on Change of superelevation = 0.073*Equilibrium Cant for Max Speed*Maximum Speed of Train on Curve*100

Length of Transition Curve based on rate of change of Cant Deficiency

Go Length of Curve based on Cant Deficiency Rate = 0.073*Cant Deficiency*Maximum Speed of Train on Curve*100

Safe Speed on Transitioned Curves for BG or MG

Go Safe Speed on Transitioned Curves for B.G/M.G = 4.4*0.278*(Radius of Transition Curve-70)^0.5

Safe Speed on Transitioned Curves for NG

Go Safe Speed on Transitioned Curves for N.G = 3.65*0.278*(Radius of Transition Curve-6)^0.5

Length of Transition Curve based on Arbitrary Gradient

Go Length of Curve based on Arbitrary Gradient = 7.20*Equilibrium Cant for Max Speed*100

Radius of Transition Curve for BG or MG

Go Radius of Transition Curve = (Safe Speed on Transitioned Curves for B.G/M.G/4.4)^2+70

Radius of Transition Curve for NG

Go Radius of Transition Curve = (Safe Speed on Transitioned Curves for N.G/3.65)^2+6

Length of Transition Curve as per Railway Code

Go Length of Curve based on Railway Code = 4.4*Radius of Curve^0.5

Length of Transition Curve as per Railway Code Formula

Length of Curve based on Railway Code = 4.4*Radius of Curve^0.5
