Steps for Superelevation design
Design Step-1: The superelevation for 75 percent of design speed is calculated neglecting the friction.
ecal = V^2/225R
Step-2: If ea<emax(7%) eca is provided If ec> ene(7%) then provide the maximum superelevation equal to 0.07 & proceed with step (3) & step (4).
Step-3: Check the coefficient of friction developed for the maximum value of 'e' =0.07 at the full value of design speed.

f = {(V2 / 127 R) - 0.07)
If the value of f thus calculated is less than 0.15, t superelevation of 0.07 is safe for the design speed If not, calculate the restricted speed as given in step (4)
Step 4: Allowable speed (V, km/h) at the curve is calculated by considering the design coefficient of lateral friction and the maximum superelevation
e + f = 0.07+ 0.16 = 0:22 = V 2/127 R
ecal = V^2/225R
Step-2: If ea<emax(7%) eca is provided If ec> ene(7%) then provide the maximum superelevation equal to 0.07 & proceed with step (3) & step (4).
Step-3: Check the coefficient of friction developed for the maximum value of 'e' =0.07 at the full value of design speed.
