1 Calculate the actual length of the runway from the following data:
Airport elevation: R.L.105
Airport reference temperature: 280C
Basic length of runway: 800m
Highest point along the length: R.L 98.2 Lowest point along the length: R.L 95.2. Check
the total correction for elevation plus temperature as per ICAO
3 What are the imaginary surfaces? What is their significance and list the types of imaginary
surfaces?
5 At an airport site at sea level with standard atmospheric conditions, the runway lengths
required for take-off and landing are 2000 m and 2400m respectively. The proposed airport
is situated at an altitude of 150m. If the airport reference temperature is 250C and the
effective runway gradient is 0.35 percent, calculate the length of runway to be provided.
06 Design an exit taxiway joining a runway and a parallel main taxiway. The total angle of
turn is 350 and the maximum turn-off speed is 80 kmph. Assume radius of entrance curve
=731m, runway width=45m, taxiway width=22.5m. Draw a neat sketch showing all the
design elements. Assume the separation clearance as 217.75m
07 Draw a neat cross-section of runway showing all component parts. Explain the ICAO
recommendations with respect to runway transverse and longitudinal gradients for A, B, C,
D and E types of airports.
09 The monthly mean temperature of the atmosphere at a particular site where an airport is to
be developed, are given below. Determine the airport reference temperature. If the site is at
mean sea level determine the actual runway length. The runway is assumed to be level.
10 Design an exit taxiway joining a runway and a parallel main taxiway. The total angle of
turn is 30 degrees and the maximum turn-off speed is 80 kmph. Assume runway
width=45m, taxiway width=22.5m and separation clearance as 198.70m. Use Table-1 for
obtaining the radius of entrance curve. Draw a neat sketch showing all the design elements.
