Chapter 8 Highway Design Preparatory Survey for National Road No.5 Improvement Project (Middle Section: Thlea Ma’am – Battambang, and Sri Sophorn – Poipet) CHAPTER 8 HIGHWAY DESIGN 8.1 Sections for Highway Design Many locations between Thlea M’am and Battambang as well as between Sri Sophorn and Poitet were inundated during the flood which occurred in 2013 and the pavements of these sections were severely damaged. To prevent inundation due to flood and subsequent failure of pavement, height of road surface needs to be set sufficiently higher than the flood water level (see Subsection 8.2.5 for explanation on height of road surface and flood water level). Thus, Thlea Ma’am – Battambang Section and Sri Sophorn – Poipet Section are divided into following 6 sections for the purpose of highway design with regard to flood: Thlea Ma’am – Battambang Section Design Section 1 (KP 171 – KP 138): Flood water level is lower than the existing road surface by 50 cm or more. Thus, the new pavement is constructed on top of the existing pavement. Design Section 2 (KP 183 – KP 190: Pursat Bypass): The bypass is newly constructed traversing mainly agricultural land. The level of flood water is not high. Design Section 3 (KP 190 – KP 255): Flood water level is low and basic concept of design is same to that of Design Section 1 Design Section 4 (KP 255 – KP 283): Flood water level exceeded road surface during the flood in 2013. Height of the new road surface is planned so that the bottom of the pavement structure becomes 50 cm above the recorded flood water level. Sri Sophorn – Poipet Section Design Section 5 (KP 366 – KP 371): Flood water level exceeded road surface during the flood in 2013. The design policy same as that of Design Section 4 is adopted. Design Section 6 (KP 371 – KP 402): Flood water level is low. The new pavement is constructed on top of the existing pavement utilizing the existing pavement as the subgrade.

Such design includes the preliminary design for the improvement of NR 5 and construction of four bypasses (Odongk, Kampong Chhnang, Battambang, and Sri Sophorn). Since the Middle Section and Sri Sophorn - Poipet Section are the remaining parts of NR 5, the design policy for the these sections should be consistent with those of other sections. NR 5 is designated as a Class I Road in the hierarchy of the Asian Highway Network. Thus, it is desirable to satisfy the design criteria of Asian Highway Class I Road. At the same time, NR 5 is an arterial national road of Cambodia and it needs to satisfy the Road Design Standard of Cambodia. Table 8.2-1 compares the design criteria of Asian Highway Class I and Road Design Standard of Cambodia. The table also shows the criteria recommended for the Project. These recommended criteria have been discussed and agreed between MPWT and the JICA Team during the Survey of North section.

Nevertheless, the design speed of 50 km/h is proposed for the urban section, considering the fact that many vehicles travel at 50 km/h or higher. Table 8.2-2 lists the urban sections where the speed is currently regulated at 40 km/h. Design speed of 50 km/h is applied to these sections.

From viewpoint of consistency of design standard, it is recommended that the cross section adopted in the North and South Sections be adopted also in the Middle Section. In the North and South Sections, two types of cross section were adopted depending on the roadside land use; rural area Final Report 8-4 Preparatory Survey for National Road No.5 Improvement Project (Middle Section: Thlea Ma’am – Battambang, and Sri Sophorn – Poipet) and urbanized area. With regard to the structure of median strip, raised type median is recommended from the view point of traffic safety. Considerations as mentioned below shall be given for convenience of road user in the detail design stage: Opening of median division for left-turn and u-turn should be provided at regular interval and at necessary place. U-turn lane shall be provided at a regular interval and at necessary locations. Figure 8.2-1 shows the proposed typical cross sections for rural area and urbanized area. For the sections passing through urbanized areas where many vehicles are anticipated to park on the street, a 2.5 m-wide parking spaces is proposed on both sides.

These curves sections need to be improved if the existing configurations do not satisfy the requirements of design criteria. (1) Existing Horizontal Alignment There are 41 curve sections and 125 bending points with small intersecting angles without curve between the straight lines along the Middle Section. The radii of many curves are generally small and some of them do not satisfy the requirement of design criteria. In addition, there are some curve sections where the lengths of curve are too short to meet the design criteria. In such short curves, the drivers are confused and, are forced quick steering operation. These short curve sections and many bending points need to be improved by introducing proper lengths of curves. Final Report 8-5 Preparatory Survey for National Road No.5 Improvement Project (Middle Section: Thlea Ma’am – Battambang, and Sri Sophorn – Poipet) (2) Improvement of Horizontal Alignment (a) Small radius of curve There are 6 curve sections where the existing curve radii are smaller than the minimum value defined in the design criteria. Table 8.2-4 shows the curve sections with substandard curve radii and proposed curve radii after improvement. The table also shows the distances of centerline shift due to the improvement. Examples of the improvements of curve sections are shown in Figures 8.2-2 and 8.2-3. (b) Section with short curve length There are 25 curve sections where the existing curve length is insufficient. The lengths of these curve sections are planned to be extended by introducing road sections with larger curve radii. Minimum curve lengths of 170 m and 80 m are achieved for design speed of 100 km/h (general section) and 50 km/h (urban section), respectively.

The data received from some licensees may not up to the required level of accuracy and hence the information provided in this report may be taken as indicative. This report is for dissemination to the Royal Government, institutions, investors and public desirous to know about the situation of the power sector of the Kingdom of Cambodia during the year 2012. With addition of more HV transmission system and MV sub-transmission system, more and more licensees are getting connected to the grid supply. This has resulted in improvement in the quality of supply to more consumers. By end of 2012, more than 91% of the consumers are connected to the grid system. More licensees are now supplying electricity for 24 hours a day. The grid supply has reduced the cost of supply and consequently the tariff for supply to consumers. Due to lower cost and other measures taken by Royal Government of Cambodia, in 2012 there has been a substantial increase in the number of consumers availing electricity supply.
