Crossfall ,height of embankment,what type of stability

Question

Accepted Answer

Crossfall, height of embankment, and type of stability are important factors in highway engineering.

Crossfall refers to the slope of the road surface from the centerline to the edge of the road.
The height of the embankment is the vertical distance between the road surface and the natural ground level.
Stability can refer to the stability of the embankment itself, as well as the stability of the road surface on top of the embankment.
Factors that affect stability include soil type, drainage, and the angle of the slope.
For example, a steeper slope may require additional stabilization measures such as retaining walls or geogrids.
