  2. Clearance (civil engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearance_(civil_engineering)

    In South Africa and the southern region of Africa, the minimum vertical clearance of modern bridges is 5 metres (16 ft 5 in), although the legal height limit of road vehicles is still at 4.3 metres (14 ft 1 in). [7] United Kingdoms has a standard on minimum clearance of a public highway at 16 feet 6 inches (5.03 m).

  3. Interstate Highway standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_Highway_standards

    Vertical clearance: The minimum vertical clearance under overhead structures, such as bridges, is 16 feet (4.9 m), including both paved shoulders and an allowance for extra layers of pavement. Through urban areas, at least one routing is to have 16-foot (4.9 m) clearances, but others may have a lesser clearance of 14 feet (4.3 m).

  4. Structure gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_gauge

    The code also defines the clearance that is shorter than the physical clearance to account for sag curves, bridge deflection and expected settlements with a recommendation of minimum clearance of 5 metres (16 ft 5 in). [2] In UK, the "standard minimum clearance" for structures over public highways is 16 feet 6 inches (5.03 m). [3]

  5. Loading gauge - Wikipedia

    The body frame may have a maximum height of 4,500 mm (14 ft 9 in) and a maximum width of 3,400 mm (11 ft 2 in) with additional installations allowed up to 3,600 mm (11 ft 10 in). That width of 3,400 mm is only allowed above 1,250 mm (4 ft 1 in) as the common passenger platforms are built to former standard trains of 3,200 mm (10 ft 6 in) in width.

  6. Engineering tolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_tolerance

    Summary of basic size, fundamental deviation and IT grades compared to minimum and maximum sizes of the shaft and hole. Dimensional tolerance is related to, but different from fit in mechanical engineering, which is a designed-in clearance or interference between two parts. Tolerances are assigned to parts for manufacturing purposes, as ...

  7. Fit (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fit_(manufacturing)

    The maximum clearance of a fit is the difference between the upper bound of the orifice diameter and the lower bound of the shaft diameter. maximum clearance = maximum orifice diameter – minimum shaft diameter. The minimum clearance meanwhile is the difference between the lower bound of the orifice diameter and the upper bound of the shaft ...

  8. Engineering fit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_fit

    Engineering fits are generally used as part of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing when a part or assembly is designed. In engineering terms, the "fit" is the clearance between two mating parts, and the size of this clearance determines whether the parts can, at one end of the spectrum, move or rotate independently from each other or, at the other end, are temporarily or permanently joined.

  9. Minimum railway curve radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_railway_curve_radius

    The minimum railway curve radius is the shortest allowable design radius for the centerline of railway tracks under a particular set of conditions. It has an important bearing on construction costs and operating costs and, in combination with superelevation (difference in elevation of the two rails) in the case of train tracks , determines the ...
