NOTE: Shoulder Berm Calculation Example

For shoulder berm gutter, the shoulder (berm) and paved shoulder widths are derived from taking the normal usable width minus (-) the 2'-4" distance from the origin of the gutter to the gutter flow point. For the above example, 10' normal usable shoulder width minus 2.33' is 7.67' of shoulder berm width. Resulting in plan view, shoulder is paved from the proposed EOT to shoulder berm gutter (7.67') and 2.33' to the flow point. Finally directly above the gutter flow point is the faced on the guardrail (10' from the proposed EOT).
