The camber in a road - is designed to allow most of the rainwater to run off the surface to the edges of the carriageway, allowing vehicle tyres to grip the surface better. If the surface was completely flat, standing water would make traction more difficuult.

What is the purpose of camber in steel beam?

Camber is the amount of deflection provided in the opposite direction of loadings. That is when the beam is subjected to Vertical downward loadings, the beam has a tendency of deflecting downwards. In this case, camber value is to be given in the upward direction so that when it is fully loaded condition, the beam would have almost zero deflection. Similarly, when the beam is subjected to vertical upward loadings, the camber value is to be given in downward direction. The purpose of camber in steel beam is to have almost zero deflection w.r.t.o beam axis after loading of beam as highlighted earlier. by R.Ravichandran, Chennai-49

When highway engineers build road in a mountainous area they inserted drainage pipes into the slopes alongside the road-why?

The drainage pipes are to prevent the road surface cracking by keeping the ground near the road dry. When the ground underneath the road gets wet, the road could sink, kind of like when you walk in a swamp. If only part of the road sinks and the rest stays in the same place, the road could crack where the sunken portion of the road meets the part that hasn't sunk.

It is the pull to the left or right from the camber of the road that you have to adjust for hence the wheel will be either slightly left or slightly right. On a flat tarmac it will be in the centre provided your steering wheel has been correctly fitted.
