A 1000-ft vertical curve connects a -1% grade to a -3.5% grade. If the vertical tangents intersect at sta. 38+60.24 and elevation 1,400.13 ft, develop an Excel spreadsheet to calculate the elevations of the grade line at each station from sta. 31+00 to 45+00. Include the elevations of the PVC and PVT.

4.2 A 200 m long sag curve is used under a grade separation structure. The curve joins an entry grade of - 3% and exit grade of + 5%. If the required vertical clearance is 5.5 m, determine the available sight distance over the curve. Assume driver eye height and dangerous object height of 1.8 m and 0.15, respectively. If the information available is not complete, please assume and specify a reasonable value and continue with the assignments.

A vertical curve has an incoming grade of +4.4% and an exit grade of -2.2%. The length of the curve is 450.00 ft. The intersection of the grades is at 10+00 and the elevation at that point is 440.00. Compute the elevation of the +00 points on the curve. Then determine the location and elevation of the highest point on the curve. If there is an existing bridge at this location over the proposed road, and the elevation of its...

A vertical curve has an incoming grade of -3.2% and the exit grade is +2.2%. The length of the curve is 800 ft. The stationing and elevation at the point of intersection of the grades are 73+22 and 1842.35 ft. Compute the curve and determine elevations on the curve at the +00 points. Then determine the elevation of the curve at the low point. If a sewer pipe is to pass underneath at the lowest point, what elevation should the...

A vertical sag curve connects two tangents with grades -3% and +2% with the design speed of 100 km/h. (a) Calculate the available sight distance and the length of the vertical curve using the minimum flatness of curve that will satisfy the headlight criterion during dark conditions. Assume the height of the headlight above the pavement is 0.6 m and the angle of the light beam upward from the axis of beam is 1. (a) Assuming that the length of...
