A vertical curve is designed for 90 km/h and has an initial grade of + 2.5% and a final grade of -1.0%. The PVT is at station 3 + 480. It is known that a point on the curve at station 3 + 440 is at elevation 75 m. What is the stationing and elevation of the PVC? What is the stationing and elevation of the high point on the curve?

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 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.
