An equal-tangent vertical curve is to be constructed between grades of -2% (initial) and 1% (final). The PVI is at station 110 00 and at elevation 420 ft. Due to a street crossing the roadway, the elevation of the roadway at station 112 00 must be at 424.5 ft. Design the curve, and determine the elevations and stations for PVC and PVI.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The curve length (L) will be = 1218 ft

The elevations and stations for PVC and PVI

a. station of PVC = 103 + 91.00

b. station of PVI = 116 + 09.00

c. elevation of PVC = 432.18ft

d. elevation of PVI = 426.09ft

Explanation:

First calculate for the length (L)

To calculate the length, use the formula of "elevation at any point".

where, elevation at any point = 424.5.

and ∴ PVC Elevation = (420 + 0.01L)

Then, calculate for Station of PVC and PVI and elevation of PVC and PVI
