Question: 1 . A sag curve needs to be designed under a railway bridge with the following conditions: Centreline station of bridge: 1 2 + 4

1. A sag curve needs to be designed under a railway bridge with the following conditions:
Centreline station of bridge: 12+452
Elevation of underside of bridge: 890.22
PVI @ 12+380.37
Bridge width: 15.24
Minimum clearance under bridge: Per BC Supplement to CHBDC (
G1: -3.96%
G2: 4.17%
Design the curve so the length of curve provides the minimum vertical clearance under the bridge. Determine stations and elevations for all critical curve locations.
