Question: ( 3 0 pts ) Given a vertical curve with the following parameters: g 1 = - 1 . 5 % g 2 = 4

(30 pts) Given a vertical curve with the following parameters:
g1=-1.5%
g2=4.5%
L=700ft
PVI Station =39+00
PVI Elevation =201ft
a) What kind of curve is it? Sag or crest?
b) Calculate the stations and elevations of the PVC and PVT.
c) Find the high point (if crest) or low point (if sag).
d) Create a table of stations and elevations to stake out the curve at full stations (100ft).
e) Find the station and elevation of the high point (if crest) or low point (if sag).
f) At station 40+41, overhead electrical wires cross the road in a perpendicular direction. The elevation of the bottom of the wires is 234.89'. The NYS DOT design specifications require at least 25 feet of clearance between the road surface and the bottom of the wires. Does this curve satisfy that requirement? What is the elevation of the curve at station 40+41?
