Question: A 4 0 0 ft long equal tangent vertical sag curve connects two tangents: a - 2 . 5 % downward tangent and a +

A 400 ft long equal tangent vertical sag curve connects two tangents: a -2.5%
downward tangent and a +2% upward tangent. The tangent intersect (PVI) at
station 426+25 at an elevation of 945.31 ft. The width of the paved surface is 48
ft. The pavement has an average sideward slope of 1.6% from the centerline
(crown) of pavement to the gutter inlet. Find the following:
a) Station and elevation of BVC and EVC
b) The station and elevation of the lowest point of the vertical curve.
c) What is the elevation of the gutter drain inlet located at the side of the road at
the lowest point on the road?
