Question: A vertical curve will be designed. The road is divided state road and has two lanes in each direction. The design speed is 1 2

A vertical curve will be designed. The road is divided state road and has two lanes in each direction. The design speed is 120kmh, the driver perception and reaction time is 2sec, the grades are 3% and -5,5%, the friction coefficient is 0,40, elevation of point of intersecting is 100m. If necessary, the safety distance: d=8+0,2V.
e) Decide the the vertical curve type and draw the skecth of the vertical cuve (5p)
f) Calculate the vertical curve length considering the stopping sight distance (12.5p)
g) Write the elevation formula of the parabolic vertical curve (7.5p)
h) Calculate the elevations of end point (T2) of the vertical elevation and the point which is 50m away from the initial point (T1) of the vertical curve (25 p)
A vertical curve will be designed. The road is
