Problem 1: Sag Vertical Curve (Transportation Engineering, junior course)
An equal tangent sag vertical curve has the following properties:
The length of the vertical curve is 900 ft
PVI: Station is 475+00 and elevation is 1235.62 ft
Initial grade is -5.5%(before PVI)
Final grade is +2.0%(after PVI)
Determine the following:
a) Station and elevation of the PVC (point of vertical curvature)
b) Station and elevation of the PVT (point of vertical tangency)
c) Station and elevation at the low point on the vertical curve
