Question: Problem 1 ) Vertical Curves a . Compute the minimum length of sag vertical curve that will provide 1 3 0 m stopping sight distance

Problem 1) Vertical Curves
a. Compute the minimum length of sag vertical curve that will provide 130 m stopping sight distance for a design speed of \(80\mathrm{~km}/\mathrm{h}\) at the intersection of a \(-2.30\%\) grade and \( a+4.80\%\) grade.
b. A crest vertical curve is being designed for a stopping sight distance of 240 m . The curve is to join a \(5\%\) upgrade with a \(4\%\) downgrade. Calculate the minimum length of the vertical curve assuming a driver's eye height of 1.05 m and an object height of 0.38 m .
c. Compute the minimum length of vertical curve to provide passing sight distance of 680 m for a design speed of \(100\mathrm{~km}/\mathrm{h}\) at the intersection of a \(+2.30\%\) grade with a \(-0.70\%\) grade.
