Topic 7: Vertical Alignment and Sight Distance
A vertical curve on a highway joins a +4.0 percent grade with a -6.0% percent grade at STA10+120 and elevation at 130 m . If the length of the curve is 300 m , determine elevations at every 50-m station and locate the station and elevation of the high point of the curve.
A minus 4.8 percent grade intersects a plus 3.2 percent grade at station 9+050 and at an elevation of 150 m . Given that a 600-m curve length is utilized, determine the station and elevation of the PVC and PVT. Calculate elevations at every 50-m station and locate the station and elevation of the high point of the curve.
A minus 2% intersects with a minus 6% at station of 10+000 and elevation of 100 m . If the design speed is 100kmhr, determine elevations at every 100-m station and locate the station and elevation of the highest and lowest point of the curve. (Given that f=0.11 and PIEV time =2.0sec)
