Using the contour maps provided, to lay out the

vertical alignment. Determine existing ground

vertical alignment elevations and minimum length

of the vertical curve. The length of any vertical

curve is governed by sight distance requirements.

Consistent with design standards and objectives,

minimize cuts and fills. Insofar as is possible, adhere

to the general controls for vertical alignment. Tie

to the given elevation and grade at Point A and $B.$

Your profile drawing should show the percent grade

for all tangents. For each vertical curve, show the

station PVC$,$ PVT$,$ and length of vertical curve, and

provide a mass diagram. The following assumptions

are given.

Design speed: $40m\frac{i}{h}$

The deceleration rate for braking: $11\mathrm{.}2f\frac{t}{se{c}^2}$

Perception$-$reaction time: $2\mathrm{.}5$ sec
