Question: Vertical Alignment - min. curve length Problem 1 . An equal - tangent sag vertical curve is designed with the PVC at station 1 0

Vertical Alignment - min. curve length
Problem 1. An equal-tangent sag vertical curve is designed with the PVC at station 109+00 and elevation 950 ft , the PVI at station 110+77 and elevation 947.34 ft , and the low point at station 110+50. Determine the design speed of the curve.
Problem 2. Due to a cross street, the elevation of a road at station 112+00 must be 431.5 ft . Initial grade =-2.0%, final grade =1.0%, PVI is at station )=(420ft. Design the curve. (Curve-through-a-point problem)
