SITUATION.
A 160m-long symmetrical parabolic summit curve connects two
grades of +6% and -4%. It is to pass a point “A” on the curve at
station 20+100. If the elevation of the grade intersection is 100m
with stationing of 20+120
SITUATION.
A descending grade of 0.8% meets an ascending grade of 0.4%
at station 12+300, with elevation of 250m, if the rate of change of
grade is 0.15% per station. Determine the following.
SITUATION
An unsymmetrical parabolic curve has a forward tangent of -8%
and a back tangent of +5%. The length of the curve on the left side
(P.C.) is 60 m. and the vertex at STA 0+500 is at elevation of 100
m. The elevation of the road just below the vertex is 97.3.
SITUATION.
A -2% grade meets a +8% grade near an underpass. In order to
maintain the minimum clearance allowed under the bridge and at
the same time introduce a vertical transition curve in the grade
line, it is necessary to use a curve that lies 400-m on one side of
the vertex of the straight grade and 240-m on the other. The
station of the beginning of the curve (400-m side) is 10+000 and
its elevation is 200 m.
