Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An equal-tangent crest vertical curve is designed for 70 mi/h. The high point is at elevation 822 ft. The initial grade is +1% and the final grade is +3%. If the PVC is at station 110+00, What is the elevation of the curve at 112+62?

Solution:

Determine the design length of the vertical curve based on the stopping sight distance (SSD):

L = KA

L = K X [G1 – G2]

K = 247

L = 247 * [ 1- 3] = 494
