Self Study: Vertical Curves Set 1
Problem (1)
PVI station and location are 74+26.50 and 772.30 ft. What are the endpoints' stations and elevations of a 750.00 ft long curve with incoming and outgoing grades of -4.00% and +2.00%?
For problems (2) through (4), compute the following items
(a) Curve table at full station interval. Include curve point grades.
(b) Stations and elevations of the curve's highest and lowest points?
Problem (2)
PVI station and location are 56+50.00 and 1325.00 ft. Incoming and outgoing grades are +5.0% and -3.5%. A 500.00 ft long vertical curve will be used.
Problem (3)
A 425.00 ft long curve ends at station and elevation 88+00.00 and 1220.00. Its initial and final grades are -4.00% and +2.75%.
Problem (4)
A curve begins at station 32+00.00 and elevation 912.00 ft; it ends at station 38+00.00 and elevation 915.00 ft. The PVI elevation is 918.00 ft.
Problem (5)
A 400.00 ft vertical curve begins at station 29+00.00 and elevation 954.00 ft. Its initial and final grades are -1.00% and -2.25%.
Part (a)
What are the station and elevation of the curve's midpoint?
Part (b)
What are the stations and elevations of the curve's highest and lowest points?
