Problem (1)
PVI station and elevation are 41+00.00 and 1262.00 ft. Incoming and outgoing grades are -2.50% and +3.00%. What is the curve length if it must pass through an elevation of 1268.00 ft at station 42+50.00?
Problem (2)
A +1.75% grade intersects a -2.25% grade at 32+50.00 and elevation 1015.00. An existing overpass is located at station 31+56.50. Its underside elevation is 1022.50 ft. What is the minimum curve length which will provide 12 ft of clearance under the overpass?
