An equal tangent vertical curve is intended to connect grades of 3% and -3.2%. If this curve is to be a part of a highway designed with a speed limit of 70mph, determine the minimum length (ft) of the vertical curve. Use exact solution (do not use the table)
A sag vertical curve joins a -6% grade and +5% grades. If the PVI of the grades is at Station 355+50 and at an elevation of 156 ft., determine the station and elevation of the PVC, PVT, and the low point for a design speed of 60 mph. Sketch the curve and label the PVI, PVC, PVT and the low point with their stations and elevations. Note: You should check the stopping sight distance criterion and riding comfort design criteria, using the one that controls. 2.

Q6. To help improve the safety of at-grade intersection of two roads, the intersection is being redesigned so that the E-W road will pass underneath the N-S road. Currently the vertical alignment of the E-W road consists of a crest vertical curve joining a 4% upgrade to a 3% downgrade. The existing vertical curve is 138 m long, the PVC of this curve is at station 14+47, and the elevation of the PVC is 477 m. The centerline of the N-S road is at station 15+45. Your job is to find the shortest vertical curve that provides 6.0 m of clearance between the new E-W road and the N-S road.

A crest vertical curve will connect a 1.5% grade to a -3% grade with a design speed of 45 mph. Using the SSD (stopping site distance) criterion, what is the minimum length of the curve?
A section of a two-lane highway (one lane in each direction) (12-ft lanes) is designed for 55 mi/h. At one point a vertical curve connects a -2.9% and +1.8% grade. The PVT of this curve is at station 38 + 50. It is known that a horizontal curve starts (has PC) 247 ft before the vertical curve's PVC. If the superelevation of the horizontal curve is 0.08 and the central angle is 39 degrees, what is the station of the PT (express station in the format 0.00, for example, station 10+50 must be expressed as 10.5)?
