2. A vertical parbolic curve was design in order to have a clear sight distance of 120 m. The grade lines intersect at Sta 9+000 at elev 160.50 . The curve was design such that when the height of the drivers eye is 1.50 m above the payment it would just see an object whose height is 0.10m above the pavement. Determine the max speed that a car could travel grade of 5% and a downgrade of -3%.
A crest vertical curve joining a + 3 percent and – 4 percent grade is to be designed for 75 mph. If the tangent intersect at station (345 + 6000) at an elevation of 250 ft, determine the stations and elevations of the PVC and PVT.
Q3/ A vertical curve below has a lower point (A) which exists at station (55+50) with elevation (1291.2 m). the back grade of (-8%) meet the forward grade of (+7.8%) at (PVI) station (54+00) with elevation (1281.5 m). determine the length of the curve with the stations of (PVC) and (PVT)?

1.) A -2.6% grade meets a +4.8% grade near an underpass. 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 240m on one side of the vertex of the straight grade and 115m on the other. The station of the beginning of the curve, PC, is 18 + 612 and its elevation is 415.81m. a. Determine the elevation at station 18 + 672. b. Determine the stationing of the lowest point of the curve.

A +3.00% grade intersects a -2.40% at station 46+70.00 and elevation 853.48 ft. A 400.00 ft curve will be used to connect the two grades. Compute Station and elevation for the curve's endpoints.
1. (Crest Vertical Curve) A vertical curve is designed for 55 mi/h and has an initial grade of +2.5% and a final grade of -1.0%. The PVT is at station 114 + 25. It is known that a point on the curve at station 112 + 75 is at elevation 240 ft. What is the stationing and elevation of the PVC? What is the stationing and elevation of the high point on the curve?
1. A vertical summit curve has its highest point of the curve at a distance 48 m from the P.T. The back tangent has a grade of +6% and a forward grade of -4%. The curve passes thru point A on the curve at station 25 + 140. The elevation of the grade intersection is 100 m at station 25 + 160. Compute the (a) length of curve (b) stationing of P.T. (c) elevation of point A on the curve which is 40 m from PC.
A 5.3% grade intersects a -1.9% grade at STA 5+180 at an elevation of 186m. A vertical curve of length 120m is to be run forward from the point of intersection, and a curve of length 80m is to be extended back forming an unsymmetrical curve. Determine the elevation (m) of the curve below PVI.
