Drainage of Pavements

Pavement Drainage holds ample significance, as it prevents the accumulation of water or any liquid on the surface of pavements and ensures proper drainage system. With proper design and gradual slopes provided, the water gets easily removed from the surface into the drains, which are essential during heavy rains and unusual weather conditions keeping it less prone to accidents and increasing the durability of the pavement structure.

Question

A 750-ft equal-tangent crest vertical curve connects tangents that intersect at elevation 572 ft. The curve starts at station 15+25. The initial grade is +5% and the final grade is -3%. Determine the elevation of the middle point of the curve.
