Question
Example 2:
A vertical curve is to be constructed between a 3.5% grade and a -4% grade. The
required sight distance is 150 m. The dangerous object is considered to be on the
pavement surface, and the driver's eye level is at 1.05 m above the pavement surface.
Determine the length of the vertical curve that will satisfy the passing sight distance
requirement.
Еxample 3:
A crest vertical curve is to be designed to join a 3% grade with a -2% grade at a section
of a two-lane highway. Determine the minimum length of the curve if the design speed of
the highway is 100 kph, and SSD= 174m.
Example 4:
An existing vertical curve on a highway joins a 4.4% grade with a -4.4% grade. If the
length of the curve is 150 m, and SSD is 105.9m, what is the maximum safe speed on this
curve?
