Concept explainers

Structural components of framed construction

It is a rigid and stable framework of structures that consists of structural members like slabs, beams, and columns that can resist the deformation due to the self-weight and high external loads and transfer the applied loads safely to the substructure and consecutively to the ground. It is made of different materials, such as reinforced concrete, steel, and wood. In ancient days, load-bearing structures were used to build houses and houses were built using load-bearing walls.

Question

Given two grades intersecting at station 1 + 250m, one grade at +6%, the other at -3%. Use a vertical curve of 183m composed of two sections, L1 of 121.95m and L2 of 61.05m. Find the elevation on the curve at station 1 + 220 and at station 1 + 280.

A 4.5% grade intersects a -1% grade at STA 5+180 at an elevation of 195m. 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 summit.
Prob. 3. A forward tangent of +6% was designed to intersect a back tangent of -3% at a proposed underpass along Bonifacio St. so as to maintain a minimum clearance allowed under a bridge which crosses perpendicular to the underpass. A 200 m. curve lies on the side of the back tangent while a 100 m. curve lies on the side of the forward tangent. The stationing and elevation of the grade intersection is 12+530.20 and 100 m., respectively. The center line of the bridge falls at station 12+575.20. The elevation of the underside of the bridge is 117.48 m. Determine the minimum clearance of the bridge if it has a width of 10m.
Problem 1 A parabolic curve has a descending grade of -0.6% which meets an ascending grade of 0.3% at sta. 10 + 020. The maximum allowable change of grade per 20 m station is 0.15.

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.
