Q3: What is the minimum radius of horizontal curve for a design speed of 90 kph ?
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.
