The stations of the beginning of the vertical curve (BVC) and the end of the vertical curve (EVC) are 100+00 and 112+00 (ft), respectively. Elevation of EVC is 260.00 ft. Please calculate 1. Station of Point of vertical intersection (PVI). 2. Elevations of the curve at 110+00. 3. Station and elevation of the point in the curve that has the maximum elevation. 4. Tangent offset (distance from the tangent to the curve) at the point calculated in (b).

We can determine the station and elevation of points A and B by reducing this unequal tangent problem to two equal tangent problems. Point A is located 200' from the BVC and Point B is located 300' from the EVC. Knowing this we can compute the elevation of points A and B. Once A and B are known we can compute the grade from A to B thus allowing us to solve this problem as two equal tangent curves. Point A STA 85+00: Elev. = 743.24+2 (2) = 747.24'…
