Problem
A grade of -5% is followed by a grade of 1%, the grades intersecting at the vertex (Sta. 10 + 060). The change of grade is restricted to 0.4% in 20 m. Compute the length of the vertical parabolic sag curve in meters.
| A. 360 m | C. 300 m |
| B. 320 m | D. 340 m |
Problem
A descending grade of 6% and an ascending grade of 2% intersect at Sta 12 + 200 km whose elevation is at 14.375 m. The two grades are to be connected by a parabolic curve, 160 m long. Find the elevation of the first quarter point on the curve.
Problem
A grade of -4.2% grade intersects a grade of +3.0% at Station 11 + 488.00 of elevations 20.80 meters. These two center gradelines are to be connected by a 260 meter vertical parabolic curve.
