Question
Two tangents intersect at V with back tangent having a grade of -4.5% and forward
tangent of 5.5%. A 200 m curve lies on the side of PC and 102.5 on the other side.
Stationing of V is at 10+538 having an elevation of 104 m. If a bridge is located above
the curve, with its centerline having an elevation of 118.5 m and stationing of
10+555, with underside of the bridge located 55 cm below the given elevation,
determine the height of highest vehicle it can accommodate if the bridge has a width
of 12 m.
