Problem 1. A 2300-ft equal-tangent crest vertical curve is currently designed for 60 mph. This curve connects an initial grade of +3.5% and a negative, final grade. (1) What is the min. K-value under the 60 mph design speed? 11.0 (2) Use that min. K-value as your design value, determine A and G₂. (3) Where is the highest point along the curve located?
