The angle between a 5-m full station of a certain curve is 10°. The curve has 7 intermediate stations between P.C. (10 + 300m) and P.T. After laying out the curve, it was found out that the P.T. falls in a property lot and it should be moved in a way that the P.T. will be free from crossing the lot. Compute all the necessary elements of the old curve and new relocated curve.
Vertical highway curve: Given PVI at 128 + 00, L = 1,000 ft, g1 = -5%, g2 = +4%, and PVI elevation= 457.25 ft, compute the elevations of the curve low point and the 100 ft stations (meansstations 124+00, 125+00, etc. until reaching the end of the curve) as well as for the beginningand end of the curve.
B- Unequal-Tangent Parabolic (Vertical) Curve: Example: A grade gl of -2% intersects g2 of +1.6% at a vertex whose station and elevation are 87+00 and 743.24, respectively. A 400 vertical curve is to be extended back from the vertex, and a 600' vertical curve forward to closely fit ground conditions. Compute and tabulate the curve for stakeout at full stations.

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'…
