Find reduced levels of the various points on a parabolic vertical curve, which is to be set to connect two uniform grades 0.6% and - 0.7%. The chainage and required level of the point of intersection are 2525 m and 335.65 m respectively. A ssume the rate of change of grade to be 0.05 per 20 m chain.
