DO NOT SHORTCUT THE SOLUTION. An underpass crossing a reinforced concrete bridge along Shaw Blvd has a symmetrical vertical curve, having a downward grade of -4% meeting an upward grade of +8% at the vertex V at elevation 70 m and stationing of 7+700, exactly underneath the center line of the bridge having a width of 10 m. If the required minimum clearance under the bridge is 5 m, and the elevation of the bottom of the bridge is 78.10 m. SHOW -( COMPLETE SOLUTION AND FIGURE ) - IN SOLVING, PLEASE USE THE SQUARED PROPERTY OF PARABOLA a) Determine the length of the vertical parabolic curve that shall connect the two tangents. b) Determine the stationing of the point a catch basin (lowest point) will be placed. c) Determine the elevation of the point where a catch basin (lowest point) will be placed.
Solve for the Reduce Levels of various pegs station on a vertical curve connecting two uniform grades of 0.5% and -0.15%. The chainage and R.L of point of intersection are 5232 m and 5152 m respectively. Take rate of change of grade as 0.09% per 30 m.
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. As an ENGINEER, what would be your advice for relocation? Compute all the necessary elements of the old curve and new relocated curve.
A corner of a tall building is located 50 ft from the centerline of a two-lane highway, which has 12-ft wide lanes. The building is situated on the inside of a horizontal curve with a centerline radius of 600 ft. Assuming that there is no other sight restriction along the curve, determine the minimum sight distance along the curve.
