The tangent vertical alignment of a section of proposed highway is shown in the figure below. Determine the vertical clearance (ft) between bridge structure at Station 23+00 and the vertical curve.
Read the question carefully and give me right solution according to the question.
A −1.10% grade meets a +0.60% grade at station 36 + 00 and elevation 800.00 ft. The +0.60% grade then joins a +2.40% grade at station 39 + 00. What is the station of the midpoint?
Consider the three level sections shown in Table 1.
If the width of the road, b=12 m, calculate the slope of the side slopes of the sections.
If the combined volume of the given sections has been calculated using the Average End Area method and is given as 250494 m3, correct this volume using the prismoidal volume correction formula.
