    Class15-Vertical Curve

    The document contains details and instructions for two exercises involving vertical curve calculations: 1) A 600ft equal tangent vertical curve crosses a 4ft diameter pipe. The curve connects grades of +1.2% and -1.08%. The summary asks to calculate the depth of the pipe below the curve and the station of the highest point. 2) An existing tunnel needs to be connected to a newly constructed bridge with sag and crest vertical curves of equal length. The profile shows the tunnel floor at 100ft and bridge deck at 140ft. The summary asks to determine the highest possible common speed for the sag and crest curves and calculate the stationing and elevation of curve points.

    Exercise 1:

    A vertical curve crosses a 4-ft diameter pipe at right angles. The pipe is located at
    station 110+85 and its centerline is at elevation 1091.60 ft. the PVI of the vertical curve
    Is at station 110+00 and elevation 1098.4 ft. the vertical curve is equal tangent, 600 ft
    long, and connects an initial grade of +1.2% and a final grade of -1.08%. Using offsets,
    determine the depth, below the surface of the curve, of the top of the pipe and
    determine the station of the highest point of the curve.

    Exercise 2:

    An existing tunnel needs to be connected to a newly constructed bridge with sag and
    crest vertical curves. The profile view of the tunnel and bridge is shown by the figure
    (next slide).

    Develop a vertical alignment to connect the tunnel and bridge by determining the
    highest possible common speed for the sag and the crest (equal tangent) vertical
    curves needed. Compute the stationing and elevation of PVC, PVI, and PVT curve
    points.

    Initial and ending grades are zero.
