7. A sag vertical curve connects a-4.75% grade and a +3.75% grade. The PVI is at station 45+90.00 at an elevation of 611.00 ft. The design speed is 50 mi/h. Determine the minimum length of the vertical curve using the AASHTO method ("K" factors). Round the minimum length up to the next 10 ft multiple for design of the vertical curve and associated calculations. Using this length, determine: The station and elevation of the PVC The station and elevation of...
An equal-tangent crest vertical curve has a 50-mi/h design speed. The initial grade is +3%. The high point is at station 33 + 40.76 and the PVT is at station 37 + 24.66. What is the elevation difference between the high point and the PVT?

A 500-feet vertical curve connects a -4% grade to a +2percent grade with a PVI at station 35 + 60.55. The PVI has an elevation of 438.24ft. (a) Calculate the location and elevation of: the PVC, the PVI, and the high point or low point on the curve. (b) What should be the maximum posted speed limit on this curse?
EXIT 211 A A 2,125 ft equal tangent vertical curve joins a +2.2% grade to-3.6% grade. The PVI of the vertical curve is station 55+21 at elevation 150 ft. To meet MUTCD standards for advance guidance, an overhead sign structure must be placed at station 55+85. The bottom of the sign will be 18 ft above the roadway surface (more than the recommended 16.5 feet to accommodate larger trucks that use the roadway). WEST 56 Utopia Botlom of sign 18...
