An interstate is being built below and overpass. The PVI of the interstate sag curve is below the overpass. The sag curve transitions from -4% to +3% and has a design speed of 65 mph. Ignoring the cross-sectional width of the overpass, calculate the minimum clearance height of the overpass?

Sag Vertical Curve) An existing highway-railway at-grade crossing is being redesigned as grade separated to improve traffic operations. The railway must remain at the same elevation. The highway is being reconstructed to travel under the railway. The underpass will be a sag curve that has an initial grade of -2% and a final grade of 2%. The PVI of the sag curve will be centered under the railway (a symmetrical alignment). The sag curve design speed is 45 mi/h. How...

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...
