- A sag curve and crest curve connect a –3.5% tangent section of highway (to the west) with a +2.5% tangent section of highway (to the east). The +2.5% tangent section is at a higher elevation than the –3.5% tangent section. The two tangent sections are separated by 1150 ft of horizontal distance. If the design speed of the curves is 50 mi/h, what is the common grade between the sag and crest curves (G2 of sag and G1 of crest, from west to east), and what is the elevation difference between the PVCs and PVTc?

Two level sections of an east-west highway (G = 0) are to be connected. Currently, the two sections of highway are separated by a 4000-ft (horizontal distance), 2% grade. The westernmost section of highway is the higher of the two and is at elevation 100 ft. If the highway has a 60-mi/h design speed, determine, for the crest and sag vertical curves required, the stationing and elevation of the PVCs and PVTs given that the PVC of the crest curve...

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...
