    The document describes two engineering problems involving vertical parabolic curves connecting grades along a roadway. The first problem involves a curve connecting grades of -4.2% and +3.0% over 260 meters, and asks for the station of cross-drainage pipes or the invert elevation of a culvert. The second problem gives entering and existing grades meeting at station 10+100 with an elevation of 140.36m, and asks for the length of the vertical curve if the maximum grade change is -0.20% per 20m station.

    Problem

    A grade of -4.2% grade intersects a grade of +3.0% at Station 11 + 488.00 of elevations


    20.80 meters. These two center gradelines are to be connected by a 260 meter vertical
    parabolic curve.
    1. At what station is the cross-drainage pipes be situated?
    A. Sta 11 + 493.42 km
    B. Sta 11 + 509.67 km
    C. Sta 11 + 515.14 km
    D. Sta 10 + 600.00 km

    2. If the overall outside dimensions of the reinforced concrete pipe to be installed is 95


    cm, and the top of the culvert is 30 cm below the subgrade, what will be the invert
    elevation at the center?
    A. 25.76 m
    B. 22.15 m
    C. 27.32 m
    D. 21.83 m

    Problem
    A highway engineer must stake a symmetrical vertical curve where an entering grade of +0.80%
    meets an existing grade of -0.40% at station 10 + 100 which has an elevation of 140.36 m. If the
    maximum allowable change in grade per 20 m station is -0.20%, what is the length of the
    vertical curve?
    A. 150 m
    B. 130 m
    C. 120 m
    D. 140 m
