Problem 573:

A +5.2% grade is followed by a -2% grade of a vertical summit parabolic curve at station 2 + 230 with an
elevation of 194.60m. The parabolic curve is 450m. long.
a) Compute the length of curve per 1° change in grade.
b) Compute the elevation of the highest point of curve.
c) Compute the stationing of point C whose elevation is 185.35.

A horizontal curve is to be designed for a two-lane road in the proposed extension of NLEX.
The following data as known:
Deflection angle = 40°
Tangent length = 134m
Coefficient of Friction = 0.12
Super elevation = 0.08
Compute the design speed in kph.
