A vertical curve of G1=+3%, G2=+1%, on a two-lane two way

A vertical curve of G1=+3%, G2=+1%, on a two-lane two way

road. Find the curve length? Assume S.S.D=220ft, P.S.D=730ft, H.L.D=500ft.
b) If the road is widened and divided by island, Find the curve length?

Example

Слайд 9

a) As the road is two lane two way road, then

a) As the road is two lane two way road, then

P.S.D is control.
A=|G2-G1|
= |+1-+3|=2
Assume P.S.DL=2(730²)/864=1233.6ft ok.
