Solution: © Central angle of the reversed curve: 44560.40 0 cf 1 — SYMMETRICAL PARABOLIC CURVES In highway practice, abrupt change in the vertical direction of moving vehicles should be avoided. In order {o provide gradual change in its vertical direction, a parabolic vertical curve is adopted on account of its slope which varies at constant rate with respect to horizontal distances.

The curve bisects the distance between the vertex and the midpoint of the long chord. From similar triangles: BF= x8a4 BE = BF 1. HH the algebraic difference in the rale of grade of the two slopes is positive, that is (G1- 92), we have a “summit” curve, but Hit is negative, we have a “sag curve". The length of curve of a parabolic vertical curve, refers to-the horizontal distance from the P.C. tothe P.T. 5. The slationing of vertical parabolic curves Is measured not along the curve but along ahotizontal ine. . For a symmetrical parabolic curve, the number of stalons tothe let must be equal {o the number of stations to the right, of the intersection of the slopes or forward and backward tangent. 7. The slope ofthe parabola varies uniformly along the curve, as shown by Cfferensating the equation of the parabolic curve. yoke icy aes The second derivative is ey 2% 2 were SY = rale of change of grade or slope.

Compute the elevation at station 10 + 000.A vertical highway curve is at times designed to include a particular elevation al a Saat tae ee and backward tangents have already been established. It Is therefore necessary to use a curve with unequal tangents or a compound curve which is usually called ‘unsymmetrical’ or asymmetrical parabolic curve where one parabola extends from the P.C. to a point directly below the vertex and a second Which extends from this point to the Pll. In order to make the entire-curve smooth and continuous, the two parabolas are so constructed so that they will have a common tangent at the point where they joined, that is ata point directly below the vertex.
