SAMPLE PROBLEM
1
A 5% grade intersects a -3.4% grade at station 1+990m of elevation
42.50m. Design a vertical summit curve connecting the two tangents
to conform with the following safe stopping sight distance
specifications:

Design speed ------------------------------------------------------- 60 kph


Perception reaction time -------------------------------------- 0.75 sec.
Coefficient of friction -------------------------------------------- 0.15

Determine:
a. Stopping Sight Distance
b. Length of Curve, assuming S<L
c. Location, Station, and Elevation of the Highest point in the
curve

A vertical summit curve has grades of +3% and -2% which
intersects at station 20+040m. If the stopping sight distance
is equal to 163.78m, compute:

a. The maximum speed that a vehicle could move along this


curve to avoid collision if the PIEV time of the driver is 2
sec. and the average skid resistance is 0.25.
b. The length of the curve.
c. The location, station, and elevation of the highest point
in the curve if P.C. is at elevation 52.25m amsl.
