Electronic Spreadsheet

Tabular listing has many advantages ranging from time management to efficient scheduling of tasks. Electronic spreadsheets allow the user to tabulate and analyze data, using its easy-to-use interface. An electronic spreadsheet is a staple application used among accountants, management staff, and IT professionals. It is used in various sectors worldwide for data management. An electronic spreadsheet is a system and computer software that could be used to do numerical computations automatically. Spreadsheet application programs are often organized as a table with rows and columns. Each row and column intersect to form a cell, which may be used to store data. These data can take the form of a written label, a number, or a formula that combines information from other cells.

A horizontal curve on Texas Highway 83 (Tx83) comprises of a two-lane rural highway with a lane width of 12 ft. and superelevation of 8%. The posted speed limit is 50 mph. along a 0.5-mile section of highway, both a horizontal and vertical curve exists. The vertical curve has an initial grade of -2.00% and a final grade of +4.00%. The PVI is at station 156+40. A driver traveling eastbound strikes a stationary roadway object. The daytime crash results in a fatality and is being investigated for safe design speed. Evaluate and comment on the roadway design.
An equal tangent vertical curve is to be constructed between grades of -2.0% and +1.0 %. The PVI is at station 11 +000.00 and at elevation 420 m. Due a street crossing the roadway, the elevation of the roadway at station 11 +071.00 must be at 421.5 m. Design the curve. (what is the curve length?)

Q6. To help improve the safety of at-grade intersection of two roads, the intersection is being redesigned so that the E-W road will pass underneath the N-S road. Currently the vertical alignment of the E-W road consists of a crest vertical curve joining a 4% upgrade to a 3% downgrade. The existing vertical curve is 138 m long, the PVC of this curve is at station 14+47, and the elevation of the PVC is 477 m. The centerline of the N-S road is at station 15+45. Your job is to find the shortest vertical curve that provides 6.0 m of clearance between the new E-W road and the N-S road.
