A horizontally laid circular pipe culvert having an elevation of its top to be 26.0 m, crosses at right angles under a proposed 100 m high way parabolic curve. The point of intersection of grade lines is at station 5+216 and its elevation is 27.0 m while the culvert is located at station 5+228. The backward tangent has a grade of 3% and the grade of the forward tangent is -1.6%. Compute the stationing of the highest point of curve.
