A symmetrical parabolic curve passes through point A whose elevation is 23.33m at a distance of 54m from the PC. The elevation of the PC at station 4+100 is 22.56m. The grade of the back tangent is +2% and the length of the curve is 120m. 5. Determine the grade of the forward tangent. 6. Determine the stationing of the highest point of the curve.

Q: Problem 2 A symmetrical vertical summit curve has tangents of +5% and -3%. The allowable rate of…

Drainage of Pavements

Pavement Drainage holds ample significance, as it prevents the accumulation of water or any liquid on the surface of pavements and ensures proper drainage system. With proper design and gradual slopes provided, the water gets easily removed from the surface into the drains, which are essential during heavy rains and unusual weather conditions keeping it less prone to accidents and increasing the durability of the pavement structure.
