A vertical curve crosses a 1-m diameter pipe at right angles. The pipe is located at station 11 + 025.000 and its centerline is at elevation 1091.60 m. The PVI of the vertical curve is at station 11 + 000.000 and elevation 1095.20 m. The vertical curve is equal tangent, 150 m long, and connects an initial grade of +1.20% and a final grade of -1.08%. Using offsets, determine the depth, below the surface of the curve, to the top of the pipe, and determine the station of the highest point on the curve

Question

A vertical curve crosses a 1-m diameter pipe at right angles. The pipe is located at station 11 + 025.000 and its centerline is at elevation 1091.60 m. The PVI of the vertical curve is at station 11 + 000.000 and elevation 1095.20 m. The vertical curve is equal tangent, 150 m long, and connects an initial grade of +1.20% and a final grade of -1.08%. Using offsets, determine the depth, below the surface of the curve, to the top of the pipe, and determine the station of the highest point on the curve.
