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.

Question

An equal-tangent vertical curve
connects a +3.2 % and a -1.1 %
grade. The PVI is at station
100+20 and elevation 950 ft
and the PVT is at station
105+20. Answer the following
5 questions Question 3 to
Question 7.
The station of the PVC is at:
sta 93+20
sta 95+20
sta 97+20
sta 99+20
sta 105+20

For the curve above, (an equal-
tangent vertical curve connects
a +3.2 % and a -1.1 % grade.
The PVI is at station 100+20
and elevation 950 ft and the
PVT is at station 105+20.),
what is the design speed in
mph? Use K values, i.e., you
can assume G=0 for the
stopping sight distance
calculations and assume
AASHTO standards apply.

Note : If you don't know the solution please leave it but don't give me wrong solution. A vertical curve joining entering grade of -4% with an exiting grade of - 7% begins at station 2+607 and is being designed with K value of 72. What is the station of the highest point on the curve . Code the station as the total distance from the origin, i.e., if the station is 1+100 code it as 1100.
4. Horizontal Curve: P.C. 12+00.00 P.I T 4= 30° P.T. This highway has a 60 mph speed limit requiring a minimum radius for any curve to be 1500'. If the curve is to begin at Station 12+00.00 and is to have a radius of 1610.10', how long will the curve be? At what station will the PI and PT go? How long will E be? (Answers should all be in hundredths.)
Vertical highway curve: Given PVI at 128 + 00, L = 1,000 ft, g1 = -5%, g2 = +4%, and PVI elevation= 457.25 ft, compute the elevations of the curve low point and the 100 ft stations (meansstations 124+00, 125+00, etc. until reaching the end of the curve) as well as for the beginningand end of the curve.
