CONNECT A FORWARD TANGENT OF 3% AND A BACK TANGENT OF-15% BY A 300 M SYMMETRICAL PARABOLIC CURVE. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE GRADE INTERSECTION AT STA 10+100 with ELEVATION 50 M FALLS ON ROCKY SECTION WITH THE EXPOSED BOULDER AT ELEVATION 102.67. TO AVOID ROCK EXCAVATION, IT WAS DECIDED TO ADJUST THE VERTICAL PARABOLIC CURVE THAT THE CURVE WILL JUST CLEAR THE ROCK WITHOUT ALTERING THE POSITION OF PC AND THE GRADE OF EACH TANGENTS. DETERMINE THE ELEVATION AND STA OF THE NEW PT.
