Example 2: A crest vertical curve joining a +3% grade and a -2% grade is to be designed for a two-lane highway with a design speed of 60 mph. If the tangents intersect at station (187+40.00) at an elevation of 180 ft., use the K-value to find the length of curve and determine the stations and elevations of the PVC. Also, find the location of the high point. Give: u 60 mph; G₁=+3.0 % %; G2=-2.0%; STAPVI = 187+40.00; Epv1 =180 ft.

A reverse curve with diverging tangent is to be designed for a proposed highway as illustrated below. The reverse curve is composed of one compound curve, from point A to C, and one simple curve, from point C to D. Point A is located at the Point of Curvature having Station 12+808.35, point B is located at the Point of Compound Curve, point C is located at the Point of Tangency. The back tangent of the reverse curve is having an located at the Point of Reverse Curve, and point D azimuth of 388.5 degrees and the forward tangent is having an azimuth of 748.8 degrees.
