Question
![A new road is being proposed to intersect an existing highway at location P. Determine the length of
the vertical curve of the new road. Also, determine the stationing and elevation of the lowest point and
the end of vertical curve.
G₁ = -4%; G₂ = +2%
Sta. P = 5 +850; Elev. P = 200 m
Sta. BVC = 5 + 680; Elev. BVC = 205 m
Answer: L = 481.67 m, STA. Lowest Point = 6 +001, Elev. Lowest Point = 198.58 m, STA. EVC =
6+162, Elev. EVC = 200.18 m](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fe89229cb-290b-4205-979f-f0f59d879509%2F80b11376-de05-4ffa-8826-50bd27d5f034%2Fkv78rh4_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
