Choices: a) 8.8 m b) 7.9 m c) 7.7 m d) 7.8 m
Two tangents intersect at V with back tangent having a grade of -5% and forward
tangent of 6%. A 200 m curve lies on the side of PC and 110 on the other side.
Stationing of V is at 10+545 having an elevation of 105 m. If a bridge is located above
the curve, with its centerline having an elevation of 117.5 m and stationing of 10+585,
with underside of the bridge located 55 cm below the given elevation, determine the
height of highest vehicle it can accommodate if the bridge has a width of 10 m.
