It is required to construct a vertical curve with 400m from the PC at STA 3+16, elev.214m to the vertex and 240m from the vertex to the PT. The grade at PC is -2% and the grade at PT is 8%. Determine the station and elevation of the lowest point of the curve. Draw a figure if necessarily. Show detailed solution.
