Problem 7: A vertical summit curve has tangent grades of + 2.8% and – 1.6%. A motorist whose eyesight is 1.5 m above the roadway sighted the top of a visible object 100 mm at the other side of the summit. Assuming that the sight distance is lesser than the length of the curve, calculate the length of the curve for a sight distance of 130 m.

Using a well annotated diagram, present the five point permissible approximations or assumptions used for the computations related to vertical curve design and setting out. A 100 metre vertical curve is to connect a downgrade of 1.75% to an upgrade of 1.25%. If the level of the intersection point of the two grades is 150m, calculate the curve levels at 20m intervals, showing the second difference check on the computation.
It is necessary to lay out a simple curve by deflection angles. The curve is to connect two tangents with an intersection angle of 320 and a radius of 240.00 meters. Compute the deflection angles to each full stations on the curve if the transit is set up at PC which is at Station (5 + 767.20m). Find the station of PT. Illustrate the figure and tabulate the results.
The deflection angle between two tangents is 95 degrees. Calculate the minimum radius (meters) that would be acceptable for a curve connecting these two tangents, assuming a Design Speed of 110km/hr and corresponding fmax of 0.12. Note: Your answer should be provided to ONE decimal place.

A horizontal curve with a radius of 800 ft connects the tangents of a two-lane Highway that has a posted speed limit of 35 mi/h. If the highway curve is not super elevated, e =0, determine the horizontal sightline offset (HSO) that a large billboard can be placed from the centerline of the inside lane of the curve, without reducing the required SSD. Perception-reaction time is 2.5 sec, and f = 0.35. when S<L and S>L.
