Q2: Two intersecting profile gradients consist of a +1.5% gradient meeting a -1% gradient. They are to be joined by a parabolic vertical curve 137.5m long. Station of the PVT= 740.09m, RL PVT = 92.91m. 1. Set out the vertical curve at stations 680 and 720. 2. Calculate the length of the single Chord between station 680 and 720. 3. Find the chainage and RL for the low/high point. 4. The gradient at station 740
