Drainage of Pavements

Pavement Drainage holds ample significance, as it prevents the accumulation of water or any liquid on the surface of pavements and ensures proper drainage system. With proper design and gradual slopes provided, the water gets easily removed from the surface into the drains, which are essential during heavy rains and unusual weather conditions keeping it less prone to accidents and increasing the durability of the pavement structure.

A crest vertical curve joining a + 3 percent and – 4 percent grade is to be designed for 75 mph. If the tangent intersect at station (345 + 6000) at an elevation of 250 ft, determine the stations and elevations of the PVC and PVT.
An equal-tangent curve connects a +1.0% and a -0.5% grade. The PVC is at station 54+24 and the PVI is at station 56+92. Is this curve long enough to provide passing sight distance for a 60-mi/r design speed? Problem 2
A sag vertical curve joins a -6% grade and +5% grades. If the PVI of the grades is at Station 355+50 and at an elevation of 156 ft., determine the station and elevation of the PVC, PVT, and the low point for a design speed of 60 mph. Sketch the curve and label the PVI, PVC, PVT and the low point with their stations and elevations. Note: You should check the stopping sight distance criterion and riding comfort design criteria, using the one that controls. 2.
Q6. To help improve the safety of at-grade intersection of two roads, the intersection is being redesigned so that the E-W road will pass underneath the N-S road. Currently the vertical alignment of the E-W road consists of a crest vertical curve joining a 4% upgrade to a 3% downgrade. The existing vertical curve is 138 m long, the PVC of this curve is at station 14+47, and the elevation of the PVC is 477 m. The centerline of the N-S road is at station 15+45. Your job is to find the shortest vertical curve that provides 6.0 m of clearance between the new E-W road and the N-S road.

A vehicle highway curve has an approach grade of -4% and the P.C is at station 11+00. The curve is to be 800 ft. long and the sag point is to be at station 16+00 of elevation 86.0 ft. Compute the grade of the forward tangent and locate the P.I.
1) An equal-tangent crest vertical curve has a 50 mi/h design speed. The initial grade is +3%. The high point is at station 33+37.43 and the PVT is at station 37+18.26. What is the elevation difference between the high point and the PVT? 2) A 1400-ft-long sag vertical curve (equal tangent) has a PVC at stateion 115+00 and elevation 750ft. The intial grade is -3.5% and the final grade is +6.5%. Determine the elevation and stationing of the low point, PVI, and PVT. If you could show as many steps taken as possible that would be helpful in me actually understanding how to do the problem. Thanks
An equal-tangent crest vertical curve is 1100 ft long and connects a +2.5% and a -1.5% grade. If the design speed of the roadway is 85 mi/h, determine the length of curve, does this curve have adequate passing sight distance?
Please correct answer
please be sure answer is correct.
Consider the same vertical curve from Problem 1 that has a +3.2% initial grade and -1.1% final grade. The point of vertical intersection is at station 98+20. The highest point of the curve is at station 100+79.35 to meet drainage design. What is the station of the point of vertical curvature (Also known as beginning of vertical curve). 92+88.95 92+90.81 92+88.05 (INCORRECT) 92+91.23 This is Question 1: Consider a vertical curve with a +3/2% initial grade and -1.1% final grade. The point of vertical intersection is at station 98+20. The highest point of the curve is at station 100+79.35 to meet drainage design. What is the design speed, in mph? Correct answer here is 70 MPH
A new highway is designed to join a crest curve with +1.0% and -0.5% grades for PVC and PVT, respectively. Knowing that the stations of PVC and PVI are STA 51+25 and STA 56+90, examine whether or not the curve is long enough to provide passing sight distance when the design speed is 60mi/h.
