SITUATION. A -3% grade meets a +5% grade near an underpass. In order to maintain the minimum clearance allowed under the bridge and at the same time introduce a vertical transition curve in the grade line, it is necessary to use a curve that lies 200-m on one side of the vertex of the straight grade and 100-m on the other. The station of the beginning of the curve (200-m side) is 10+000 and its elevation is 228 m. Determine the stationing of the lowest point of the curve. O 10+206 O 10+203 O 10+213

Introduction to Engineering Design

Students are often confused with engineering and design. The term engineering design has two words with different meanings, engineering, and design. The term engineering implies applications of laws and principles of science to design and analyze physical structures and components. In civil engineering, students apply the concept of physics and chemistry to design and build structures and buildings. In engineering disciplines, the term design means determining the dimensions, loads, and associated influences on the component due to the applied loads such as stresses and deformations. The estimation of such parameters is crucial to make the component or structure foolproof.
