The reduced level at the intersection of a rising gradient of 1.7% and a falling gradient of 2.3% on a proposed road is 52.50m. Given that K value is 55. The throught chainage of the intersection point is 4020m and proposed vertical curve is to have equal tangent. As a civil engineering you are required to prepare the following vertical curve design calculations : A) The through chainage of the points of the vertical curve if the minimum required length is to be used (LV) and the vertical curve setting out data at 20 metres interval. b) The chainage and reduced level of the highest point on the curve. c) Through chainage at highest point was located exactly under a bridge, if the RL of soffit is 57.42m, calculate the headroom based on proposed vertical curve design.
