Chapter 25, Problem 25.1P
To determine
Advantage of using a parabola in the vertical curve design
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The vertical curve should provide smooth transitions between two set of grades. The ideal applied for vertical curves is parabola because it provides constant rate of change of grade for highways and railroads.
Conclusion:
The main advantage of using parabola because it provides smooth transition of curve.
