Read the question carefully and give me right solution according to the question.
A −1.10% grade meets a +0.60% grade at station 36 + 00 and elevation 800.00 ft. The +0.60% grade then joins a +2.40% grade at station 39 + 00. What is the station of the midpoint?
Please answer the questions in the picture please, Show all of your work. Thank you.
Copy the questions and answer. Provide necessary drawings / illustrations base on the
problems.
Problem 1:
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 200m on one
side of the vertex of the straight grade and 100m on the other. The station of the
beginning of the curve (200m side) is 10+ 000 and its elevation is 228m.
a.) Determine the elevation at station 10 +
040.
b.) If the uphill edge of the underside of the
bridge is at station 10+ 220 and at
elevation 229.60m, what is the vertical
clearance under the bridge at this point?
c.) Determine the stationing of the lowest
point of the curve.
