Question
I need help calculating my VPC 0f 14+50, VPI 17+00 and VPT 19+50 elevations if I am given Sta 11+00 with elevation 5946.31. Problem 32 in the image below gives g1 and g2, k=64.
Transcribed Image Text:Calculate the "field notes" (ie. Elevations for every station on the vertical curve) and plot on a profile sheet).
Check your calculations by taking the 1st and 2nd differences.
Calculate your vertical curve for 40 mph using the AASHTO specification in the manual.
о Do you have a sag or crest curve?
○しろまる Look up the K factor on p. K32 in the manual, then, L = K(g2-g1). Round up to the nearest 100 ft.
Calculate the elevations for the VPC, VPT and every full 100 ft. station.
Use VPI = 17+00 for your problem. If VPC is
following stations every 100 ft after that.
+73, then next full 100 ft station is
_ +00 and the
Use elevation for Sta. 11+00 = 5946.31 ft for your problem #.
Calculate the station and elevation of the hi/low point and report it below the "field notes".
Your submittal includes a fully labelled engineering sketch. Use the grid provided or C3D.
This is an individual assignment, which can be done "by hand" or as an Excel Program.
