Situation: For No. 1 to 12


Determine the length of the curve required to
connect the bridge and tunnel while keeping the connecting grade as small as
possible. A highway has a design speed of 90.00 KPH but an engineering mistake
has resulted in the need to connect an already constructed tunnel and bridge with
sag and crest vertical curves the profile view of the tunnel and bridge is given.
Devise a vertical alignment to connect the tunnel and bridge by determining the
highest possible common design speed (for desirable SSD) for the sag and crest
(equal tangent) vertical curves needed. Compute the stationing and elevations of
PVC, PVI and PVT curve points.
