Step-by-step solution
4 stepsThis problem involves calculating the stationing of the Point of Vertical Intersection (PVI) and the Point of Vertical Tangency (PVT) given the stationing of the Point of Vertical Curvature (PVC) and the length of the vertical curve.
Understand the given information.
- Stationing of PVC (Point of Vertical Curvature) = . This means from the starting reference point.
- Length of the curve () = .
Determine the distance from PVC to PVI and from PVI to PVT.
For a symmetrical vertical curve, the PVI is located at the midpoint of the curve. Therefore, the distance from PVC to PVI is half the curve length, and the distance from PVI to PVT is also half the curve length.
Distance = .Calculate the Stationing of PVI.
The PVI (Point of Vertical Intersection) is located after the PVC. To find its stationing, add the distance calculated in Step 2 to the PVC stationing.
Stationing of PVI = Stationing of PVC +
Stationing of PVI =
Stationing of PVI =
In stationing notation, this is .Calculate the Stationing of PVT.
The PVT (Point of Vertical Tangency) is located after the PVI. To find its stationing, add the distance calculated in Step 2 to the PVI stationing.
Stationing of PVT = Stationing of PVI +
Stationing of PVT =
Stationing of PVT =
In stationing notation, this is .The Stationing of PVI is .
The Stationing of PVT is .
