Unsymmetrical Parabolic Curves

This document contains information about two unsymmetrical parabolic road curves. The first curve is 40m long on the left side and 60m long on the right side, with a high point at station 6+780 of elevation 110m. An outcrop at station 6+800 has elevation 108.40m. The second curve connects tangents with slopes of -4% and +7% that intersect at station 6+300 with elevation 230m. The curve is 60m long on the back tangent side and passes through point A at station 6+270 with elevation 227.57m.

Problem 1

An unsymmetrical parabolic curve has a forward tangent of -8%


and a back tangent of +6%. The length of curve on the left side of
the curve is 40m long while that of the right side is 60m long. The
PC is at station 6+780 and has an elevation of 110m. An outcrop is
found at station 6+800 has an elevation of 108.40m.
1. Compute the height of fill needed to cover the out crops.
2. Compute the elevation of curve at station 6+820.
3. Compute the elevation of the highest point of the curve.
Problem 2
A forward tangent having a slope of -4% intersects the back tangent
having a slope +7% at point at station 6+300 having an elevation of
230m. It is required to connect the two tangents with an
unsymmetrical parabolic curve that shall pass through point A on the
curve having an elevation of 227.57m at station 6+270. The length of
curve is 60m on the side of the back tangent.
1. Determine the length of the curve on the side of the forwards
tangent.
2. Determine the stationing of the highest point of the curve.
3. Determine the elevation of the highest point of curve.
