Elevation of PVC given Elevation of Lowest Point on Sag Curve Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Elevation of PVC = Elevation of Lowest Point on a Sag Curve+((Grade at beginning of Curve^2)/(2*Rate of Change of Grade))
E₀ = E_s+((G_I^2)/(2*R_g))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Elevation of PVC - (Measured in Meter) - Elevation of PVC(point of vertical curvature) can be described as the vertical line passing through the point of curvature.
Elevation of Lowest Point on a Sag Curve - (Measured in Meter) - Elevation of Lowest Point on a Sag Curve can be described as the point at which the tangent intersection point.
Grade at beginning of Curve - Grade at beginning of Curve can be described as the grade at the beginning of the parabolic curve.
Rate of Change of Grade - (Measured in Per Meter) - Rate of Change of Grade is a rate that describes how one grade changes in relation to another.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Elevation of Lowest Point on a Sag Curve: 49 Meter --> 49 Meter No Conversion Required
Grade at beginning of Curve: 10 --> No Conversion Required
Rate of Change of Grade: 50.5 Per Meter --> 50.5 Per Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

E₀ = E_s+((G_I^2)/(2*R_g)) --> 49+((10^2)/(2*50.5))

Evaluating ... ...

E₀ = 49.990099009901

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

49.990099009901 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

49.990099009901 ≈ 49.9901 Meter <-- Elevation of PVC

Elevation of PVC given Elevation of Lowest Point on Sag Curve

Go Elevation of PVC = Elevation of Lowest Point on a Sag Curve+((Grade at beginning of Curve^2)/(2*Rate of Change of Grade))

Elevation of Lowest Point on Sag Curve

Go Elevation of Lowest Point on a Sag Curve = Elevation of PVC-((Grade at beginning of Curve^2)/(2*Rate of Change of Grade))

Length of Curve using Rate of change of Grade in Parabolic Curves

Go Length of Parabolic Curves = (Grade at end of curve-(-Grade at beginning of Curve))/Rate of Change of Grade

Elevation of Point of Vertical Curvature

Go Elevation of PVC = Elevation of PVI-(1/2)*(Length of Parabolic Curves*(-Grade at beginning of Curve))

Elevation of Point of Vertical Intersection

Go Elevation of PVI = Elevation of PVC+(1/2)*(Length of Curve*Grade at beginning of Curve)

Rate of Change of Grade given Distance from PVC to Lowest Point on Sag Curve

Go Rate of Change of Grade = -(Grade at beginning of Curve/Distance from PVC to lowest point on a sag curve)

Distance from PVC to Lowest Point on Sag Curve

Go Distance from PVC to lowest point on a sag curve = -(Grade at beginning of Curve/Rate of Change of Grade)

Elevation of PVC given Elevation of Lowest Point on Sag Curve Formula

Elevation of PVC = Elevation of Lowest Point on a Sag Curve+((Grade at beginning of Curve^2)/(2*Rate of Change of Grade))
