Elevation point of vertical curve
Calculate the elevation point of the vertical curve with the given curve length, initial and final grade and the initial elevation.
Calculator of elevation point on road
Formula
y = epvc + g1x + [ (g2 − g1) ×x² / 2L ]
Where,
- y – elevation of point of vertical tangency
- epvc – Initial Elevation
- g1 – Initial grade
- g2 – Final grade
- x/L – Length of the curve
