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
