Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
If a highway section has a gradient change from -2% to +3%, explain the design considerations for setting out smooth curves and calculate the required curve lengths with a radius of 250 m.
💡 Hint: Remember to account for safety, vehicle speed, and visibility!
Question 2
Design a road that connects a -1% grade to a +4% grade. Calculate the total length of the vertical curve needed and provide a tabulated summary of how chainage changes with distance on the curve.
💡 Hint: Break it down: consider each segment as you go!
