A −2% grade meets +8% grade near an underpass. In order to maintain the minimum clearance allowed under the bridge and at the same time introduce a vertical transition curve in the grade line, it is necessary to use a curve that lies 400-m on one side of the vertex of the straight grade and 240 m on the other. The station of the beginning of the curve is 10+000 and its elevation is 200 m. Please provide report on the tangent elevation and curve elevation of 100 m station intervals. Also include in your report the calculation of the vertical distance under the bridge if the uphill edge o the underside of the bridge is at station 10+440 and at elevation of 203.41 m.
