The middle ordinate calculation uses Equation 711. The second smaller k means the longer curve is flatter since is spreads the total grade change over a longer distance Figure B-4. Sta PT Sta V 1 T 1 L c 1 L c 2.
The length of vertical curve L is the projection of the curve onto a horizontal surface and as such corresponds to plan distance.
Given the stationing of PC. The length of vertical curve L is the projection of the curve onto a horizontal surface and as such corresponds to plan distance. Iv The central angle for the circular curve. M 81851 cos316297 1216feet 9037feet 7 100 632594 L 8185feet 7 57296 R.
