PROBLEM 10: (SYMMETRICAL VERTICAL PARABOLIC CURVE)
A horizontally laid circular pipe culvert having an elevation of its
top to be 26 m crosses at angle under a proposed 120 m highway
parabolic curve. The point of intersection of the grade lines is at
section 5 + 216 and its elevation is 27 m while the culvert is
located at station 5 + 228. The backward tangent has a grade of
+3% and the grade of the forward tangent is – 1.6%. Under this
condition, what will be the depth of cover over the pipe?
