is there any chance that we can have compound vertical curves just like we have compound horizontal curves? i remember seeing a very very complicated vertical curve problem when I took my FE. it was like 2 curves in series :|
WHY70122 Yes, in fact there are many vertical curves which are "compounded" together. If you look at them closely, though, you'll see that most of them are simply two different vertical curves put together. Instead of having just two grades constitute the geometry of the curve, there are three grades (the middle grade is shared between the first and the third grade). These are called asymmetrical curves. Hope that helps!
Very helpful! Good teaching, simple, terms explained well. I appreciate this video! (I need to do this tomorrow at work, and I've never had to before.
Good and simple teaching 👍 ....
Thank you so much good sir !

+Simmy Sigma pls make a vid tutorial on that too. thanks :D
