Utilize our complimentary online tool to compute the elevation point of a vertical curve. Input the following parameters: Length, Initial Grade, Final Grade, Initial Elevation.
Employ this calculator to ascertain the elevation point of a vertical curve by utilizing provided input values such as curve length, initial and final grade, and initial elevation.
Elevation Point of Vertical Curve formula
![\[y = e_{pvc} + g_1x + \frac{{(g2 - g1) \cdot x^2}}{{2L}}\]](https://x-calculator.com/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-ffd7dba412ac57c78782db3cd6c2f95c_l3.png "Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com")
The variables used in the formula are:
y – elevation of the point of vertical tangency
epvc – Initial Elevation
g1 – Initial grade
g2 – Final grade
x/L – Length of the curve
Calculating vertical curve elevations on roads has been made easier here.
