Change of Grade given Length Formula Elements

Variables
Change in Grade
Change in grade is the algebraic sum of two grades in the vertical curve. It is expressed in percentage.
Symbol: N
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Length of Vertical Curve
Length of Vertical Curve is determined by the permissible rate of change of grade or from centrifugal consideration as appropriate.
Symbol: L
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Permissible Rate
Permissible Rate is the maximum allowable rate of change in grade for vertical curves. For railway work 0.1% rate of change of grade is permitted at summits and 0.05% per chain at sags.
Symbol: PN
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
