Formulas to find Permissible Rate

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.

Formulas to find Change in Grade

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
