This app is designed with a simple interface to make it easy to input known verticle curve information.
Each (CODE = VALUE) are entered on separate lines.
This app utilizes the vertical curve information that is typically shown on engineering
drawings.
Three known curve components (Grade in, Grade out, Length) are required to calculate the unknown components.
Enter the three known curve components by using the appropriate codes then the
equals sign '=' followed by the value for that component. See the codes below:
Optional codes such as the Unit value, are entered on separate lines.
(Unit=M) Unit value defaults to IFT.
The codes and values can be entered in any order. They just need to be on separate lines.
This app is designed with a simple interface to make it easy to input known verticle curve information.

Six known curve components (Grade in, Grade out, PVI stationing, PVI elevation, PVC stationing and PVT stationing)
are required to calculate the unknown components.

I have several decades of land surveying and civil
engineering experience.
I was first licensed in 1983 in Wyoming and Utah. In
1986 I became licensed in Arizona. I was appointed a
United States Mineral Surveyor in 1986.
I have been practicing Land Surveying in Arizona
since 1990. I became a Certified Federal Surveyor in
2007.
I have several decades of computer programming
experience related to computer aided drafting and
coordinate geometry.
I am the pioneer in the use of Digital Signatures in
Arizona for professional documents.
(Required codes)
G1 = Grade In (decimal or %)
G2 = Grade Out (decimal or %)
L = Length
(Optional codes)
Round = 4 (default)
PVIsta = Stationing
... (Default 20+00.00)
PVIelev = Elevation
... (Default 2000.00)
Name = Curve name or comment
Unit = FT or M (Default FT)
POVCsta = POV Stationing
(Enter a POVCsta for a point along the curve that you want to determine the elevation for.)
POVCelev = POV Elevation
(Enter the POVCelev to determine the stationing for that elevation.) For Sag and Crest
curves there will be two solutions
Int = Interval
(Enter the Int=xx to calculate the station and elevation for each interval along the curve)
If a POVCsta is entered, then the intervals will start after this stationing. The default
starting station is the PVCsta.
NOTES:
Not all code combinations will work. You will need to experiment with different
codes to see which ones produce the results you are expecting. The rounding of the
values to varius decimal places will produce different results.

(Enter the Int=xx to calculate the station and elevation for each interval along the curve)
If a POVCsta is entered, then the intervals will start after this stationing. The default starting
station is the PVCsta.
NOTES:
Not all code combinations will work together. You will need to experiment with different
codes to see which ones produce the results you are expecting. The rounding of the
values to varius decimal places will produce different results.
