Ideal vertical curve is circular if sight distance available throughout the length of curve is constant it possible only in case of Joining one Gradient.
In this case, two gradient are Joint by curve therefore sight distance is not constant throughout the length of curve so we provide Simple Parabolic curve.

Parabolic is done beacause in case of parabolic sight distance is large visible.

Ideal curve is circular but parabolic is provided.

Well you guys are too good at making simple things unexpectedly complicated.

The rising gradient is change 0.025 and falling 0.013333 beginning tanget elevation is 21.85 and end tangent elevation is 24.18.

How it will be parabolic?

How it is happen? Please explain.

A cubic spiral is suitable to cubic parabola but latter is used mostly because of its ease in setting out. Vertical curves are provided to negotiate the gradient of the two straights. Parabola is most suitable shape for vertical curves since it provides a uniform rate of change of gradient and smooth riding condition.

Ideal curve is circular as per irc code.
