Ideal curve is circular as per irc code.

Curves are two types they are Summit curve and valley curve.

And the best ideal curve is Summit curve.

Ajay said:   7 years ago
Option A is the correct answer.

Use the parabolic curve (or second degree curve) in vertical curve, because the rate of change of curve of parabola is constant.

Ajay pandey said:   1 decade ago
Because two gradients are vertical and positive so shape is parabolic.

Sumit said:   1 decade ago
How can you say that the two gradients are positive?

M.bhavya said:   1 decade ago
Because they given it is a vertical curve so it is parabolic.

But if falling grade meets rising grade it can be negative.

Vertical curve is parabolic(specification). Length is calculated by means of a circular curve.
