Vertical Curve Offset Distance Calculator

Vertical offset is the vertical distance from the VPI (Vertical Point of Intersection) to the arc. Vertical curve is used for the design work and transitions from vertical distance to another design pavements. The rate of change will be constant in vertical curve. Using this online vertical curve offset distance calculator, you can calculate middle ordinates or distance of vertical offset curve of the highways with the given length of the curve, initial and final grade.

Code to add this calci to your website

Just copy and paste the below code to your webpage where you want to display this calculator.

Formula Used:

E = [ L x (g₂ - g₁) ] / 8 Where, E - Vertical Offset g₁ - Initial grade g₂ - Final grade L - Length of the curve
