3rd segment confusion
hi all
about the clarity on 3rd seg.... is a level segment but for net gradient req -0.8%, this negative dip in height getting compensated by equivalent increase in horizontal dist et al
my understanding of this has been..
when i reduce level segment by 0.8% , i go below the level segment height to a certain point. from this point i climb at the stipulated climb gradient and where this again meets the level segment height gives me the required level segment.
this has incorporated the equivalent distance increase.
am i too off the mark ???
