Profiling a Vertical Curve
Profiling a Vertical Curve
(OP)
I recently profiled a concrete paving job that involved profiling through a vertical curve causing an abnormal amount of must and count grinding. I was wondering if there are any specs or regulations or limitations or if you have any useful info on profiling vertical curves. any info will help, thank you





RE: Profiling a Vertical Curve
1. Did your company design and stake omiting the VC
2. Are you designing new construction and do not have any original construction drawings
I am puzzeled as to why you had an excessive amount of planing if all was built according to plan

I recommend you hire an independent professional engineer/surveyor to review the design through the vertical curve and also review the cut sheets (field notes) from the staking crew. I'm suspecting they will find something wrong that shows a design or staking error that should have been caught before construction commenced or while setting up staking notes.
The response from the inspector was interesting, to say the least. If it was a DOT-designed set of plans, one could almost surmise he was trying to deflect the responsibility for the grade problems.

I grew up around infrastructure construction, including roadways, and have designed many miles of subdivision roads with and without curbing. I have never heard the term "must and count grinding". What is that? Does that apply to concrete road travel surfaces on major highways?
