A highway reconstruction project is being undertaken to reduce crash rates. The reconstruction involves a major realignment of t
he highway such that a 60mph design speed is attained. At one point on the highway, a 720-ft equal tangent crest vertical curve exists. Measurements show that 3 40 stations from the PVC, the vertical curve offset is 3.5ft. Assess the adequacy of this existing curve in light of the reconstruction design speed of 60mph and, if the existing curve is inadequate, compute a satisfactory curve length.

Explanation:
Lets make use of these variables
Ox 16.5 kpsi, and Oy --14,5 kpsi
To determine the factor of safety for the states of plane stress. We have to first understand the concept of Coulomb-Mohr theory.
Mohr–Coulomb theory is a mathematical model describing the response of brittle materials such as concrete, or rubble piles, to shear stress as well as normal stress.
Please refer to attachment for the step by step solution.
