Along these lines, I ran through a test of their Calc sheet using fairly
innocuous data:
PI 1 = 100.00
A = 100.70
B = 99.30
G1 = -2.00%
G2 = -2.00%
Delta = 90-00-00
R = 35.00
L = 54.98
T = 35.00
And ended up with:
M1 = 100.00
M2 = 100.38
M3 = 99.62
Which produced grades from quarter point to quarter point of:
A-M2 = -4.51%
M2-M1 = -2.76%
M1-M3 = -2.76%
M3-B = -2.33%
I'm glad I checked it, because I had a Blunder in it the 1st time through.
But I'll never tell. 🙂
So Jeff Wilkerson, is that 1st grade produced around the curb return and the
Algebraic Difference of 2.51 at point A what's troubling you?

Any error presented to a bureaucrat must be documented, and that
documentation will need to start with showing them how the error was
produced - by following their procedures.
And to the 1st Jeff - have you called down there to ask them if this is a
"Known Issue"?
Where on that page did you find the error? What part of the calculations?

Don,
Reread his post....He said he is looking at that and he thinks he found an
error in it. I think he wants another place to look and compare it with this
one.

Hey Jeff;
County of Riverside, as in CA?
http://tinyurl.com/ctcuy
That will get you into their PDF file, where you can enter "plane" without
the "", and I found the page you wanted at the 4th hit in the list of 6
possible it found.
Add that page to your Favorites, or save a copy on your server. I think
you'll need it again. 🙂

I am looking at the County of Riverside "Plane Method Curb Return Design"
worksheet, and think I have found an error in it. Does anyone have a
reference that explains in detail how the plane method formulas are derived?
A website link would be nice, but I'll take a book reference as well.
Thanks,
Jeff
