grades on curves
Posted by daniel1967 on Wednesday, October 15, 2003 11:29 AM
I'm constructing a point to point line (into tunnels) with a lower level mainline creating a continuous run. What materials/methods are most effective in creating a stable base on a wide radius curve with app.2.5 to 3.5 % grade between levels? I plan on making the upper level the main benchwork with a lower level shelf. Dan
