1. In the establishment of a simple railway curve, it was found out that it must pass through a point 15 m from the vertex and equidistant from the tangents intersecting at an angle of 28°. The station of the vertex is at 2+880. Find the radius of the curve, the stationing of the beginning and end of the curve and the degree of the curve for a 20-m chord.

Highway Surveys and Location

Surveying is an operation in the civil engineering domain that requires collecting and identifying data regarding an area of land and topography. The data that is collected can be helped to plan and undertake the construction process. Civil engineers perform surveys to gather three-dimensional information regarding a particular area. Engineers specify several points on the surface of the earth and relationship between points, and the distance and angles between the points are evaluated. The data from this evaluation guides in drawing plans regarding buildings and structures.
