1. Two roads with azimuths of due east are to be connected using a reversed curve. The PC is at the lower tangent and the PT is at the upper tangent. The distance between two centers is 2256.85 m and the perpendicular distance of the two roads is 25 m apart. The stationing of the point of intersection of the first curve is 12+022.022. The reversed curve has a common radius, R. a) Compute the long chord of the curve. b) Compute the stationing of the point where the curve starts to reverse in direction. c) Compute the stationing of the point where the reversed curve end.

Question
1. Two roads with azimuths of due east are to be connected using a reversed curve. The PC is at the lower tangent and
the PT is at the upper tangent. The distance between two centers is 2256.85 m and the perpendicular distance of the
two roads is 25 m apart. The stationing of the point of intersection of the first curve is 12+022.022. The reversed
curve has a common radius, R.
a) Compute the long chord of the curve.
b) Compute the stationing of the point where the curve starts to reverse in direction.
c) Compute the stationing of the point where the reversed curve end.
