Concept explainers

Curve setting

A curve is a turn that is provided horizontally or vertically in the design of highways, railways, and runways. A curve connects two straight lines that are separated by the deflection angle. It helps to change the direction and alignment of the highways, railway tracks, and runways. Therefore, the gradual change in their alignment is made by using a curve to provide comfort to the passengers and this also provides an easy turn to change the direction of the moving vehicle.

A reverse curve with diverging tangent is to be designed for a proposed highway as illustrated below. The reverse curve is composed of one compound curve, from point A to C, and one simple curve, from point C to D. Point A is located at the Point of Curvature having Station 12+808.35, point B is located at the Point of Compound Curve, point C is located at the Point of Tangency. The back tangent of the reverse curve is having an located at the Point of Reverse Curve, and point D azimuth of 388.5 degrees and the forward tangent is having an azimuth of 748.8 degrees. The common tangent for the reverse curve has an azimuth of 313.1 degrees from south. It has been found out that the long chord of curve A to C is thrice the value of the chord in curve C to D.
