Question

A REVERSE CURVE is composed of three simple curves (CURVE1, CURVE2 & CURVE3). CURVE1 is connected to CURVE2 at Station A. CURVE2 is connected to CURVE3 at Station B. The stationing of PC is 7 + 300.

 

CURVE1:

O1 to PC1: 550 meters (distance) and 0 deg, 0' (bearing in WCB)

O1 to PT1: 550 meters (distance) and 64 deg, 23' (bearing in WCB)

 

CURVE2:

O2 to PC2: 400 meters (distance) and 64 deg, 23' (bearing in WCB)

O2 to PT2: 400 meters (distance) and 75 deg, 20' (bearing in WCB)

 

CURVE3:

O3 to PC3: 320 meters (distance) and 255 deg, 20' (bearing in WCB)

O3 to PT3: 320 meters (distance) and 200 deg, 45' (bearing in WCB)

 

What is the length of the curve of CURVE1?

What is the stationing of Station A?

What is the length of the curve of CURVE2?

What is the angle of intersection of CURVE3?
