A reversed curve with diverging tangents is to pass through three lines to form a center line of a proposed road. The first line AB has a bearing of N 88° E and a distance of 125m, BC has a bearing of N 62° E and a distance of 368m. While that of CD has a bearing of S 40° E and a distance of 375m. If the first tangent has a distance of only 1/4 that of the common tangent measured from the point of intersection of the first curve. What is the sum of the radius of the 1st and 2nd curve?

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.
