Determine the values and stationing (sta. PT) for a compound curve to be placed on an exist loop of a freeway. The stationing of the loop construction will start at the point the taper departs the freeway with a station of 10+00. The PI of the compound curve will begin 2,700ft after the taper starts. The first curve has a radius of 2,400ft and a deflection angle of 33deg 45’ and the second curve has a radius of 1,900ft and a deflection angle of 25deg 15’.
