A simple horizontal curve has 35 degrees of curvature and subtends an angle of 110 degrees. If the PC is at station 3 + 65.00 ft, what is the intermediate chord length (ft) (i.e. the straight line distance between two sequential full stations)?
Curve connects three tangents having an azimuth of 254°, 270° and 270° respectively. The length of chord is 310 m long measured from PC to PT of the curve and is parallel to the common tangent having an azimuth of 270° if the stationing of PT is 6 + 720. Determine the total length of curve, stations of Common Tangent and PC.
3 Horizontal curves You are asked to design a 5-degree horizontal curve with an intersection angle at the center equals 60°15'. The station of point of curvature is 155 + 26.5 ft. Calculate the following: A. Length of the curve B. Station of the point of tangency (PT) C. For first two whole stations next to PC, calculate the degree of deflection from the PC and chord length from the previous point along the horizontal curve.
