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.

purses / OID 310 674_GMT151_1 / 19 April - 25 April / MID-TERM EXAM Which one is wrong about traversing? O a. In closed polygon traverse both starting and terminating points of the traverse coincide with each other. O b. The intervisibility between adjacent stations, forward and back, must be maintained for angle and distance measurements. Oc Open traverses are strong in terms of eliminating errors and mistakes. O d. Interior angle traverses must be turned clockwise from the backsight site to the foresight site to reduce mistakes. e. A Traverse may be of two types: Open Traverse and Closed Traverse Next page
