Situation 3] The bearing of the first tangent of a simple curve is N70.X°E while the second
tangent has a bearing of S82°3Z'E. The degree of curve is 4.5° and chainage of PC is 3+XY. It
is proposed to decrease the central angle by an angle of 7° by changing the direction of the
second tangent, in such a way that the position of PT and the direction of the first tangent shall
remain unchanged. Determine the following:
i.
New angle of intersection, I'.
ii.
New radius of the curve, R'.
ii.
New chainage of station PC.
Situation 4] Two tangents that intersect at an angle of 4X°40' are to be connected by a
compound curve consisting of a 4.1° curve and a 5.5° curve. If the tangent at the beginning of
the curve to the point of intersection of the tangent is 110 m long,
i.
