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.

Question

a) Calculate, R, the radius of this curve, T, the tangent distance, L, the length of the curve, M, the middle ordinate, E, the external distance, and the stations of the beginning of curve, A, and its end, B.

b) Calculate and tabulate all data required to lay out this curve in the field by the deflection angles and chords method. Stations are 100 ft apart.
