Basic Terminologies
Terminology is a systematic study for the implementation of the terms or words and their correspondence within their respective domain of human activity in the case of multilingual (more than 2) or bilingual (2) languages. Terminology is defined as the study of concepts, conceptual related phrases or expressions, and lexicography, on the other hand, is the discipline used to study any type of word and its meaning. Technical ventures and institutes create and gather their resources or word collection also known as a Glossary.
Common Units Of Pressure
Pressure is something that we experience in daily life but fail to recognize it as our body is so accustomed to it. For example, the atmospheric air applies pressure on our body, but we don’t feel it as we are exposed to it since birth and our body is habitual to it. When we write using a pen, we need to apply some pressure over the pen to make it start writing. But these are our day-to-day activity which we fail to recognize

Compound Curves
Elements of compound curve
• PC = point of curvature
%3D
• PT = point of tangency
%3D
• PI = point of intersection
• PCC = point of compound curve
%3D
T1 = length of tangent of the first curve
T2 = length of tangent of the second curve
V1 = vertex of the first curve
V2 = vertex of the second curve
I1 = central angle of the first curve
I2 = central angle of the second curve
• I = angle of intersection = I1 + I2
%3D
• L¢1 = length of first curve
Lc2 = length of second curve
L1 = length of first chord
%D
L2 = length of second chord
• L = length of long chord from PC to PT
%3D
T1 + T2 = length of common tangent
measured from Vị to V2
• 0 = 180° - I
x and y can be found from triangle V1-V2-
PI.
• L can be found from triangle PC-PCC-PT
Finding the stationing of PT
Given the stationing of PC
Sta PT = Sta PC + Le1 + Le2
Given the stationing of PI
Sta PT = Sta PI – x – T1 + Lc1 + Lc2
