Question
The first curve of the compound curve is laid out from PC
which is located at 10+432.25 and meets another curve
located at 10+912.25, the end of the compound curve is
situated at 11+162.25, the central angle of the two curves
was found to be 36° and 68°45' respectively.
a) Determine the length of the common tangent
b) Determine the length of the long chord
c) Determine the TL of the compound curve
d) Determine the TR of the compound curve
(NOTE: TL = back tangent of the whole compound curve,
TR = forward tangent of the
%3D
whole compound curve)
