The long chord from the point of curvature to the point of tangency of a compound curve is 485 meters long and the angle it makes with the longer and shorter tangents are 15 degrees and 30 degrees respectively. The station of Pl is 10+180. Solve for the ratio of the first tangent to the common tangent, which connects the two vertex, in percent.

Highway Surveys and Location

Surveying is an operation in the civil engineering domain that requires collecting and identifying data regarding an area of land and topography. The data that is collected can be helped to plan and undertake the construction process. Civil engineers perform surveys to gather three-dimensional information regarding a particular area. Engineers specify several points on the surface of the earth and relationship between points, and the distance and angles between the points are evaluated. The data from this evaluation guides in drawing plans regarding buildings and structures.
