Topic: Civil Engineering Surveying "Horizontal Curves (Reverse Curves)"

A reverse curve with diverging tangents is to be design to pass through three lines to form a center line of a proposed road. The first line AB has a bearing of N 88° E and a distance of 120 meters, BC has a bearing of N 62° E and a distance of 340 meters, while that of CD has a bearing of S 40° E and a distance of 230 meters. Compute the total length of the reverse curve from the PC to PT if the first tangent has a distance of 4 that of the common tangent measured from the point of intersection of the first curve.
