1. (Simple Curve) Refer to problem Example 15.6 (textbook Garber and Hoel) and re-do with the
following changes to the given information:
(a) Intersectional angle for 1 station = 3
degrees
(b) Sta of PC is 800+25.58
60 deg.
(c) Inscribed angle for entire curve is
800+25.58
60 degrees
50%
25% L
75%
PC
PT
Calculate length of curve. Determine the
stations at 25% Lc, 50% Lc, 75% Le (L, is length
of the curve) then calculate the chords and
deflection angles at these points; show all your
solution then summarize the results into a
tabulation. Calculate also the following: Middle
Ordinate and External Distance. Determine stationing of PT.
2. (Compound Curve) Refer to problem
Example 15.7 (textbook Garber and Hoel) and re-
do with the following changes to the given
information:
PC
(a) The two simple curves are joined at
Sta. 238 + 80
(b) First curve: R1 = 550' & A¡=40deg
(c) Second curve: R2 = 450' & A2=25deg
R.R radii of simple curves forming compound curve
A.4, - intersection angles of simple curves
A- intersection angle of compound curve
1.t - tangent lengths of simple curves
T,T; = tangent lengths of compound curve
PCC = point of compound curve
PI = point of intersection
PC - point of curve
PT - point of tangent
Calculate the individual length of curves.
Determine stationing of PC and PT. At each
curve's mid-length, compute the deflection angle
and chord length.
