In a rail road layout, the centerline of two parailel fracks are connected with a reversed curve of unequal radi, The central angle of the first curve is 16' and the distance between parallel tracks is 27.60 m. stationing of the P.C. is 15 + 420 and the radius of the second curve is 290 m.e O Compute the length of the long chord from the P.C. to P.T. Compute the radius of the first curve. O Compute the stationing of the P.T.
The angle between a 5-m full station of a certain curve is 10°. The curve has 7 intermediate stations between P.C. (10 + 300m) and P.T. After laying out the curve, it was found out that the P.T. falls in a property lot and it should be moved in a way that the P.T. will be free from crossing the lot. Compute all the necessary elements of the old curve and new relocated curve.
A horizontal curve is being designed for a new two-lane highway (12-ft lanes). The PC is at station 150+50, design speed is 55 mi/h, and a superelevation of 0.08 fuft is to be used. If the central angle of the curve is 40 degrees, design a curve for the highway by computing the minimum radius and stationing of the PI and PT??
