1. The common tangent AB of a compound curve makes an angle with the tangents of the compound curve of 26° and 46° respectively. The stationing of V is 12+443.36. The degree of the first and second curve are 6° and 3° respectively. It is desired to substitute a simple curve that shall be tangent on the two tangent lines as well as the common tangent. Determine the following: a) Radius of the simple curve b) stationing of new PC c) stationing of new PT

1. The common tangent AB of a compound curve makes an angle with the tangents of the
compound curve of 26° and 46° respectively.
The stationing of V is 12+443.36. The degree of the first and second curve are 6° and 3°
respectively. It is desired to substitute a
simple curve that shall be tangent on the two tangent lines as well as the common tangent.
Determine the following:
a) Radius of the simple curve
b) stationing of new PC
c) stationing of new PT
