Two tangents intersecting at V whose Stationing is at 1+027.32 has the angle of Intersection of 26o12’. It is to be connected with a 4 curve based on the arc basis. Without changing the directions of the two tangents, it is required to shorten the curve to 100 m. starting from the same P.C. By how much shall the P.T. be moved and what is the distance between the two parallel tangents? What is the stationing of the new point of tangency?
A simple horizontal curve has 35 degrees of curvature and subtends an angle of 110 degrees. If the PC is at station 3 + 65.00 ft, what is the intermediate chord length (ft) (i.e. the straight line distance between two sequential full stations)? Response Feedback: 8 C =2Rsin- D 2
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.
B- Unequal-Tangent Parabolic (Vertical) Curve: Example: A grade gl of -2% intersects g2 of +1.6% at a vertex whose station and elevation are 87+00 and 743.24, respectively. A 400 vertical curve is to be extended back from the vertex, and a 600' vertical curve forward to closely fit ground conditions. Compute and tabulate the curve for stakeout at full stations. Stations 00 00 00 00 EVC (752.84) BVC (751.24) A CVC (748.04) (747.24) (747.56) -2.00% 400 +1.60% V(743.24) >とじ。 Solution: The CVC is defined as a point of Compound Vertical Curvature. We can determine the station and elevation of points A and B by reducing this unequal tangent problem to two equal tangent problems. Point A is located 200' from the BVC and Point B is located 300' from the EVC. Knowing this we can compute the elevation of points A and B. Once A and B are known we can compute the grade from A to B thus allowing us to solve this problem as two equal tangent curves. Point A STA 85+00: Elev. = 743.24+2 (2) = 747.24'…
