Instructions for using curve calculations

To use: Enter the radius, deflection angle and PI Station. The remaining components of the curve will be calculated. Units will be meters or feet depending on the entered units of the radius. R = Radius T = Tangent Distance L = Length of the curve MO = Middle Ordinate LC = Long Chord E = External D = Deflection Angle PC = Point of Curvature PI = Point of Intersection PT = Point of Tangency
