Assignment No 2. Compound and Reverse Curve

Direction: Solve the following problems. One problem per page only.
Compound Curves
1. The common tangent AB of a compound curve is 76.42 m with an azimuth of 268°30", The vertex V being inaccessible. The azimuth of
the tangents AV and VBwas measured to be 247°50° and 282°50, respectively. If the stationing of A is 43+010.46 and the degree of the
first curve was fixed at 4° based on the 20m chord. Using chord basis.
a) Determine the stationing of the P.C
b) Determine the stationing of P.C.C
c) Determine the stationing of P.T
2. The long chord from the P. C. to the P.T of the compound curve is 300 meters long and the angles it makes with the longer and shorter
tangents are 12° and 15° respectively. If the common tangents is parallel to the long chord.
a) Find the radius of the first curve
b Fine the radius of the 2nd curve
c) If the stationing of P.C. is 10 +204.30. Find the stationing of P.T.
3. Aturn around pattern which fits with the topography is provided in ahighway by connecting four tangents with acompound curve
consisting of three simple curves. The azimuths of AB-220°15', BC= 264°30, CD=320°24', and DE=32°58'. The radius of the last curve
is four times sharper that the first curve. The distance BC=303m and CD-200 m
a Compute the radius of the 3rd curve
b Compute the radius of the second curve
IfPCis at 12+152.60, what is the stationing of the P.T
4. The common tangent AB ofacompound curve is 76.42 mwith an azimuth of 268°30. The vertex Vbeing inacessible. The azimuth of
the tangents AV and VB was measured to be 247°50` and 282°50° respectively. The stationing at Ais l0+010.46 and the degree of the first
curve is 4° based on the 20 m chord. USe chord basis.
a) Compute the stationing of P.C.C
b Compute the radius of the second curve
Compute the stationing of the P.T.
5.Two tangents intersect at station 26+050. Acompound curve laid on their tangents has the following data: I_l=31°, I2-36°, D_1=3°,
D 2=5°.
a Compute the stationing of the PC
b) Compute the stationing of the PT
If the P.T. is moved 15 mout from the center, compute the stationing of the new P.T. with P.C.C. remaining unchanged.
Reversed Curves
1. Two paralleltangents 10 mapart are connected by areverse curve. The chord length from the P.C. to the P.T. cquals 120m.
a Compute the length of tangents with the common direction
b Determine the equal radius of the reversed curve
c) Compute the stationing of P.R.C. if the stationing of A at the beginning of the tangent with common direction is 3+420.
2. In arail road layout, the center line of two parallel tracks are conncctcd with a reversed curve of unequal radi. The central angle of the
first curve is 16° and the distance between parallel tracks is 27.60m. stationing of P.C. is 15+420 and the radius of the second curve is 290
m
a) Compute the length of the long chord from the P.C. to P.T.
b Compute the radius of the first curve.
c) Compute the stationing of the P.T.
3. Two tangents converge at an angle of 30°. The direction of the second tangent is due east. The distance of the P.C. from the second
tangent is l16.50 m. The bearing of the common tangent is l66.50. The bearing of he common tangent is S 40° E.
a) Compute the central angle of the first curve.
b If areversed curve is toconnect these two tangents, determine the common radius of the curve
