Question

A compound curve is laid out 480 m. from the

P.C. to the P.C.C. having a radius of 763.94 m then from the P.C.C another curve was laid out to the P.T. 250 m long with a radius of 208.85 m. If the stationing of the point of intersection of the tangents is 10 + 432.25.

 

a. Determine the stationing of the P.C

b. Determine the length of the long chord from the P.C. to the P.T.

c. Determine the angle that the long chord makes with the tangent
