The forward and back tangents of a simple curve are S 73°30’ E and N 79° E respectively. The beginning of the curve is at 10+345.43. The degree of the curve is 4.5°. For some construction reasons, it was decided to decrease the central angle by altering the direction of the forward tangent by an angle of 7°, in such a way that the end of the curve at PT and direction of the back tangent shall remain unaltered. Determine the following elements: Radius of the old curve Tangent of the old curve

  1. The forward and back tangents of a simple curve are S 73°30’ E and N 79° E respectively. The beginning of the curve is at 10+345.43. The degree of the curve is 4.5°. For some construction reasons, it was decided to decrease the central angle by altering the direction of the forward tangent by an angle of 7°, in such a way that the end of the curve at PT and direction of the back tangent shall remain unaltered. Determine the following elements:
  2. Radius of the old curve
  3. Tangent of the old curve
  4. Radius of the new curve
  5. Tangent of the new curve
  6. Stationing of the new beginning of the curve
