CC a horizontal ccurve starts at STA(100+00.00) the PI is at STA(107+50.00). If the inclined aangel l is 36 degree where is PT Pleeasee help
The azimuth from north of the forward and backward tangents of a 4 degree curve is 260 degree and 280 degree, respectively. At the commencing of the construction, it was found out that the forward tangent is shifted inward and parallel to itself at a distance of 12m without changing the direction of the tangents with P.T. moved along the radius. If the P.T. is at 10 + 525.25, compute the: a. New tangent distance b. Radius pf the new curve c. Stationing of new P.I. and P.T.

CONNECT A FORWARD TANGENT OF 3% AND A BACK TANGENT OF-15% BY A 300 M SYMMETRICAL PARABOLIC CURVE. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE GRADE INTERSECTION AT STA 10+100 with ELEVATION 50 M FALLS ON ROCKY SECTION WITH THE EXPOSED BOULDER AT ELEVATION 102.67. TO AVOID ROCK EXCAVATION, IT WAS DECIDED TO ADJUST THE VERTICAL PARABOLIC CURVE THAT THE CURVE WILL JUST CLEAR THE ROCK WITHOUT ALTERING THE POSITION OF PC AND THE GRADE OF EACH TANGENTS. DETERMINE THE ELEVATION AND STA OF THE NEW PT.
