ELEMENTS OF A REVERSE CURVE

Two tangents 10 m apart are connected by a reversed curve. The chord length from the PC to the PT is 120 m.

• Compute the length of tangent with common direction

• Compute the equal radius of the reversed curve

• Compute the stationing of PRC if the stationing of A at the beginning of the tangent with common direction is 3+420.

In a railroad layout, the centerline of two parallel tracks are connected with a reversed curve of unequal radii. The central angle
of the rst curve is 16 degrees and the distance between the parallel tracks is 27.60 m. The stationing of the PC is 15+420 and
the radius of the second curve is 290 m.

• Compute the length of the long chord from PC to PT.

• Compute the radius of the rst curve.

• Compute the stationing of PT.

A reversed curve with diverging tangents is to pass through three lines to form a center line of a proposed road. The rst line
AB has a bearing of N 88 E and a distance of 120 m, BC has a bearing of N 26 E, and a distance of 340 m while that of CD has
a bearing of S 40 E and a distance of 300 m. If the rst tangent has a distance of only 1/4 that of the common tangent
measured from the point of intersection of the rst curve.

• Compute the radius of the rst curve.

• Compute the radius of the second curve.

• Compute the stationing of the PT if PC is at station 12+340.
