Assignment No. 2
Horizontal Curves – Compound Curve
Computations:
1. The long chord from the PC to PT of a 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
tangent is parallel to the long chord.
a. Find the radius of the first curve
b. Find the radius of the second curve
c. If stationing of PC is to 10 + 204.30, find the stationing of PT
2. Given a compound curve with a long chord equal to 135 m forming an angle of 12° and
18° respectively with the tangents. The common tangent is parallel to the long chord.
Determine the radii of the compound curve.
3. 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 VB was measured
to be 247°50’ and 282°50’, respectively. The stationing at A is 10 + 010.46 and the
degree of the first curve is 4° based on the 20m chord. Use the chord basis.
a. Compute the stationing of PCC
b. Compute the radius of the second curve
c. Compute the stationing of the PT
4. Two tangents that intersect at an angle of 44°36’ are to be connected by a compound
curve. The tangent at the beginning of the curve at the PC is 125.70 m long and that at the
PT is 155.6 m long. The degree of curve of the first curve on the PC is 4°.
a. Compute for the radius of the second curve
b. Compute the central angle of the 2nd curve
c. Compute the central angle of the first curve
5. A turn around pattern which fits with the topography is provided in a highway by
connecting four tangents with a compound curve consisting of three simple curves. The
azimuths of the tangent’s lines are AB = 220°15’, BC =264°30’, CD = 320°24’ and DE =
32°58’. The radius of the last curve is four times sharper than the first curve. The distance
BC = 303 m and CD = 200 m.
a. Compute the radius of the 3rd curve
b. Compute the radius of the second curve
c. If PC is at 12 + 152.60, what is the stationing of the PT

the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
