Compound curve pdf. It provides equations to calculate the seven elements (radii, tangents, deflection angles) of the curve given four known values. They are also used in the vertical plane at all changes of grade to avoid the abrupt change of grade at the apex. Curves are classified based on their radius Curves are regular bends provided in the lines of communication like roads, railways etc. Their centres lie on the same side of the curve. It is assumed that each of these lines is defined by the north and east coordinates of a point (PN1, PE1) and (PN2, PE2), and its north azimuth AZ1and AZ2. Compound Curves Compound Curve consists of two or more consecutive simple curves A transition or easement curve is a curve of a varying radius introduced between a straight and a circular curve, or between branches of a compound curve or reverse curve. Find the chainage of tangent points and the point of compound curvature given that the chainage of intersection point is 3415 m. 2) The second problem gives the angles between the common tangent and each curve tangent, along with chord lengths from PC to PCC and PCC The document discusses key concepts and terminologies related to simple and compound curves used in road and railway design. It defines simple curves as regular bends provided in lines of communication to gradually change direction. It defines 14 key elements of compound curves, including the points of curvature, tangency, and intersection, as well as the lengths of tangents, curves, and chords, central angles, vertices, and the angle of intersection.
