Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A highway curve has a radius of 750 m and a deflection angle of 15°. Calculate the tangent lengths, circular length, and provide chainages if the intersection point is at 2000 m.
💡 Hint: Make sure to check your angle conversion!
If a road with a 900 m radius curve is being redesigned with a deflection angle of 18°, calculate all necessary data required for setting it out properly.
💡 Hint: Follow step-by-step for clarity!
