Question 1
What does the term 'offset' refer to in curve setting?
- A line drawn perpendicular to the tangent
- Distance from tangent to the curve
- Half the length of the chord
💡 Hint: Imagine where the curve bends away from the straight line.
Question 2

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A curve needs to connect two roads with a width of 10m. If the radius of the main curve is 100m and the offsets required are continuous, derive the offsets based on three chord lengths.
💡 Hint: Link the geometry of the setup to your calculations for accuracy.
Question 2
You are designing a roadway and the curve intersects a residential area. How do you ensure the offsets are safe for vehicles while complying with design standards?
💡 Hint: Think about vehicle safety and comfort.
