Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

During the construction of a new bypass, engineers must set out a circular curve with a radius of 60 meters. If the angle subtended at the center is 60 degrees, calculate the total offset using the versine method.

💡 Hint: Double-check your angle conversion:

Question 2

A road engineer encounters rocky terrain, making traditional curve setting challenging. By applying the successive bisection of arcs method and starting with a straight section of 80 meters, demonstrate the steps involved in laying out the curve.

💡 Hint: Remember how precise measurements dictate the final angle and curve arrangement.
