Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Design a compound curve for a road that connects two straight roadways with the first segment having a radius of 500m and a deflection angle of 40°, and the second segment with a radius of 700m and a deflection angle of 50°. Calculate the necessary tangent lengths and total curves.
💡 Hint: Calculate each part one at a time, ensuring angles are correctly input.
Question 2
If an engineer has to adjust the curvature due to terrain, how might the calculations change? Discuss what parameters might be affected.
💡 Hint: Think of how terrain affects road construction.
