Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a radius of 75m for a curve and a deflection angle of 45 degrees, calculate both the tangent length and curve length. Then, if the chainage at PI is 1000 m, find the chainage at PC.
💡 Hint: Remember to work through each part of the problem step by step.
An engineer is setting up a curve with a given radius of 120 m. If the deflection angle changes to 60 degrees after adjustment, how does this affect the tangent length and necessary offset?
💡 Hint: Focus on how directly altering angle affects curve properties.
