Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are tasked with setting up a curve with a total length of 1000 m, a radius of 200 m, and a deflection angle of 45 degrees. Calculate the total number of pegs required and their respective chainages.
💡 Hint: Use both the radius and deflection angle to find necessary lengths.
Design a survey that involves calculating peg intervals when given a complex curve with varying radii at distinct chainages. Demonstrate all calculations.
💡 Hint: Utilize formulas for each section of the survey to create an effective plan.
