Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given two straights with a meeting point at a chainage of 1500m and a deflection angle of 45°, calculate the required radius for a designed curve and report the tangent lengths as well.
💡 Hint: Apply both formulas sequentially for clarity.
A circular curve needs to connect a point of intersection at 2000m. If the radius is set to 100m and the deflection is 90°, calculate both your tangent lengths and the overall chainage for endpoints.
💡 Hint: Map your solutions stepwise and ensure units are consistent.
