Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a deflection angle of 70 degrees and a radius of 100 m, calculate the tangent length and length of the curve.
💡 Hint: Break down the deflection angle into half for your calculations.
If two tangent roads meet at a chainage of 1500 m with an angle of intersection of 90 degrees, find the chainages at the point of curve if radius is 40 m.
💡 Hint: Apply the same methods we practiced in class for consistent results.
