Two tangents intersect at chainage 1190
m, the deflection angle being 360.
Calculate all the data necessary for
setting out a curve with a radius of 300
m by deflection angle method. The peg
interval is 30 m
The tangent length 300 x 0.324920 = 97.48 m.
The length of the curve
The chainage of the point of intersection = 1190.00 m
Subtract the tangent length = - 97.48 m
Chainage of the point of tangency T1 = 1092.52 m
Add the Jength of the curve = + 188.50m
Chainageof the point of tangency T2 = 1281.02m
The length of the first sub-chord 1092.52 m rounding to 10th value =1100- 1092.52 = 7.48 m
-
No. of normal chords == 188.50m 7.48=181.04/30=6.03466667, note :take the full number
and multiply the remaining by the pege interval that is 30*0.03466667=1.04m
The length of the last sub-chord = 1.04m
