Laboratory Work # 1-M

Problem Solving: Show your complete solutions. Provide graphs, detailed drawings if needed.

1. Two tangents intersect an angle of 28°30’ at the point of intersection whose stationing is 10 + 362.40.
If the external distance were increased by 6m.
a. Compute the new external distance.
b. Compute the new bearing of second tangent line with the first tangent line remaining in the same
direction that the degree of curve does not change.
c. Compute the stationing of the new PT.
2. The tangent distance of a 3° simple curve is only ½ of its radius.
a. Compute the angle of intersection of the curve.
b. Compute the length of curve.
c. Compute the area of the fillet of the curve.
3. The perpendicular offset distance from point A on a simple curve to Q on the tangent line is 64m. If
the distance from P.C. to Q on the tangent is 260m.
a. Compute the length of the curve from P.C. to A.
b. Compute the radius of the simple curve.
c. If the angle of intersection of the curve is 64°, compute the length of the chord from P.C. to P.T.
4. Two tangents AB and BC intersects at an angle of 24°. A point P is located 21.03m from point B and
has a perpendicular distance of 2.79m from line AB.
a. Calculate the radius of the simple curve connecting the two tangents and passing point P.
b. Find the length of chord connecting P.C. and point P.
c. Compute the area bounded by the curve and the tangent lines.
5. A circular road having a curve of 8° curvature is to be 6m wide on the tangents and 6.75m wide
along the main part of the curve. The P.C. is at station 5 + 100 and widening is to be completed at
station 5 + 115.
a. Compute the stationing of P.C. of the approach curve at the inner edge.
b. Compute the radius of the approach curve at the inner edge.
c. Compute the degree of curve of the approach curve at the inner edge.
