Curve - Horizontal
The Curve Solution screen provides detailed information on a curve
when two parts of the curve are known.
The first known part of the curve is defined by one of the
following:
•
5DGLXV
: is the distance from the radius point to the
curve.
•
'HOWD
: is the deflection angle.
•
'HJUHH $UF
: is the deflection angle that results in a
100-ft. arc length.
•
'HJUHH &KRUG
: is the deflection angle that results in
a 100-ft. chord length.
The second known part of the curve is defined by one of
the following:
•
'HOWD
: is the deflection angle.
•
/HQJWK
: is the arc length.
•
&KRUG
: is the chord length.
•
7DQJHQW
: is the distance from the PC or PT to the PI.
•
0LG 2UGLQDWH
: is the distance between the curve and the chord at
the center of the curve’s length.
•
([WHUQDO
: The minimum distance between the PI and the curve.
6ROYH
: Computes the details for the horizontal curve.

: Accesses the Horizontal Curve Layout
screen (Page R-189)
where points can be created so the curve can be staked in the field.
