Reversed Curve - Romero

This document contains 5 geometry problems involving reversed curves and parallel tangents. Problem 1 asks to determine the radius of a second curve given information about the first curve's radius and deflection angles. Problem 2 involves finding the length of a common tangent and radius of a reversed curve given the chord length and tangent spacing. Problem 3 asks for calculations related to a reversed curve with known radius and horizontal distance between points. Problems 4 and 5 involve similar calculations to Problems 2 and 3 for reversed curves connecting parallel tangents.

Problem #1: A reverse curve, the first PI is at 33+50.15 with a 75°20'00"L deflection
angle and second PI is at 40+16.70 with a 83°50'00"R deflection angle. The first
curve has a 375.00' radius. Determine the radius of the second curve.
Problem #2:
The parallel tangents of a reversed curve are 12m apart. The chord length from
the PC to the PT is 150m.
a. Length of the Common Tangent
b. Determine the equal radius of the reversed curve.
C Determine PC, PRC and PT if station A at the beginning of the tangent with
common direction is 3 + 420.
Problem #3:
A reversed curve connects two parallel tangents which are directed due east
and are 180m aoart. The curve has equal radius of 790m where the PC is on the
upper tangent and the PT lies on the lower tangent. If the horizontal distance
parallel to the tangent from the PC to the PT is 820m, compute the following:

a. The length of the intermediate tangent between the curves.


b. The distance between the centers of the reversed curves.
c. Station PT if sta PC is 10+020.40.
Problem #4
Two parallel tangents 10 m apart are connected by a reversed curve. The chord
length from P.C to the P.T equals 120m.
a. The length of the tangent with common direction
b. The equal radius of the reversed curve.
c. The staioning at the PRC if the stationing of A at the beginning of the tangent
with common direction is 3+420.
Problem #5
Given the lines and direction as follows: AB = 57.6 m due east, BC = 91.5m N 68
deg E, CD = 102.6 m azimuth of 312 deg. A reversed curve is to connect these
three lines thus forming the center line of a new road. Compute the length of
the common radius of the reversed curve.
