Curve Solution

&XUYH &XUYH 6ROXWLRQ
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
•
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
•
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.
/D\RXW«
: Accesses the Horizontal Curve Layout screen (Page R-189)
where points can be created so the curve can be staked in the field.
7UDYHUVH«
: Accesses the Traverse on Curve screen (Page R-196).
R-184
or , Curve - Horizontal
: is the deflection angle that results in
: is the distance between the curve and the chord at
