    Example: Horizontal Circular Curve Route Stationing
    Given: PI = 64+32.20
    Preliminary - series of tangents ϖ deflections
    I = 24°20’ (Defl ∠) = 24.3333° @PI’s
    Da = 4°00’ (Selected) Final - series of tangents and curves - total
    (100’ arc for 4° ∠ Change) traverse length shortened due to insertion
    of curves
    Find: R, L, T, LC, E, M, PC, PT

    Route Stationing Horizontal Curves


    From example: Curve Layout Methods
    Radial - set up at center of curve (arc) &
    swing radius through deflection angle
    *not possible / practical on large radius
    curves
    Chord - deflection
    Incremental chord (Transit, theodolite,
    PTOLD = PI + T = 6432.20 + 308.82 = 67+41.02 tape) Sec24-7; Fig 24-5
    PTNEW = 67+31.71 Total chord (Total Station) Sec 24-10
    DIFF = 9.31’ (shortening of traverse-subtract from
    station of next tangent point)
