Curve 3

This document describes Rankine's method for determining tangential angles (deflection angles) in the design of circular curves for roads. It involves: 1) Dividing the full curve into shorter sub-chords and calculating the deflection angle for each sub-chord based on its length and the radius of curvature. 2) The total deflection angle is calculated by summing the individual deflection angles along the curve. 3) Formulas are provided to calculate the deflection angle for each sub-chord based on its length, the radius of curvature, and the degree of the curve.

T1A1 = T1A = Initial Sub chord = C1
Similarly, AB = C2 ; BD= C3
T1V = Rear Tangent
D2
V <A1T1A = δ = Deflection angle ( 1st Chord)
B2 C3 O3 D
B1 A1A= O1(1 st Offset), B2B = O2, D2D = O3
C2 O2
C3 Now, Arc A1A= O1 = T1A x δ
A1 O1 B

C1 A R Since T1V is Tangent to Circle at T1
A′ C1
δ < T1OA = 2 < A1T1A = 2δ
T1 D D

T1A = C1 = R . 2 δ : So, δ = C1/2R
R
Again, A1A = O1 = T1A. δ = C1 δ = C1 x C1/ 2R

O1 = C12 / 2R
Similarly, O2 = C2(C1+C2)/2R)

O = C (C + C )/2R
RANKINE’S METHOD OF TANGENTIAL

T1V = Rear Tangent, T1 = Pt of Curvature
δ1, δ2, δ3 = Tangential Angle with successive

i V
= ∆1, ∆2, ∆3 = Total Tangential (Deflection)
∆ Angle
∆3
C1, C2, C3 = Length of the Chords
A1A = Tangent of Curve at A
δ3 C
From properties of Circle
∆2 B
δ2 <VT1A = ½ <T1OA
<T1OA = 2δ1 = (180 x C1)/ (πR)

δ1 =∆2

δ1=(90 x 60 C1)/ (πR) min = 1718.9 C1/ R min

Similarly,
T1 2δ2 2δ3 δ2= 1718.9 C2/ R min, δ3= 1718.9 C3/ R min
2δ1
In General, δ= 1718.9 C/R minutes
R ∆1= δ1, ∆2= δ1+ δ2, ∆3= δ1 +δ2+ δ3

O ∆1= δ1, ∆2= ∆1 + δ2, ∆3= ∆2 + δ3


In General, ∆n= ∆n-1 +δn
Check Deflection Angle of Long Chord = ∆/2,
RANKINE’S METHOD ( CONTENUE)

Let c1 and cn to be 1st and last sub chord and c to be all full chord.
D° be the Deg of Curve.
So δ1 and δn will be separate but 2δ2 =2δ3 =2δ4 up to δn-1 and will be
equal to D°
So, δ2 =δ3 =δ4 up to δn-1= D/2
From Properties of Circle, 20 m / D = 2δ/c (or 100 ft / D = 2δ/c)
δ = cD/40 for SI unit ( Or cD /200 for British system )
δ1 = c1D/40, δn = cnD/40 but δ2 to δn-1 = D/2

Δ1= δ1 = c1D/40
Δ2= Δ1+ δ2= c1D/40 + D/2, Δ3= Δ2+ δ3 = c1D/40 + D
Similarly, Δn-1= c1D/40 + (n-2)D/2
Δn= Δn-1+ δn = c1D/40 + (n-2)D/2+ cnD/40
