First Semester AY 2024-2025

PROBLEM SET #1

Name: _________________________________________________________ Section:_____________________ Date:_____________________

Instructions: Solve the following problems with complete solutions. Box your final answer.

1. Given the lines and direction as follows: AB = 57.6m due East, BC = 91.5m N68°E, CD = 102.6m azimuth of
312°. 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.

2. The chord length from PC to the PT of the reversed curve is equal to 120m. Two parallel tangents 10m
apart are connected by a curve.

a. Compute the stationing of the PRC if the stationing at A at the beginning of the tangent with common
direction is 3+420.
b. Compute the length of the tangent with common direction.
c. Determine the equal radius of the reversed curve.

3. The common tangent CD of a reversed curve is 280.50m and has an azimuth of 312°29’. BC is a tangent of
the first curve whose azimuth is 252°45’. DE is a tangent of the second curve whose azimuth is 218°13’. The
radius of the first curve is 180m. PI, is at station 16+523.37. B is at PC and E is at PT. What is the stationing of
PI2?

4. Two tangents converge at an angle of 30 degrees. The second tangent is 120-m from PC and is due East. The
bearing of the common tangent is S 50 E. Compute the length of the common radius.

5. The perpendicular distance between two parallel tangents is equal to 8 maters. These tangents are
connected by a reversed curvature such that the central angle is 8° and the radius of the curvature of the first
curve is equal to 175m. Find the radius of the second curve of the reversed curvature.
