Question: III. The full data refers to a composite curve. The deflection angle ( ) between the straights is 5 0 2 0 ' while chainage

III. The full data refers to a composite curve. The deflection angle () between the straights is 5020' while chainage of the intersection point is 7000 feet. The maximum speed of the vehicle to traverse the curve is 70 miles/hour. The centrifugal ratio is taken as 1/4 while the max ratio of radial acceleration is 1.2feetsec. Compute the following parameters of the curve using the principles of composite curve.
(a) Radius of circular curve
(b) Length of transition curve
(c) The chainage of the beginning and end of transition curve and at the junctions of the transition curve with the circular curve.
III. The full data refers to a composite curve.
