Problem 5(12 pts)
a) Design a horizontal curve with a central angle of 50 degrees and a degree of curve of 5
degrees. Assuming a PI station of 213+00.75. Determine the stations of the PC and PT.(2
pts)
b) Provide the total deflection angles and the total chords to the first and second whole
points on the curve and to the PT.(4 pts)
c) Assuming a right deflection angle and an azimuth of the PCPI line of 40 degrees. Given
x and Y state plane coordinates of 45,000 and 35,000 for the PC, determine the
coordinates of the second whole station on the curve. (2 pts)
d) Assume a 4-lane highway with 12-ft lanes, a normal crown rate of 2.5%, a travel speed of
45mph and a superelevation rate of 4%, compute the lengths of superelevation runoff
and tangent runout necessary to achieve full superelevation on the curve. (2 pts)
e) Provide the plot (station and elevation above the centerline) of the transition sections to
full super-elevation on the centerline curve (2 pts).
