Two straight lines that intersect with a deflection angle of 914500 are to be connected by two transition curves and a circular curve. The most suitable radius must be selected using a centrifugal ratio of 0.21. The chainage at the intersection point, I, is 10267.352 m. The transition curves are to be designed for a maximum speed of 70 km/h with a road super elevation of 43000 and the rate of change of radial acceleration is not to exceed 0.3 m/s3, therefore consider comfort and traction/superelevation. Design all transition and circular curves, and calculate the setting out data for use with a tape and theodolite for both transitions and circular curves. All chord lengths are to be 9m. For the field work prework calculations you must calculate:(i) Length of the transition curves(ii) Shift(iii) Tangent length and the chainage at both tangent points(iv) Angle subtended by the circular curve(v) Length of the circular curve(vi) Back angle to the starting point(vii) Deflection angles for both transition curves using 9m chord from the start of T and U. Last chord to start of circular curve is adjusted to LT.(viii) Deflection angles for setting out the circular curve
