Compound Curves
A compound curve consists of two (or more) circular curves between two main tangents
joined at point of compound curve (PCC). Curve at PC is designated as 1 (R1, L1, T1, etc)
and curve at PT is designated as 2 (R2, L2, T2, etc).
PC = point of curvature
PT = point of tangency Finding the stationing of PT
PRC = point of reversed curvature
Given the stationing of PC
T1 = length of tangent of the first curve
T2 = length of tangent of the second curve Sta PT=Sta PC+Lc1+Lc2Sta PT=Sta
V1 = vertex of the first curve PC+Lc1+Lc2
V2 = vertex of the second curve
I1 = central angle of the first curve Given the stationing of V1
I2 = central angle of the second curve
Lc1 = length of first curve
Sta PT=Sta V1T1+Lc1+Lc2Sta
Lc2 = length of second curve PT=Sta V1T1+Lc1+Lc2
L1 = length of first chord
L2 = length of second chord
T1 + T2 = length of common tangent measured from V1 to V2
