1. The angle of intersection of a circular curve is 36°30'. Prepare the lay-out data for the curve using
deflection angles if the external distance is 12.02 m. and the P.I. is at station 75 + 040.00. The curve
should start and end with sub-arcs and the distance between stations is 20.00 m.
2. A circular curve has an angle of intersection equal to 30o and radius equal to 30meters. Stationing of PC
is at 0+000. Lay out the curve using deflection angles at every 5-meter stationing. Use arc basis.

5. The lengths of chords from PC to PCC and that of the PCC to PT of a compound curve are equal to
78.6 m and 48.2 m respectively. The common tangent of the compound curve makes an angle of 14°
and 20°, respectively with the tangents of the compound curve. Compute the length of the long chord
