SIMPLE CURVES
A simple curve is a circular arc, extending from one tangent
to the next.
V Where:
I
R – Radius of the Curve
T E T T – Subtangent Distance
L C – Length of Chord
𝑰 M L – Length of Curve
P.C. 𝟐 P.T. M – Middle Ordinate
C/2 I C/2 E – External Distance
𝑰 𝑰 I – Central Angle

The point where the curve leaves the first tangent is called
the “point of curvature” (P.C.) and the point where the curve
joins the second tangent is called the “point of tangency” (P.T.).
The P.C. and P.T. are often called the tangent points. If the
tangent be extended, they will meet in a point of intersection
(P.I.) called the “vertex” (V).
