    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).

    Elements of compound curve
    PC = point of curvature
    PT = point of tangency
    PI = point of intersection
    PCC = point of compound curve
    T1 = length of tangent of the first curve
    T2 = length of tangent of the second
    curve
    V1 = vertex of the first curve
    V2 = vertex of the second curve
    COMPOUND CURVES
    I1 = central angle of the first curve
    I2 = central angle of the second curve
    I = angle of intersection = I1 + I2
    Lc1 = length of first curve
    Lc2 = length of second curve
    L1 = length of first chord
    L2 = length of second chord
    L = length of long chord from PC to PT
    COMPOUND CURVES
    T1 + T2 = length of common tangent
    measured from V1 to V2
    θ = 180° - I
    x and y can be found from triangle V1-V2-
    PI.
    L can be found from triangle PC-PCC-PT

    Finding the stationing of PT


    Given the stationing of PC
    Sta PT=Sta PC+Lc1+Lc2Sta PT=Sta
    PC+Lc1+Lc2
    Given the stationing of PI
    Sta PT=Sta PI−x−T1+Lc1+Lc2
    COMPOUND CURVES
    SAMPLE PROBLEMS:

    1. A Compound curve has a tangent 520


    m long. The first curve passing through
    the P.C. is a 3-degree curve with a central
    angle of 50 degrees. Find the length of
    the second curve if its central angle is35
    degrees.
    COMPOUND CURVES
    SAMPLE PROBLEMS:

    2. The long chord of a compound curve is


    equal to 250 meters and the angles it
    makes with the tangents equal to 8
    degrees and 10 degrees, respectively. Find
    the radi, R1 and R2 when the common
    tangent is parallel to the long chord.
    COMPOUND CURVES
    seatwork:

    1. The common tangent AB of a


    compound curve is 82.38 m. the angles
    the common tangent makes with the
    tangents through PC and PT of the
    compound curve are 21˚10' and 15˚20‘,
    respectively. If the degree of the first
    curve is 3˚30‘, what is the degree of the
    second curve?
    COMPOUND CURVES
    seatwork:

    1. A compound curve has a common


    tangent 84.5 m. long which makes an
    angle of 16˚ and 20˚ with the tangents of
    the first and the second curves
    respectively. If the length of the tangent
    of the first curve is 38.6 m, compute the
    radius of the second curve.
