    1. A simple curve is a circular arc extending between two tangent lines. It has elements including the point of curvature, point of tangency, point of intersection, radius, degree of curve, tangent distance, angle of intersection, external distance, middle ordinate, length of curve, and length of chord. 2. Formulas are provided to calculate the degree of curve, length of curve, tangent distance, external distance, middle ordinate, and length of chord based on the radius and other curve elements. 3. Examples are worked through to calculate the external distance, middle ordinate, stationing of a point on curve, length of chord, degree of curve, and length of chord given the radius or

    Simple Curve
    • A simple curve is a circular arc, extending from one tangent to
    the next

     A tangent line intersects a


    circle at exactly one point
    and is perpendicular to a
    circle radius
