2. Examples of Curves
In construction surveying, curves have to be set out on the ground for a variety of purposes:
1. Curve may form the major part of a roadway,
2. Curve may form a kerb line at a junction, or3. Curve may form the shape of an ornamental
rose bed in a town centre.

5. Designation of CurvesIn UK, curves are designated by the length of the
radius.The radius is usually in multiples of 50 m.
Curves can also be designated by the degrees subtended at the centre by an arc 100 m long.The Degree of Curvature is given as a No. of whole
degrees.The Degree of Curvature may be measured in Degrees
or Radians.

6.1- Small Radius Curves• Method 1: Finding the Centre.
In Fig. 12.10, kerbs have to be laid at the roadway junction.
Consider the right-hand curve. The deviation angle α is measured from the plan
and the tangent lengths I T1 and I T2 (= R tan α/2) calculated.
The procedure for setting the curve is then as follows: -------

Procedure for setting out:
1. From I, measure back along the straights the distance I T1 and I T2.
2. Hammer in pegs at those points & mark the exact positions of T1 and T2 by nails.
3. Hook a steel tape over each nail and mark the centre O at the point where the tapes intersect when reading R. Hammer in a peg and mark the centre exactly with a nail.
24
![Page 25: 15. Horizontal Curve Ranging.r1 Student (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013103/55cf9499550346f57ba31a2c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Procedure for setting out:
4. Any point on the curve is established by hooking the tape over the peg O and swinging the radius.
This method is widely used where the radius of curvature is less than 30 m.

![Page 26: 15. Horizontal Curve Ranging.r1 Student (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013103/55cf9499550346f57ba31a2c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
*Curve Composition*
In setting out large radius curves, or in some cases small radius curves, pegs are set at regular intervals around the curve.
The interval is commonly 10 or 20 m & is measured as a RUNNING CHAINAGE, from the zero chainage point (CH 0 m) of the road system.
26
![Page 27: 15. Horizontal Curve Ranging.r1 Student (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013103/55cf9499550346f57ba31a2c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Curve Composition
It would be very unlikely that either tangent point of the curve would coincide with a chainage which is at an exact tape length!
So what shall we do then ?
Refer to Fig. 12.14.27

• The last peg on the straight, measured at 20 m intervals from A, occurs at CH 120 m.
• So the 1st peg on the curve, at CH 140 m, lies at a distance of:
140 (-) 126 = 14 m from tangent point T1 . This short chord is called the initial sub-
chord.30
![Page 31: 15. Horizontal Curve Ranging.r1 Student (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013103/55cf9499550346f57ba31a2c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

• Thereafter, pegs are placed at standard chord intervals of 20 m occur at CH 160, 180 & 200 m.
• The final tangent point T2 is reached at 216.757 m; So the final chord is:
216.757 (-) 200.000 = 16.757 m This short chord is called the final sub-
chord. 31

Fig. 12.14: Summary
• Summarizing, the chord composition is derived as follows:
1) Chainage T1
2) CH at 1st peg on curve 3) So initial sub-chord4) CH at last peg on curve 5) So No. of standard chords 6) Chainage T2 7) So final sub-chord

Fig. 12.14: Summary
• In setting out large radius curve, the chords must be almost equal to the arcs that they subtend.
• An accuracy of about 1 part in 10,000 is obtainable, provided the chord length does not exceed 1/20th of the length of the radius, i.e.
< R/20. 33
![Page 34: 15. Horizontal Curve Ranging.r1 Student (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013103/55cf9499550346f57ba31a2c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Method of Setting out Large Radius Curve
Method 2 (a)- Setting by Tangential Angles:
This is the common method of setting out large
radius curves when accuracy is required.
It uses tape and theodolite.
In Fig. 12.15, the tangent point T1 at the
beginning of the curve has been established.
34
![Page 35: 15. Horizontal Curve Ranging.r1 Student (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013103/55cf9499550346f57ba31a2c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Setting by Tangential Angles…
BC and CD are equal standard chords, c2 and c3
chosen such that their length is < R/20.
TB is the Initial Sub-Chord, c1 is shorter than c2 &
c3 because the CH of T1 is irregular.
c4 is the Final Sub-Chord & is shorter than c2 & c3
too. 35
![Page 36: 15. Horizontal Curve Ranging.r1 Student (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013103/55cf9499550346f57ba31a2c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Setting by Tangential Angles:
• Tangential Angles: In Fig. 12.15, angles α1, α2, α3 & α4 are the angles
by which the curve deflects to the right or left. They are the tangential angles which are also
known as chord angles or deflection angles. They are more commonly known as the
Deflection Angles. Their values must be calculated in order to set
out the curve.36
![Page 37: 15. Horizontal Curve Ranging.r1 Student (1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013103/55cf9499550346f57ba31a2c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Calculation of Deflection Angles
• In Fig. 12.15 (a), angle IT1B is the angle between T1I
& chord T1B.
• Angle T1OB is the angle at the centre subtended by
chord T1B.
So angle IT1B = ½ angle T1OB = α1

Refer to Fig. 12.15(b):
• OX is the perpendicular bisector of chord T1B.
• So, angle T1OX = angle XOB = α1
• In triangle T1OX,
sin T1OX = T1X / T1O
= {c1 / 2} / R
= c1 / 2R40

Refer to Fig. 12.15(b)…..
• The value of any deflection angle (α1, α2, α3 &
α4) can similarly be found & the formula can
be written in general terms as:
sin α = c/2R ……(1)

Eg. 9 (setting by tangential angles):
1. Two straights AI and IB have bearings of 80° & 110° respectively.
2. They are to be joined by a circular curve of 300 m radius.
3. The chainage of intersection point I is 872.485 m (Fig. 12.16)
4. Calculate the data for setting out the curve by 20 m standard chords.
