Example Given: Design a reverse curve by distributing evenly (half and half) the straight distance between them. What are the new PC, PRC, and PT stations?
Example: Results - The (current) tangents \( \underline{\text { T1= } 274.83^{\prime}} \) and \( \underline{T 2}=256.08^{\prime} \) - \( \mathrm{PI} \) station for the first curve: \( \mathrm{PC} 1+\mathrm{T} 1=\underline{38+66.83} \) - Distribute the straight section: \( 550 / 2=275 \) for each tangent; that means \( \underline{T 1}_{\text {new }}=549.83^{\prime} \) and \( \underline{T} 2_{\text {new }}=531.08^{\prime} \) - Same deltas and new tangents: \( \underline{R 1_{n}} \) new \( =1500.46^{\prime} \) and \( \underline{R 2_{\text {new }}=1659.10^{\prime}} \) - Length of curve (L): \( \underline{\mathrm{L}}_{\text {new }}=1054.06^{\prime} \) and \( \underline{\mathrm{L}} \underline{n e w}_{\text {new }}=1027.96^{\prime} \) - Stations: \( \underline{P C=33+17 ;} P R C=43+71.06 ; P T=53+99.03 \)
