Design a curve for the highway by computing the radius

Reference no: EM13562679

A horizontal curve is being designed for a new two-lane highway(12-ft lanes). The PI is at station 250 + 50, the design speed is 65 mi/h, and a maximum superelevation of 0.07 ft/ft is to be used. If the central angle of the curve is 38 degrees, design a curve for the highway by computing the radius and stationing of the PC and PT.
