Top Curves MCQ Objective Questions
Curves Question 1:
_________ is the beginning of the curve where the alignment changes from a tangent to a curve.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Curves Question 1 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
The starting point of the curve is called ‘point of curve’ or ‘point of commencement. Different points on simple curve are denoted in figure as shown.
T1 = point of curve (or) point of commencement (or) Tangent point
T2 = end of curve (or) point of tangency
B = Point of intersection
T1FT2 = Length of curve
OF = Radius of curve
T1T2 = Length of long chord
Curves Question 2:
If the angle made at centre by one chain length of 20 m is 15°, calculate the radius of curve in metres.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Curves Question 2 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Degree of curve is given by :
\(D = \frac{{1146}}{{R }}\) degree........For 20 m chain length
\({\rm{D}} = \frac{{1720}}{{\rm{R}}}{\rm{\;degree}}\),.........For 30 m chain length
Where,
D = Degree of the curve (degrees) and R = radius of the curve (m)
Calculation:
\(D = \frac{{1146}}{{R }}\)
∴\(R = \frac{{1146}}{{D^\circ }}\)
\(R = \frac{{1146}}{{15^\circ }} = 76.4\) metres
Curves Question 3:
Calculate the length (m) of tangent of a 5-degree curve, if the deflection angle is 60 degree.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Curves Question 3 Detailed Solution
The tangent length of a simple curve of radius R and deflection angle D is \(R \times \tan \left( {\frac{D}{2}} \right)\)
Tangent length VT = \(R \times \tan \left( {\frac{D}{2}} \right)\)
Radius of the curve \( = \frac{{1720}}{5} = 344\;m\)
Tangent length = \(344 \times \tan \left( {\frac{{60}}{2}} \right) = 198.6084\;m\)
Curves Question 4:
A simple circular curve of radius 600 m is to be set out on field. Calculate the value of versed sine for the curve if the deflection angle (Δ) = 120°.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Curves Question 4 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Versine of curve: The versine is the perpendicular distance of the midpoint of a chord from the arc of a circle.
where, M = Versine of curve, Δ = Deflection angle and R = Radius of curve
\(M = R \times (1 - Cos{\Delta\over 2})\)
Calculation:
Given: R = 600 m, Δ = 1200
\(M = 600 \times (1 - cos{120\over 2})=300m\)
Curves Question 5:

A. sin (Δ°/2)
B. cos (Δ°/2)
C. 2cos(Δ°/2)
D. 360° sin (Δ°/2)/Δπ
E. 360° cos (Δ°/2)/Δπ
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Curves Question 5 Detailed Solution
Concept:
For the given curve:
Tangent length \(\left( \text{T} \right)=\text{R}\tan \frac{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}{2}\)
Length of curve \(\left( \text{l} \right)=\frac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ R }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}{180}\)
Long chord \(\left( \text{L} \right)=2\text{R}\sin \frac{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}{2}\)
External distance \(\left( \text{E} \right)=\text{R}\left( \sec \frac{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}{2}\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ }-1 \right)\)
Mid-ordinate \(\left( \text{M} \right)=\text{R}\left( 1-\cos \frac{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}{2}\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ } \right)\)
The ratio of long chord to tangent length of a simple circular curve:
= \({2\text{R}\sin \frac{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}{2}}\over{\text{R}\tan \frac{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}{2}}\)= 2cos(Δ°/2)
The ratio of long chord to the length of simple circular curve:
= \({2\text{R}\sin \frac{\text{ }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}{2}}\over {\frac{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ R }\!\!\Delta\!\!\text{ }}{180}}\) = 360° sin (Δ°/2)/Δπ
Curves Question 6:
Which of the following methods are employed for setting out a circular curve?
A. Weisbach method
B. Two theodolite method
C. Tacheometric method
D. Rankine’s method of tangential anglesAnswer (Detailed Solution Below)
Curves Question 6 Detailed Solution
Locating various points along the length of the curve at equal and convenient distances is known as “setting out a curve”.
Methods employed for setting out a circular curve are:
1. Rankine Method of tangential angles: Rankine method is based on the principle that the deflection angle to any point on a circular curve is measured by one half the angle subtended by the arc from Point of curve to that point.
2. Two theodolite method: This method is used when the ground is unsuitable for chaining and is based on the principle that the angle between the tangent and the chord is equal to the angle which that chord subtends in the opposite segment.
3. Tacheometric method: this method is less accurate than “Rankine Method of tangential angles”.Curves Question 7:
What is the principle behind the two theodolite methods used to establish a simple circular curve?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Curves Question 7 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
The various methods used for setting curves are as follows:
Methods for setting out curves |
Principle Used |
Offsets from long chord |
Long chord is divided into an even number of equal parts. Taking centre of long chord as origin, the perpendicular offsets are calculated to the curve. |
Successive bisection of chord |
Points on a curve are located by bisecting the chords and erecting the perpendiculars at the mid-point. |
Offsets from the tangents perpendicular or radial |
The offsets from tangents are calculated and set to get the required curve. The offsets can be either radial or perpendicular to tangents. |
Rankine method of tangential (deflection) angles |
Points on the curve are located by deflection angles and the chord lengths. |
Two Theodolite |
It is based on the principle that the angle between the tangent and the chord is equal to the angle subtended by the chord in the opposite segment |
Curves Question 8:
The length of the long chord in a circular curve is equal to:
Where R is the radius of the curve and Δ is the deflection angle.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Curves Question 8 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
For the given curve:
The length of the long chord, T1CT2 = \(2R\sin \frac{{\rm{\Delta }}}{2}\)
Tangent length \(\left( \text{T} \right)=\text{R}\tan \frac{\text{ }\!\!Δ\!\!\text{ }}{2}\)
Long chord \(\left( \text{L} \right)=2\text{R}\sin \frac{\text{ }\!\!Δ\!\!\text{ }}{2}\)
Length of curve \(\left( \text{l} \right)=\frac{\text{ }\!\!\pi \;\!\!\text{ R }\;\!\!Δ\!\!\text{ }}{180}\)
Mid-ordinate \(\left( \text{M} \right)=\text{R}\left( 1-\cos \frac{\text{ }\!\!Δ\!\!\text{ }}{2}\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ } \right)\)
External distance \(\left( \text{E} \right)=\text{R}\left( \sec \frac{\text{ }\!\!Δ\!\!\text{ }}{2}\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ }-1 \right)\)
Curves Question 9:
If g1 = + 1.2% and g2 = + 0.8% and rate of change of grade = 0.1% per 20 m chain, then the length of the vertical curve is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Curves Question 9 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Total Grade = Grade 1 – Grade 2
Length of curve = (Total grade/Rate of change of grade per chain length) × Length of chain
Calculation:
An upgrade of + 1.2% joins another upgrade of + 0.8%.
Grade = + 1.2 – (+ 0.8) = 0.4 % (Upward)
Change of grade is 0.1% per 20 m chain.
L = (0.4/0.1) × 20 = 80 mCurves Question 10:
The angle of intersection of two straights is 120°. Find the ratio of the length of long chord to the tangent length.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Curves Question 10 Detailed Solution
Concept
Tangent length(T) = Rtan(Δ/2)
Length of curve(L) = πRΔ/180
Long chord(l) = 2Rsin(Δ/2)
External distance(E) = R(sec(Δ/2)-1)
Mid-ordinate(m) = R(1 - cos(Δ/2))
Given:
Angle of intersection = 120 °
Calculation:
we need to find deflection Angle = Δ
Angle of intersection + Deflection angle = 180°
∴ Deflection angle, Δ = 60°
Length of long chord(l) = 2 × R × sin (60°/2) = 2 × R × 1/2 = R.
Tangent length(T) = Rtan(60/2) = \({R \over \sqrt 3}\)
\({l \over T} = {R \over R /\sqrt 3} = \sqrt 3\) (Ans)
