    This document discusses transition curves used when joining two circular curves with different radii. It provides equations for calculating the shift required when applying transitions to reverse curves based on the radii and angles of deflection of the two curves. An example is given of calculating the transition length and curve portions for two railway lines deflected through 70 degrees with a 1500 foot radius and maximum superelevation of 5 inches, on a 1% gradient.

    VERTICAL AND TRANSITION CURVES 645

    If transitions are applied to reverse curves, the radii must be re-


    duced to allow the transition curves to be introduced, Fig. 12.33.

    If L = yJR (based on Gunter chains),

    A/2 = (*?, + ^) tan |A, + yR, + \y/R 2 + (R2 + ^) tan \ A2

    If R, = R2 , then

    Uh = (/? + 2^)(tan|A,+tan|A 2 ) + y/R (12.113)

    This may be solved as a quadratic in ^R

    Example 12.7. Two railway lines have straights which are deflected
    through 70°. The circular radius is to be 1500 feet with a maximum
    superelevation of 5 in. The gradient of the line is to be 1 in. in 1 chain

    Calculate the distance from the beginning of the transition to the
    intersection point (i.e. tangent length), the lengths of the separate
    portions of the curve and sufficient data for setting out the curve by
