Circular Curve Components
Properties of Circular Curve:
Degree of Curvature:
Traditionally, the steepness of the curvature is defined by either the radius (R) or the degree of curvature (D).
Degree of curvature = angle subtended by an arc of length 100 feet.
The diagram below is showing the degree of curvature.
If the arc length is 100 feet then the angle will be the degree of curvature as shown in the figure below.

(Degree of curvature is not used with metric units because D is defined in terms of feet.)
Length of Curve:
For a given external angle (), the length of curve (L) is directly related to the radius (R).

L = (R) / 180
As we know / 180=1/57.3
L = R / 57.3
Where
R = Radius of Circular Curve
L = Length of Curvature
= Deflection Angle

From the above relation L = R / 57.3 . It is concluded that larger the radius of curve longer will be the curve.
for the Layout of Simple Circular Curve :
Tangent: T = R tan(/2)
: C = 2R sin(/2)
Mid Ordinate: M = R R cos(/2)
External Distance: E = R sec(/2) R
