What is the primary tool used in linear methods?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the basic tools for measurements.
Question 2.
Name two methods for setting horizontal curves.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the types of methods discussed.
3Question 3.
Which method relies primarily on chains and tapes?
- Angular Methods
- Linear Methods
- Both
Show hintHide hint
Consider the simpler toolset used.
4Question 4.
True or False: The deflection angle is simply the intersection angle.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how angles are defined in curve setting.
Question 5.
A curve requires a 30m radius. If the intersection angle at point B is 90°, calculate the tangent lengths and deflection angle required for setup.
Show hintHide hint
Use the tangential formula for computing lengths.
Question 6.
