How do you set a curve in field?
(i) Locate the tangent points T1 and T2. (ii) Measure equal distances, say 15 or 30 m along the tangent from T1. (iii) Set out the offsets calculated by any of the above methods at each distance, thus obtaining the required points on the curve. (iv) Continue the process until the apex of the curve is reached.
What is the minimum radius of curve in highways?
(Evren; 2002). Based on the different criterion (Lateral Jerk, lateral acceleration, superelevation), table 1 gives the minimum curve radius from 20 to 130 km/h for highways and table 2 gives the minimum curve radius from 20 to 250 km/h for railways.

Which method can be used for setting out simple curve?
Which among the following indicates the correct set of methods for setting out a simple curve? Explanation: The methods involved in setting out a curve can be given as linear method, angular method and instrument method is also involved which is capable of providing accurate information.

Method of setting of curve is also classified on the basic of Instrument Used.
- Tape Method.
- Tape & Theodolite Method.
- Two Theodolite Method.

- Total Station Method.
What do you understand by setting out a curve?
This is the process of establishing the centre-line of the curve on the ground by means of pegs at 10 m to 30 m intervals. In order to do this the tangent and intersection points must first be fixed in the ground, in their correct positions.
What are the difficulties in setting out simple curves?
When the curve is short and the ground is free from obstructions like buildings, trees etc., the whole curve can be set out from the first tangent point (T1). However it is not always possible to have short curves and ground free from obstacles.
How do you calculate the curve of best fit?
Curve of Best Fit: a curve the best approximates the trend on a scatter plot. If the data appears to be quadratic, we perform a quadratic regression to get the equation for the curve of best fit. If it appears to be cubic, then we perform a cubic regression.
