Question
The following are the cost index and specification:
Type of Pavement = Portland Cement Concrete Pavement
Number of Lanes = Two Lanes
Width of Pavement = 3.66m per lane
Thickness of Pavement = 269 mm
Unit Cost = Php 2,391.02 per cubic meter
The engineer wish to compute the total cost in peso of the road if the curve from point B to point D is considered?

A reverse curve with diverging tangent is to be designed for a proposed highway as illustrated below. The reverse curve is composed of
one compound curve, from point A to C, and one simple curve, from point C to D.
Point A is located at the Point of Curvature having Station 12+808.35, point B is located at the Point of Compound Curve, point C is
located at the Point of Tangency. The back tangent of the reverse curve is having an
located at the Point of Reverse Curve, and point D
azimuth of 388.5 degrees and the forward tangent is having an azimuth of 748.8 degrees. The common tangent for the reverse curve has
an azimuth of 313.1 degrees from south. It has been found out that the long chord of curve A to C is thrice the value of the chord in
curve C to D. The common tangent of the curve A to C is having an azimuth of 254.1 degrees from south and the chord of curve C to D
is 161.3m long.
