Transitional curve 1-To accomplish gradually
transition from tangent to the curve. 2-To allow
gradual introduction of super elevation.
F centrifugal force

The smaller the radius the bigger the force.

Example The central circular arc of a composite
curve on a part of road width 7.3m designed
speed 85 km/h has a radius 700m. 1) calculate
the amount of super elevation that should be
built in the road and calculate the length of
Transitional curve if the rate of change of
acceleration 0.4 m/s3. Sol. , C0.4m/s3
