N-th Offset using Chords Produced Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Offset n = (Last Sub Chord/2*Radius of Curve for Mid Ordinate)*(Sub Chord n-1+Last Sub Chord)
O_n = (C_n/2*R_{Mid Ordinate})*(C_n-1+C_n)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Offset n - (Measured in Meter) - Offset n is the length of nth offset to be made for setting out the curve from tangent length.
Last Sub Chord - (Measured in Meter) - Last Sub Chord is the length of the last or nth sub-chord created for setting out the curve.
Radius of Curve for Mid Ordinate - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Curve for Mid Ordinate is the radius of a circle whose part, say, arc is taken for consideration.
Sub Chord n-1 - (Measured in Meter) - Sub Chord n-1 is the length of second last sub chord that means, n-1 th chord.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Last Sub Chord: 8 Meter --> 8 Meter No Conversion Required
Radius of Curve for Mid Ordinate: 40 Meter --> 40 Meter No Conversion Required
Sub Chord n-1: 4 Meter --> 4 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

O_n = (C_n/2*R_{Mid Ordinate})*(C_n-1+C_n) --> (8/2*40)*(4+8)

Evaluating ... ...

O_n = 1920

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1920 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1920 Meter <-- Offset n

What is the Procedure for Setting Out Curves using Offsets from Chords?

The procedure for setting out curves using offsets from chords involves measuring and marking the chord, calculating the offsets using the formula, and then marking the offset points along the curve.

What is the Importance of Using the Correct Radius when Calculating Offsets for Setting Out Curves?

Using the correct radius is important because it determines the shape and size of the curve, and any errors can lead to deviations from the design plan.

How to Calculate N-th Offset using Chords Produced?
