STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Radius of Circular Curve = 30/(Percent Grade-1)
R_c = 30/(s-1)
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Radius of Circular Curve - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Circular Curve is the radius of a circle whose part, say, arc is taken for consideration.
Percent Grade - Percent Grade refers to the tangent of the angle of that surface to the horizontal.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Percent Grade: 1.23 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R_c = 30/(s-1) --> 30/(1.23-1)

Evaluating ... ...
