Types of curvesHorizontal • Hair Pin Curves • Salient Curves • Reentrant curves 3 Hair Pin Curves • changes its direction through an angle of 180 or so, down the hill on the same side • conforms to the shape of a hairpin • located on hill side having the minimum slope • must be safe from the view point of land slides and ground water • Hairpin bends with long arms andSimple curves Types of curves in surveying Compound curve This is a curve that is comprised of a series of two or more simple curves of different radius turning in the same general direction This type of curve is used to avoid cutting or filling They become advantages when a road has to be placed to fit a ground, like a layout between aThe level curves f(x,y) = k are just the traces of the graph of f in the horizontal plane z=k projected down to the xyplane Figure 1 Relation between level curves and a surface k is variating acording to 5015 One common example of level curves occurs in topographic maps of mountainous regions, such as the map in Figure 2 The level curves are curves of constant elevation of the
