What is simple curve in surveying?
A simple curve consists of a single arc of a circle connecting two straights. It has. radius of the same magnitude throughout.
What are the elements of simple curve in surveying?
The surveyor indicates it as one of the stations on the preliminary traverse.

How do you find the deflection angle of a simple curve?
The deflection angle is measured from the tangent at the PC or the PT to any other desired point on the curve. The total deflection (DC) between the tangent (T) and long chord (C) is ∆/2. The deflection per foot of curve (dc) is found from the equation: dc = (Lc / L)(∆/2). dc and ∆ are in degrees.
What is the simple and compound curves in construction surveying?
A compound curve consists of two or more simple curves having different radii bending in the same direction and lying on the same side of the common tangent. Their centres lie on the same side of the curve. In fig. 11.2, T1 P T2 is the compound curve with T1O1 and PO2 as its radii.
