Curves are regular bends provided in the lines of communication like roads, railways and canals to bring about the gradual change of direction. They are also used in the vertical plane at all changes of grade to avoid the abrupt change of grade at the apex. Curves provided in the horizontal plane to have the gradual change in direction are known as horizontal curves whereas those provided in the vertical plane to obtain the gradual change in the grade are known as vertical curves. | |
