Design of Horizontal Curve: Formula

The document provides a formula and data to calculate the ordinates of a horizontal curve with a radius of 200 and chord length of 80 over intervals of 10. The formula is used to calculate the ordinates at intervals from -40 to 40, with the maximum ordinate occurring at 0 of 4.040821. A graph is also provided showing the curve defined by the calculated ordinates.
