The Transition Curve

"The Transition Curve: By Offsets and by Deflection Angles" explores the mathematical principles and practical applications of transition curves in civil and railroad engineering. This work by Charles Lee Crandall provides a detailed examination of how to design and implement transition curves using both offset and deflection angle methods. It serves as a valuable resource for engineers and surveyors seeking to enhance their understanding and skills in curve design.

Originally published in 1893, this treatise delves into the geometric properties of transition curves and offers methodologies for their calculation and application in real-world scenarios. Crandall¢s meticulous approach ensures that readers gain a solid foundation in the subject matter, making this book an essential addition to any engineering library.
