Geometric Properties. Horizontal curves occur at locations where two roadways intersect, providing a gradual transition between the two. The intersection point of the two roads is defined as the Point of Tangent Intersection (PI).The location of the curve's start point is defined as the Point of Curve (PC) while the location of the curve's end …

The radius of a vertical curve in an open belt conveyor typically varies between 400 and 800 meters. Closed belt conveyor systems have in general much smaller idler spacing than those used in open belt conveyor systems. The radius of a curve in a closed belt conveyor system is therefore primarily determined by the admissible belt stretch.

3,2 km long overland belt conveyor that incorporates two 1 350 m radius horizontal curves, taking the path of the conveyor through an angle of 95°. The conveyor forms part of Amcoal's new Landau Colliery. The static design and dynamic simulations were carried out within the Anglo American Corporation.
