RE: Camber-Length Ratio
Example: With a 14,400" rolling radius and a 480" long beam, I get a 2" camber and a change in length due to curvature of 0.022".

RE: Camber-Length Ratio
One way is to use Pythagorean's theorem: radius²=(½ span)²+(radius-camber)² This reduces to radius=[¼span²+camber²]/[2camber].
The arc length = 2radius*asin(½span/r)
