Just at that time,when you have to calculate the radius of curvature,  just see the net force which is responsible for the circular motion. Equate it to mv^2/r to get the radius.

the above method is very straightforward and with this method you can calculate the formula as well.

Radius of curvature at any point = (u^2 cos^2 theta)/(g cos^3 alpha)Where theta is angle of projection with the horizontal and alpha is the angle made by the velocity vector with horizontal at the given point.
