Traverse Survey

Traverse surveying is a popular method of surveying. Traversing is that type of survey where several connected survey lines form a framework and the directions and lengths of the survey lines are measured with the help of a tool to measure angles and tape or chain respectively. Traverse networks involve placing survey stations in a queue or trail and using pre-tested points as a basis for looking at the next point. This type of surveying is different from Tacheometric surveying, where only angles are measured and the process of chaining is reduced.

b. Calculate for the radius of the simple curve that starts at the PC.
c. Calculate for the radius of the simple curve that ends at the PT.
d. What will be the stationing of the PT of the compound curve?
2. It is desired to add a third simple curve in the compound curve (in problem 1), forming a reverse curve with
parallel tangents and unequal radii. The curve will begin at the PT of the compound curve. If the perpendicular
distance between the parallel tangents is 136.5 m, solve for the following:
a. Radius of the 3rd simple curve.
b. Stationing of the PT (for the reversed curve).
