Engineering Surveying, Sixth Edition

EXERCISES

( 10.1) In a town planning scheme, a road 9 m wide is to intersect another road 12 m wide at 60 , both being straight. The kerbs forming the acute angle are to be joined by a circular curve of 30 m radius and those forming the obtuse angle by one of 120 m radius.

Calculate the distances required for setting out the four tangent points.

Describe how to set out the larger curve by the deflection angle method and tabulate the angles for 15-m chords. (LU)

( 10.2) A straight BC deflects 24 right from a straight AB. These are to be joined by a circular curve which passes through a point P, 200 m from B and 50 m from AB.

Calculate the tangent length, length of curve and deflection angle for a 30-m chord. (LU)

( 10.3) A reverse curve is to start at a point A and end at C with a change of curvature at B. The chord lengths AB and BC are respectively 661.54 m and 725.76 m and the radii likewise 1200 and 1500 m.

Due to irregular ground the curves are to be set out using two theodolites and no tape or chain.

Calculate the data for setting out and describe the procedure in the field. (LU)

( 10.4) Two straights intersect making a deflection angle of 59 24', the chainage at the intersection...
