2 range poles
2 chalk for pavements
1 set of marking pins for soft grounds
50 meter tape
1 transit

PROCEDURE:
1. The Professor gives the following data:
d1 = 0.11
D = 2.5
d2 = 1.39
Location of PC on the site (Note location and not station is now given since d 1 and d2 are
given.)
GIVEN:
NOTE: Be very careful in assigning the location of PC and the direction of the backward tangent
so that the curve will not obstructed by any structure.
VERY IMPORTANT: Before going to the field the student must compute:
a. Angle of Intersection
I
= 49
b. Total deflection angle
I / 2 = 24.5
c. Length of the long chord
C
= 380.16
d. Half d1
d1 / 2 = 0.055
e. Half d2
d2 / 2 = 0.695
f. Half D
D / 2 = 1.25
2. The students:
2.1 Set up the transit at PC. Level and orient the transit to the magnetic south.
2.2 Turn the telescope in the direction of the backward tangent and mark its direction with a
range pole.
2.3 Set the horizontal vernier reading to zero. With the lower clamp still loosened, direct
telescope again direct to tangent.
2.4 Loosen the upper clamp and turn the telescope until the reading on vernier equals the
magnitude of the total deflection angle of the curve. Along this line and with a distance
equal to the length of the long chord from PC locate the position of PT.
2.6 Level the theodolite and set the horizontal vernier to zero while sighting PC.
3. To locate the first intermediate point A in the curve mark on the ground the intersection of the
line of sight in both instruments with a reading equal to
reading is referred from the back tangent while the second instruments reading is referred
from the long chord.)
4. The next intermediate point B may be located on the ground using the same procedure as in
step 8, but this time use a reading equal to (
5. The third intermediate point C may also be found following the same processes, but now use a
reading in the horizontal vernier equal to (
6. Continue the process to locate other intermediate points on the curve with a gradual increase
in the deflection angle up to the last intermediate point.

SAMPLE COMPUTATION
Given:
d1 = 0.11
D = 2.5
d2 =1.39
Solution:
Angle of intersection, I = 49
Length of long chord, C = 380.16
d2/2 = 0.695
D = 1.25
C = 380.16
Intersection Angle, I:
I = d1 + 8D + d2 = 21.5
A = 0.11/2
I/2 = 49/2
A = 0.055
I = 24.5
Second Intermediate Point, B
Long Chord, C:
B = [(d1+D)/2]
C = 2 * R * sin (I/2)
B = [(0.11+2.5)/2]
B = 1.305
At Intermediate Point A
Computed Length of the Chord = 0.88
C = [(d1+2D)/2]
Measured Chord Length = 0.89
C = [(0.11+2(2.5))/2]
C = 2.555
Percent Error = (Computed-Measured)/Computed
Percent Error = (0.88-0.891)/0.88
Percent Error 0.01%
Analysis of Data
In the first part of this fieldwork, we were to lay a simple curve
on uneven ground, to lay a simple curve using double-deflection
angle method and to master the use of the transit and theodolite in
laying a simple curve.
From the gathered data taken from the said activity, it can be
seen that every detail gathered was tallied in the given data. The
summation of deflection angles taken was all equal to 35 which are
half of the given angle of point of intersection which is 70 degrees.
And also the chord distances were all equal to 280 meters and so
close to the length of the main curve.
Conclusion
In performing this fieldwork which deals with laying of a
simple curve on uneven ground using transit and theodolite using
double-deflection method. We gathered data which are almost similar
to the computed values. So the percentage error was just minimal.
At the end of this fieldwork, we were able to lay a simple curve
on the ground, to be able to lay a simple curve using doubledeflection angle method and to be able to master the use of the
transit and theodolite in laying a simple curve.
Acknowledgement
Firstly, I would like to thank God for giving me another day
to do what I have continued and another day to prove myself and do
all the tasks that life has given me. And also for all the people he
has given me to love, to care and to make my life more joyful.
Including my parents, friends, professors, acquaintances, and even
those people who make my life thrilling.
Also, I would like to thank my group mates for their effort
and their time and also their cooperation in participating in this
fieldwork. Also, I would like to mention about doing their assigned
tasks and doing it right in order for us to finish the field work on
time.
Lastly, I would like to show my gratitude to my professor,
Engr. Cervantes, for teaching us and guiding us for our activity and
for imparting his ideas regarding the topic and make it possible for
us to do it on our own. And at the end of the day, there was another
learning for us weve gathered which is also can be used in the
future as we exercise/apply our chosen field.
