    The document summarizes a fieldwork activity where students laid out a simple curve using the deflection angle method. Key details include: 1) The objective was to layout a 50m radius simple curve using deflection angles and chord distances measured at half-station intervals from the point of curvature. 2) Data such as deflection angles, central angles, and chord distances were calculated and recorded as stations were established from the first to final point of tangency. 3) Sources of potential error from human and environmental factors are discussed, with less than 1% error calculated between planned and actual values.

    1. OBJECTIVE
    This activity aims to layout a simple curve using deflection angle method in the field.

    2. INTRODUCTION
    The simple curve is an arc of a circle. It is the most commonly used. The radius of the
    circle determines the ‘sharpness” or ”flatness” of the curve. The larger the radius, the flatter the
    curve is.

    3. SITE: UST Grandstand

    4. INSTRUMENTS
    The instruments which are used in this fieldwork are the following:
     Transit/Theodolite with tripod
     Steel tape
     Set of marking pins
     Plumb bob

    5. ACTIVITY(IES)

    1. Before proceeding to the designated survey site, the laboratory instructor/s should
    be consulted with respect to the following curve elements which will be needed to
    define the circular curve to be laid out.
    1.1 Radius of the curve (R)
    1.2 Intersection or deflection angle (I)
    1.3 Stationing of the point of intersection (PI)/point of curvature (PC) point of
    tangency (PT)
    2. Similarly, the different elements for the circular curve such as T, L, C, E, M, and the
    stationing of PC and PT should be predetermined by calculations. The computations
    should also include the deflection angles and chord lengths which will be needed
    when staking out the curve by half station intervals, the accompanying sketch in the

    1
    preceding page is given to serve as reference for the different abbreviations and
    terminologies used in this exercise.
    3. All values needed to lay out the curve should be tabulated accordingly. Refer to the
    accompanying sample format for the tabulation of the required data.

    Method 1: Deflection Angle Method

    a. Set up and level the instrument at the designated PC or PT


    b. Establish on the ground the PI by laying out with a steel tape, the computed tangent
    distance (T) from the PC or PT. The intersection angle (I) at the PI and the distance
    carried through the forward tangent will also be needs to set a stake at the PC or PT.
    c. To establish the first curve station, first set the horizontal circle reading of the
    instrument to zero and sight along the back tangent. Then turn the instrument
    about its vertical axis and lay off the required sub-deflection angle and the
    corresponding chord distance for the first station. Set a hub to mark the located
    station.
    d. Repeat the process of locating succeeding stations on the curve by laying out the
    computed deflection angles from the tangent distance and the chord distances from
    PC and PT. Do this until all the required stations of the curve laid out and properly
    marked on the ground.
    e. When the station is established, the closing PT should be staked out using the final
    deflection angle and sub-chord, to determine the disclosure in laying out the curve.

    9. SOURCES OF ERRORS

    The sources of errors may be human error and environment factors. Errors may occur
    from not levelled level vial of theodolite because of human error. With this there will be a
    difference in true value and the data gathered from the reading. Another factor that can affect the
    reading of elevation is the rod not held straight. Some of the environmental factors can be the
    heat from the sunlight which can cause a thermal expansion on the rod used and it can also alter
    the reading from the transit.

    10. REMARKS

    In this fieldwork, the surveyors were able to apply in real life situation what they have
    learned in surveying lecture. The surveyors were able to determine the different parts of a simple
    curve. They were also able to plot the curve on the field. Fieldwork 1 was a good activity to start
    the semester with surveying laboratory. It was an exciting activity because we were able to finish
    the activity successfully.
