OFFSET FROM TANGENT LINE

1) Objectives
1.1 1.2 To calculate setting out of circular curve using offset from tangent line method To apply the method to setting out the circular curve at field

2) Materials and tools


2.1 Theodolite 2.2 Tripod 2.3 Measurement tape 2.4 Surveying Arrow 2.5 Ranging pole

3) Theory
Horizontal, circular or simple curves are curves of constant radius required to connect two straights set out on the ground. The following methods of setting out curves is the most popular and it is called Rankines deflection or tangential angle method, the latter term being more definitive.

Equation for calculate chainage :T = R tan L=2

Chainage of T1 = Chainage IP T Chainage of T2 = Chainage T1 + L

4 ) Procedures
1. Calculate the data are given in class. Data will given from lecturer :i. Deflection angle, ii. Radius curve, R iii. Chord iv. Chainage intersection point, IP

2. From result the data, setting out curve at the field i. ii. Sub tangent, T = R tan Length, L =2

3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

iii. Chainage of T1 =Chainage IP T iv. Chainage of T2 = Chainage T1 + L v. Calculate y1,y2 ,y3 and etc....., and Chords, X Plot the diagram. Choose appropriate untersection point, IP in the line and mark the tangent line likes and IP with ranging pole. Mark the tangent distance From measure the distance of and setting to IP in the tangent line. Using optical square at point measure the mark the point with surveying arrow Repeat procedure (5) for remaining points.

6) Conclusion
1. Discuss the factor affecting design of circular curve in field work 2. How to locate Tangent Point if IP is inaccessible

7) Discussion
1) I. II. Factor road and railways vehicle speed , existing road/rail reserve Factor pipelines min, radius for joint pipes.

2) If the straights are extended beyond the curve, they will meet at a point, known as the intersection point, at an angle (the intersection angle) that can be calculated from a drawing or measured on the ground . The mid-point of the curve is called the apex.
