FIELDWORK #1
LAYING OUT OF SIMPLE CURVE
I.
OBJECTIVE
To layout a simple horizontal curve using method of deflection angles with all points
on the curve visible from point of curve.
II.
PROBLEM
Given the data below, layout a simple curve with all points on the curve visible from
point of curvature and prepare a field note containing the details of every station in
the curve.
Given:
Back Tangent Azimuth = 270
Forward Tangent Azimuth = 302
Station V = 13 + 995m
Degree of Curve = 4
Length of full station = 1.5 m
