    SETTING OUT A SIMPLE CURVE USING DEFLECTION ANGLE AND CHORD DISTANCE METHOD

    Objective:
    To set out a simple curve on the ground using the deflection angle and chord distance
    method.

    Location:
    Any place with a level and clear ground surface

    Instruments needed:
    1 total station
    1 Prism
    1 steel/plastic tape
    2 marking pins/stakes
    1 prism pole

    OFFICE WORK:
    1. Calculate all the elements of the curve.
    2. Calculate the stationing of PC, PI and PT.
    3. Calculate the field deflection angles and chord distances of full stations on the
    curves. Put in a table for ready reference when in the field.

    FIELD WORK:
    1. Locate PC, PT, and PI and mark with range poles.
    2. Set up the total station exactly at PC and make temporary adjustments.
    3. Set the vernier A to zero and sight the PI . Close the lower clamp.
    4. Open the upper clamp and set the vernier A to read θ 1. The line of sight is thus
    directed along PC to the first full station.
    5. Hold the zero end of the tape at PC, stretch the tape and lay out the chord distance
    from PC to the first full station. This establishes the first full station on the curve.
    6. Set the second deflection angle θ2 on the scale so that the line of sight is set along PC
    to the second full station.
    7. Hold the zero end of the tape at PC, stretch the tape and lay out the chord distance
    from PC to the second full station. This establishes the second t full station on the
    curve.
    8. The same steps are repeated till the last point PT is reached.
    Tabulation and Computation of Data:

    Remarks/Findings:
    We calculated the parts of the simple curve starting with the given data PC, Tangent, and Long
    Chord. We plotted the points of the curve on the field and the Total Station automatically gave us
    distances and angles.

    Conclusion:

    In conclusion, conducting the survey using a total station yielded accurate and precise data,
    greatly enhancing our project outcomes. The instrument's efficiency, ability to capture 3D
    coordinates, and seamless data integration were instrumental in achieving our surveying
    objectives. While environmental factors and expertise considerations posed challenges, the
    benefits of using a total station far outweighed the limitations. Overall, the survey using the total
    station was a success, providing us with valuable data for further analysis and decision-making.
