Name of Students: Gonzales, Aurelio, So, Delatorre, Espeno Date Performed: ​07/20/18
Group No.: ​3 Date Submitted: ​07/27/1​8

I. OBJECTIVES
● To be able to compute the parts of a spiral curve by chord-deflection method.
● To be able to lay out a spiral curve through location of points on the curve by
chord distance-deflection angle method

II. INSTRUMENTS
● 2 – sets of marking pins
● Colored ribbons to be attached on the marking pins
● 1 – total station w/ tripod
● 2 – range poles
● 2 – 50-m tapes
● 1- calculator

IV. PROCEDURE

The members are asked to compute the elements of the simple curve that are
needed to complete the spiral curve. The deflection angle and chord length from PC for every
station should also be computed. The professor will check the computations and choose one
computed data from the group to be laid out.
The group should lay out the tangent distance using the 50-m tape so that the
instrument can be set up and levelled at the point of curvature (PC). The tangent will now serve
as the reference and will be set to 0. The first deflection angle will now be used and the chord
length will be laid out. This procedure will be repeated until it reaches the SC. Then, the
instrument should be transferred and levelled at SC. The vernier should be set to 0. Then, the
angle should be set to 0 at the vertex, the telescope will be inverted. The deflection angle of ⅔
Sc from the PC will now be used and the chord length will be laid out. A marking pin should
be used at each point.The procedure will then be repeated up to the point of tangency (PT). The
professor will check if the laid out curve is correct.

VIII. DATA ANALYSIS
Through the given field exercise, the students used chord deflections to lay out the spiral
curve. The data used in the experiment was calculated before the experiment. After the spiral
curve was laid out, the POC’s obtained through were close and nearly touching as verified by the
professor. This supports the theories and concepts which were applicable to the experiment. The
following concepts were proven to be true:
● The method require the deflection angle to find the POC’s.
● At the Spiral to Curve (SC), in order to set sights on the second vertex, one must first
deflect the Total Station by ⅔ Sc degrees.

With regards to the accuracy of the layout, it appears to be fairly accurate as the students
took proper measures to minimize human errors, and as verified by the professor, the positioning
of the curves was correct.
Sources of error on the layout are listed below:
A. Natural Error: On the Second part of the experiment, the rain from earlier morning
caused part of the field to become muddy and slippery. This made it difficult for the Total
Station to remain steady as hitting the triangle would also shift the tripod.
B. Personal Error: This would be due to the handling of the Total Station and the way the
Rod was held, whether straight or not.

VIII. CONCLUSION

After doing the activity, and using deductive reasoning, it can be said that the group was
able to successfully recreate the lay out of the spiral curve. Using our group’s prior knowledge
from the previous experiments, we incorporated all the techniques that we learned in order to
successfully lay out the spiral curve. The group also concluded that regardless of the technique
that is used to get the lay out of the curve, it shall yield an almost identical result if the
computations and lay out are done properly.

IX. RECOMMENDATIONS

The group recommends to the future students who will be doing the experiment to
solve the calculations before the laboratory period so that the fieldwork can be done
instantly. It is also important for the members to read understand the procedures
beforehand so that the experiment can be done efficiently. A sketch of the layout is also
recommended in order to know how the fieldwork will go. It is best for the students to
know the the layout will look like. Also, each member should have their own assigned so
that the fieldwork can be performed efficiently. It is also recommended to think wisely
where the total stations should be placed.
