Curve 4

This document provides instructions for calculating data needed to lay out a curve using Rankine's method of tangential angles. It includes the given data of a curve with a tangent intersect at chainage 59+60, a deflection angle of 50°30', radius of 15 chains, and peg interval of 100 links. The document then shows the calculations to determine the actual deflection angles to be set out, taking into account the theodolite's least count of 20". It concludes by mentioning an alternative two theodolite method that can be used when the ground is unsuitable for chaining.

Example 2.

4
Calculate the necessary data for setting out the curve by
Rankines’s methods of tangential angle. Theodolite has a
least count of 20 ". Tabulate the actual readings of deflection
angles to be set out.
Data : Tangent intersect at chainage 59+60.
Deflection Angle = 50º30'.
R = 15 chain
Peg Interval = 100 links
Length of chain = 20 meters ( 100 links)
Solution
We know from Rankeen’s
Δ1= δ1 = c1D/40
Δn-1= c1D/40 + (n-2)D/2 [Δ2, Δ3, Δ4, up to Δn-1]
Δn= Δn-1+ δn = c1D/40 + (n-2)D/2+ cnD/40
But we do not know Deg of curve D. So we have to use the following
formula:
δ = 1718.9 c/R

As we calculated from earlier :


R = 15x 20 = 300 m
c1 = 9.48 m, cn = 14.94 m and c = 20 m.
δ1 = 1718.9 c1/R= 1718.9 x ( 9.48/300) = 54.32 min = 54' 19"
δ2= δ3 = δ4= δ= 1718.9 c/R= 1718.9 x ( 20/300) = 114.593 min = 1º54' 36.6"
δ14 = 1718.9 cn/R= 1718.9 x ( 14.94/300) = 85.592 min = 1º25' 35"
Δ1= δ1 = 54' 19"
Δ2= Δ1 + δ2 = 54' 19"+ 1º54' 36.6" = 2º48' 54.6"
Remember Theodolite has limitation of minimum 20"
TWO THEODOLITE METHOD

Suitable when ground is


unsuitable for chaining.
Based on principal of that
the angle between tangent
and chord is equal angle
which that chord subtends
in opposite segments
