Lab Report 1 Final Final Final

This document summarizes an azimuth traverse lab report. The report details establishing corners for a traverse using a transit, measuring azimuth angles and line lengths between corners. Observations were recorded, including magnetic bearings checked against computed bearings. When reoccupying the starting point, the closing azimuth was found to agree, indicating no angular errors in the survey. Pictures documenting the lab were also included.

I. Title: Azimuth Traverse
II. Objective: To run a closed traverse by measuring azimuth angles.
III. Instruments: Engineer's Transit (SN: 72753 PUP 184A-0001-NDC), Range Poles,
Chaining Pins, Hubs or Pegs, Steel Tape and Plumb Bobs
IV. Procedure:
a. Establish the corners of the assigned traverse (with at least 5 corners). Call these corners
A, B, C, and etc.; and use pegs or hubs to mark each. Also, set range poles close to these
corners to serve as guides or markers during sighting.
b. Set up and level the instrument at the first corner (A) of the traverse.
c. Orient the instrument with the magnetic meridian by setting the horizontal circle to read
zero degrees and seeing to it that the magnetic needle in the compass box also points
to the south (or north) end of the meridian.
d. Determine and record the magnetic azimuth of lines AE (shown in the sketch as the last
line of the traverse) and AB (shown as the first line of the traverse). Also, observe and
record the magnetic bearing of both lines as indicated in the compass box.
e. With a steel tape measure the length of line AB and make a second measurement back.
Compute the mean of both measurements, then record all three measurements
accordingly. Similar measurements should also be made and recorded for all remaining
lines of the traverse.
f. Transfer the instrument to the next corner (B) then, set up and level the instrument.
g. Invert the telescope and backsight on the previous corner (A), with the circle still
clamped together at the azimuth reading of the line just observed (AB).
h. Clamp the lower motion, plunge the telescope back to normal position, loosen the upper
clamp and sight exactly on the next corner (C) by manipulating the upper tangent screw
(the reading on the circle now gives the azimuth of the forward line, BC, with its azimuth
reckoned from the same meridian of the azimuth of (AB).
i. Transfer the instrument to the next corner (C) and repeat a similar procedure as outlined
in steps 5 through 7 above. Do the same at all other corners of the traverse until the last
traverse corner (E) is occupied. Record all observations accordingly.
j. Refer to the accompanying sample format for the tabulation of all observed and
computed field data.
k. After all observations and measurements have been completed, occupy back station A.
Continuing with the same process as outlined earlier, determine the azimuth of line AB
after a backsight on E is made. This new azimuth of AB should agree with the azimuth of
AB as earlier observed at the start of the survey. If it does not an angular error exists.
V. Computation/Data Result

= 262 180 = S 82 W = 180 111 = S 69 E

= 360 291 = N 69 W = 180 167 = S 13 E

= 360 347 = N 13 W = 193 180 = S 13 W

= 13 = N 13 E = 266 180 = S 86 W

= 360 318 = N 42 W
= 86 = N 86 W
= 360 335 =N 25 W
= 180 138 = S 42 E
= 14 = N 14 E
= 180 155 = S 25 E
= 82 = N 82 E
= 194 180 = S 14 W

VI. Conclusion
When running a traverse by observing azimuths the instrument automatically works
out the addition and subtraction of angles when sights are directed to the points,
hence no computations are involved. Magnetic bearings are checked against
blunders by noting the value by which the computed bearings vary from
corresponding magnetic bearings which are observed.
