Fieldwork 2

This laboratory report outlines a fieldwork activity to determine individual pace factors and measure distances by pacing. Students will first measure a 50m distance using a tape measure 10 times to calculate their average pace. They will then use this pace factor to measure the same 50m distance by pacing and calculate error. The objectives are to introduce measuring distance by tape and pace, determine individual pace factors, and measure distance by pacing.

and pacing a distance
2. Determine their individual pace factor ● ● ● ●

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs)


1. Apply the basic surveying concepts, principles and theories on distance and angular
measurements as well as area computation.
2. Conduct fieldwork exercises tp measure the distances and angles/direction leading towards
the determination of areas and elevations and report the results in an organized manner.
3. Recognize the importance of various team member’s roles and cite examples of team
behaviors that are helpful in the implementation of the fieldwork exercise.
4. Write a neat and orderly field report detailing the results and analyses of the fieldwork study.

5. Apply the basic surveying concepts, principles and theories on stadia and topographic
surveying as well as subdivision of lots.
6. Utilize modern surveying equipment such as the total station and handheld GPS in obtaining
vertical and horizontal distances, angles, and coordinates.
7. Conduct fieldwork exercises in laying out horizontal curves and report the results in an
organized manner.
8. Utilize modern surveying equipment and software such as the total station and surveying
calculator software in obtaining vertical and horizontal distances, angles, and coordinates

APPARATUS AND EQUIPMENT


1. 2-range pole
2. 1-plastic/steel tape

III. PROCEDURE

A. To determine the individual pace factor.


1. Lay a 50 m distance on the ground using a tape measure, then drive a hub at either end or
mark the ground.
2. Count the number of paces necessary by starting at the first point and moving forward
naturally until you reach the second point.
3. Up to ten times, repeat step 2.
4. Calculate the ten paces' average.
5. To calculate the pace factor, divide the 50-meter distance by the calculated average pacing.
B. To measure a distance by pacing.
1. Using a tape measure, mark the ground 50 meters away, then drive a hub to each end or
leave a mark on the ground.
2. Count the number of paces by moving from the starting point up to the second point
3. Repeat step two up to five times.
4. Calculate the mean of the 5 paces.
5. The pace factor, calculated in Letter A, is multiplied by the average pace. The product is the
distance of the two points.
6. To calculate the individual percent error, divide the difference between the distances
measured by pacing and taping by the distance measured by taping. Then, multiply the result
by 100.
7. If the error is larger than 3%, carry out the procedure again until it is below that mark.
8. Enter the data in the corresponding field.
