Calculate all the data necessary for seEng out a curve with a radius of 300 m by deflec<on
angle method. The peg interval is 30 m. if the least count of the theodolite is 20 ̋, calculate
the actual theodolite reading for seEng out.
Solu%on:
Chainage of point of intersec%on = 1190 m
Deflec%on angle = 36˚
Radius of curve = 300 m
Peg interval = 30 m
Least count of the theodolite is 20“
