SETTING OUT OF CURVE

                                     SETTING OUT OF CURVE

Through this post you are going to learn 

1. What is curve setting ?

2. Type of curve in surveying or classification of curve?

3. Degree of curve .

4. Relation between Radius and degree of curve ?

4. What are the different method of curve setting?


1. What is curve setting ?

Let's assume AB is the direction of a road or railway . Due to some obstacle or some unavoidable circumstance we can not go forward . This is why we have to shift the direction of our road . The angle of change in the direction is known as deflection angle . This angle denoted as Φ . A vehicle to run easily along the road or railway trake these two line are connected by an arc this arc is known as a curve of a road or you can say Setting out of curve  .



2. Types of curve in surveying 

Generally curve are two type 

 i. Horizontal Curve 

ii. Vertical Curve 

    When the curve is provided into the horizontal plane is known as Horizontal Curve  . 

and horizontal curve are five types 

a. Simple Curve

b. Compound Curve 

c. Revers Curve 

d. Transition Curve 

e. Lemniscate Curve 

a. Simple Curve 

When a curve consists of a single arc with a constant radius connecting the two tangents , it is said to be a Simple Circular Curve .



b. Compound Curve

When a curve consists two or more arcs with different radius is said to be Compound Curve .



c. Revers Curve

Reverse curve is the curve where

1.Two arc are bending in opposite direction 

2.Their centre lie on opposite side 

3.May be their radius either equal or different

4.The have one common tangent 



d. Transition Curve





A Curve of variable Radius is called Transition Curve .

e. Lemniscate Curve 



A Lemniscate curve is similar to the Transition Curve and this is generally adopted in city where the diflection angle is large .

3. Degree of curve .



For the unit chord length 30 m , the angle formed at the centre of the circle by the curve is known as Degree of Curve .

4. Relation between Radius and degree of curve ?




Let AB is the unit Chord of the length 30m ,

O = Centre

AB = 30m                

AC = 𝟏/𝟐×𝐴𝐵

AC =1/2×30 = 15


From the triangle AOC

𝑺𝒊𝒏𝑫/𝟐= 𝑨𝑪/𝑶𝑨

𝑺𝒊𝒏𝑫/𝟐 =𝟏𝟓/𝑹

 

When D is very small then 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝑫/𝟐  𝑚𝑎𝑦 𝑏𝑒 𝑡𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑛 𝑎𝑠 𝑫/𝟐  𝑅adian

So ,

R =𝟏𝟓/((𝑫/𝟐)×(𝝅/𝟏𝟖𝟎) )

R = 𝟏𝟕𝟏𝟗/𝑫   (𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒙) 

4. What are the different method of curve            setting?

The following are the general method employed for setting out curves by chain and tape method 

a. Taking offset or ordinate from the long chord 

b. Taking offset from the chord produced 

c. Successively bisecting the arcs

d. Taking offset from the tangent .

Compass Surveying ,Magnetic Declination, Bearing and Azimuth, Techniques and Applications of Compass Surveying, Radiation Surveys, Traverse Surveys

 Introduction In a world dominated by digital technology, the timeless art of compass surveying continues to hold its ground as an essential tool for land measurement, exploration, and navigation. Dating back centuries, the compass has played a pivotal role in shaping human understanding of the world. In this blog, we will delve into the fascinating realm of compass surveying, exploring its history, principles, techniques, and modern applications. The Historical Significance of Compass Surveying Compass surveying finds its origins in ancient civilizations, where travelers and explorers relied on magnetic compasses to find their way across vast lands and uncharted territories. The Chinese were among the first to use magnetic compasses for navigation, an innovation that would eventually reshape global exploration. Over time, compass surveying evolved, integrating mathematics and geometry to enhance accuracy and precision. Understanding the Compass and its Principles At its core, a co...

What is Theodolite, Uses of Theodolite and types of Theodolite

What is Theodolite    Theodolite is the instrument which is mainly used for taking horizontal and vertical angle up to 10" or 20" depending upon the least count of the instrument.  Uses of Theodolite There are many uses of Theodolite, the following are the different purposes for which the theodolite can be used.. 1. Measuring Horizontal Angle 2. Measuring Vertical Angle 3. Measuring Deflection Angle 4. Measuring Magnetic Bearing 5. Measuring Horizontal distance between two points 6. Finding Vertical Height of an object 7. Finding the different of elevation between various points 8. Ranging a Line  How many Types of Theodolite Theodolite may be of two types 1. Transit Theodolite 2. Non - Transit Theodolite Transit Theodolite :- In Transit Theodolite, the telescope can be revolved through a complete revolution about its horizontal axis in a vertical plane  Non - Transit Theodolite :- In Non - Transit Theodolite, the telescope can be revolved through a complete r...

Unraveling the Mysteries of Cadastral Surveys: Mapping Land Ownership Through the Ages

 Unraveling the Mysteries of Cadastral Surveys: Mapping Land Ownership Through the Ages Introduction In an ever-evolving world, where boundaries and land ownership are of paramount importance, cadastral surveys stand as a testament to the human desire for order and organization. These intricate surveys have played a pivotal role in shaping civilizations, facilitating land transactions, and ensuring the smooth functioning of societies for centuries. This blog post delves deep into the history, significance, and evolution of cadastral surveys , shedding light on their enduring impact on our modern landscape. The Origins of Cadastral Surveys Cadastral surveys find their origins in ancient civilizations, where the delineation of land boundaries was crucial for agricultural purposes, taxation, and establishing ownership rights. One of the earliest examples of cadastral surveys can be traced back to ancient Egypt, where the Nile's annual floods necessitated meticulous mapping to resto...
