Discussion:
September 4, 2014 was our assigned date to accomplish
fieldwork 5. The data was given in advance by our professor, Engr.
Bievenido Cervantes. He gave all the necessary data needed and
instructed us to compute for the rest of the data. He also advise
us to do this before laying out or plotting the curve because it will
the task easier for each of us and it also saves time. Hence, we
didnt have much problem in the completion of the fieldwork.
After computing for all the necessary data, we head to the
Surveying Department to borrow instruments for the fieldwork.
We then went to the South Parking Lot of Mapua to lay out the
compound curve. Using the tape and chalk we first plotted the
tangents of the first curve and assigned the stationing including
the PC and PT. After doing those we then set up the theodolite so
we can sight the deflection angle for each station. We then
measured the incremental chord for each station. After getting
the incremental chords, we then measured the central
incremental angles using again the theodolite. We did this all
again for the second curve. After finishing all the sightings and
plotting we then input the data on a table to have an organize

PROPERTIES OF CURVES
The center line of a road consists of series of straight lines
interconnected by curves that are used to change the alignment,
direction, or slope of the road. Those curves that change the
alignment or direction are known as horizontal curves, and those
that change the slope are vertical curves.
The initial design is usually based on a series of straight
sections whose positions are defined largely by the topography of
the area. The intersections of pairs of straights are then
connected by horizontal curves. Curves can be listed under three
main headings, as follows:
(1) Horizontal curve
(2) Vertical curves
Horizontal Curves
the high point of Type I curves or to the low point of type III
curves.

Conclusion:
From the fieldwork entitled Laying of a Compound Curve using
Theodolite and Tape, the following objectives had been achieved and
accomplished. From laying of a simple curve by using the tape, we
acquired the knowledge in laying a compound curve with the use of
the theodolite and tape. The theodolite is hard to set-up because we
have to put all of the bubbles in the center for it to have a correct
reading.
Aside from the first objective mentioned, we were able to master the
skill in leveling, orienting and using the theodolite effectively. In
addition to reviewing what we learned from Elementary Surveying, our
Solid Mensuration skills were also improved as we analyzed different
parts of the simple curve.
On the other hand, we can say that the fieldwork is a matter of
computations. Hence, the most important thing is the practical
application which in this case, the laying of the curve using the meter
tape, two range poles, and the theodolite.
