TITLE
Setting out a Compound Curve on the Ground
2. OBJECTIVE
After the field operations, the students should know the method/s of laying
out a compound curve using either the three (3) methods (Deflection, Offset
from the Tangent, and Offset from the Long Chord) or combination of 2 or 3
methods on the ground.

4.1.2
During the field operation, set and level the instrument over the
intersection of two (2) tangents distance T1 and T2 and take a
back azimuth shot on the back tangent then measure the
necessary distance from the occupied station to locate 1 st vertex.

4.1.6.
4.1.7.
Set and level the instrument at station PCC and bisect the station PC
with instrument in the reverse position and sight the 2 nd angle. Set
station for the second curve.
4.1.8.
After marking all the points on the ground, set out the compound
curve by connecting the points smoothly using a marker. Take
photographs for documentation.

From the data computed, we can observe that the deflection on the second
curve is a lot greater the first curve. Also, it is observable that in every
station, the deflection is increasing.
8. REMARKS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
We, the students who conducted the field work on setting out the
compound curve on the ground noticed that compound curves we
made is composed of two different curves of different degree. We
made the computation first in order to have the necessary data to plot
the curve on the ground. This is the third field work we have
accomplished, making it easier for us to set up the total station in no
time. The degree of the second curve is twice the degree of the first
curve, but still has little degree for us to see a huge difference on the
curve we have plotted. Furthermore, using chalk as a marker in the ST
grounds is a little difficult for the surface is quite smooth. As a
recommendation for the future undertakers of this subject, we suggest
them to do the same thing we did in this field work: to compute the
necessary data and draw the final output. The raw data and data
computed will guide them as they plot the compound curve on the
ground.
