Route Surveying: Circular Curve Setup

The document outlines a lab exercise for route surveying, focusing on setting out a simple circular curve using the method of perpendicular offset from a long chord. Students are to work in groups of five and use specific data for intersection angles and radii to calculate necessary measurements at 10m intervals. Key steps include fixing points, dividing the long chord, calculating middle ordinates, and marking offsets towards the curve.

Route surveying Lab1

a) By perpendicular offset or ordinate from long chord


NB: Make a group of five members in each group and use the data as follows

Suppose a simple circular curve with intersection angle and radios of the curve for each group is given as (G1, G2.G3,
G4, G5, G6, 1400, 1300, 1200, 1500, 1700, 1600, and radios of 200m, 150 m, 100 m, 200 m, 300 m, 250 m respectively is
to be set out by method of perpendicular offset from long chord at 10m peg interval. Calculate all necessary data to set
out the curve?

To set out the curve

 Fix PC and PT based on the length of long chord


Divided the long chord into even number of equal parts.
Mark the middle point of the long chord
Calculate the middle ordinate(M)
Mark the middle ordinate(M) at perpendicular to the middle ordinate
Measure the distance of middle ordinate towards the curve
Mark the middle point of the curve
Calculate all offsets at the given interval as X1=10,X2=20 etc
Mark all offsets from the long chord to towards the curve at perpendicular and mark at the curve point
