Introduction
This project will help us understand the method in depth for carrying out
In our topographic jobs, we will present a series of information that we
it will help in the diagonal method with each specific pause of the topic and
how can we carry it out, in order to understand it better we must understand what it is
what is topography, what it entails, and what it specializes in.
The topography is the way to represent the varied heights of the surface of the
Land on maps helps us recognize the terrain, to measure these points in the
space takes into account distance, elevation, and direction. The topography
it is essential for studying, developing, and executing engineering projects in works
which are based on the surfaces of the earth and focusing on the elaboration
in which a work is carried out, but it is important to have the guidance of architects for
thus giving the best location and distribution to the work, the engineer's guidance will be for
obtain the best stability, rigidity, and safety of the area in which work will be done with
the elevation of the area.
Topography is essential in various fields of work such as some of them
architecture, surveying, engineering, geography, mining, cartography,
oceanography, has developed in various fields of work and has developed
various methods to carry out surveys such as the methods of
radiation, altimetry, midpoint method, extreme point method, diagonals method, of
coordinates, of polygons, of intersections and many more that help the
workers can carry out the surveys in different ways and when
they present us with different circumstances but we will see one in specific which is the
diagonal method and we will see how we can carry it out.
Diagonal Method
Within planimetry, one of the three branches that constitute topography,
There are methods that allow identifying the dimensions and shapes that a
land.
At first, when people questioned the dimensions
and from the shapes that the land possessed, they began to devise different ways to
identify those characteristics, with instruments that started out being simple
and imprecise, which over time and with the increase of needs
men were increasing their precision, the ease of use, and the time
in which the measurement was carried out, and with it, their cost also increased.
One of the first methods devised to measure land and determine the
The form it has is the method known as 'Diagonal Method'.
The diagonal method is a procedure carried out in the field in which
the lengths corresponding to the sides that determine the perimeter are measured
of the land and being aware that these lengths are not sufficient
information to determine the shape of the land, the layout of
auxiliary lines that originate from one of the vertices of the terrain's polygon
towards the vertices that are opposite to this one. This procedure allows for the
creation of imaginary triangles in the terrain that are mathematically much
easier to work with when talking about area and interior angles. Later,
You can sum the partial angles and the partial areas and with that
determine the final shape and surface of the land. It is worth mentioning that this method
it is only applicable in areas where there are no constructions inside the
polygonal, and consequently it is obviously simple to draw and measure
the imaginary diagonal lines that will determine the triangles on the ground.
The diagonal method states that for every 'n' vertices that the shape has
On the ground, n - 3 diagonals will be drawn.
This method also establishes that the number of triangles drawn inside
The number of diagonals of the polygon is equal to the number of sides minus two (n - 2).
The field registration of the lengths of the edges that define the
land, the imaginary lines and the necessary data required for the
obtaining the perimeter and area of the land in question is carried out using
from a transit notebook that is designed for the surveyor or chainman to carry
better control of the information obtained.
The transit notebook has two different types of grid. On the side
on the left side of the leaves, a striped section intended for placement can be observed
longitudes and written data. On the right side, there is a grid intended for the
creation of a sketch that represents a general idea of the shape of the terrain.
In Topography, each of the vertices that make up the polygonal is referred to as
called Station (EST.), the lengths are measured from a base station to
the desired station, known as Punto Visado (P.V.).
Establishing the necessary information to present a first practical case
of topographic surveying with tape, the procedure for presenting is proceeded to
to know the lengths and shapes of a polygon.
Thanks to the data acquired from the topographic survey of the land.
we can develop our spreadsheet by dividing our property in two
parts:
Triangle 1-2-4:
The spreadsheet will help us calculate the square meters of our
Building of the divided part that was triangle 1-2-4 which was 77.89 m2.
Triangle 2-3-4:
Conclusions
Thanks to this method, we can know the specific area of our land.
that rose quickly, but we must take into account that there are
many more methods that we can implement, but we know that for
to develop it in the field we must have the appropriate tools and solve
our problems at the time of the uprising.
