    Laying out Simple Horizontal Curve by Deflection Angle Method (or Rankine
    method)

    Objective/s:
    To lay out a simple HC using DAM

    Instruments:
    Theodolite/or Total Station, flags, 3 range poles, tape

    Procedure
    1. Set any point as PI, then locate PC from PI
    2. Set theodolite at PC, and sight PI with 0 degree reading in your instrument (Back
    Tangent, line PC-PI – as reference line).
    3. Locate points observed (1, 2, 3, …. Last pt = PT) from PC respectively. Point 1
    coordinates (Δ, Ci)
    -To determine the location of point 1 (∆1, C1). Set ∆1 from the reference line to define
    the line of sight. With tape length = C1, adjust it until it is located in the line of sight,
    then mark the point with a flag.]

    -To determine the location of point 2 and other points to be observed, set ∆n (n=number
    of point to be observed) in the instrument used from reference line to define its line of
    sight. Then with the tape length C=20 m, align it to the line of sight. Mark the point with
    flag.

    Sketch
    Theory and Applications
    In circular curves, triangles are greatly involved in plotting the curve. The sides of
    the triangles determine the values of some of the elements of the circular curve. To calculate
    those values, trigonometry functions and identities, and similar triangles are used. The relation
    between the length of the sides and angles of the triangle is applied to obtain the
    measurements of the radius R, length of tangent T, external distance E, middle ordinate m,
    and length of long chord L. Ratio and proportion is also used in determining the length of
    curve and deflection angles. It is used when the relationship of values are in the same ratio.
    There are still many other formulas that can be used and manipulate to determine the
    unknown values of the elements a circular curve.
