Example 7.2
Given The information in example 7.1 and
= 111 27' 45" dik = 318.10 m
Compute the horizontal coordinates of point k.
Solution
ij = 302 14' 29"
ik = ij + = 302 14' 29" + 111 27' 45" = 413 27' 29"
= 413 27' 29" - 360 = 53 42' 14"
Yk = 174410.56 + 318.10 sin(53 42' 14") = 174666.94 m
Xk = 181680.76 + 318.10 cos(53 42' 14") = 181869.06 m

7.2.3 Locating the North direction at a point
If the point lie to the left of line ij, then the coordinates of point p
can be calculated from the following equations:
Yp = Yi + dim sin ij + o1 sin (ij 90) = Yi + dim sin ij - o1 cos ij
Xp = Xi + dim cos ij + o1 cos (ij 90) = Xi + dim cos ij + o1 sin ij
If the point lie to the right of line ij, then the coordinates of point
k calculated from the following equations:
Yk = Yi + din sin ij + o2 sin (ij + 90) = Yi + din sin ij + o2 cos ij
Xk = Xi + din cos ij + o2 cos (ij + 90) = Xi + din cos ij - o2 sin ij
Example 7.3
Given the following horizontal coordinates for points i & j
Xi = 1000.00 m Yi = 1000.00 m
Xj = 975.00 m Yj = 1050.00 m
An edge of a building k is located at a distance of 30.00 m
and an offset of 10.00 m to the right of line ij. Compute the
coordinate of point k.

Yk = 1000.0 + 30.0 sin(116 33 54) + 10.0 cos(116 33 54)
= 1022.36 m
Yk = Yi + dik sin ik
Xk = Xi + dik cos ik

Xj = 6321.75 ft Yj = 5188.24 ft

Solution
Xj - Xi = 6321.75 5329.41 = 992.34 ft
Yj Yi = 5188.24 4672.66 = 515.58 ft
dij = (922.34) + (515.58) = 1118.29 ft
ij = tan-1 (992.34 / 515.58) = 62 32' 44"
ik = ij + = 62 32' 44" + 31 26' 30" = 93 59' 14"
180 - = 180 31 26' 30" 42 33' 41" = 105 59' 49"
dik = 1118.29 sin (42 33' 41) / sin (105 59' 49) = 786.86 ft
Xk = 5329.41 + 786.86 sin (93 59' 14" ) = 6114.37 ft
Yk = 4672.66 + 786.86 cos (93 59' 14" ) = 4617.95 ft

7.3 Traverse Surveying
Def: Traverse is one of the most commonly used
methods for determining the relative positions of a
number of survey points.
a- Open Traverse:
b- Closed Traverse:
7.3.3 Choice of Traverse Stations:
In order to meet the previous two conditions, the following corrections are performed:
1- Angle correction:
a- Closed loop traverse:
For a closed traverse of n sides,
sum of internal angles = (n 2) 180
error = sum of measured angles ((n 2) 180)
correction = - error / no of internal angles
b- For both loop and connecting closed traverse: If the azimuth of the last line
in the traverse is known, then the error = c (calculated azimuth) - n (known azimuth)
correction / angle = - / n
the corrected azimuth i = i (initially computed azimuth) i ( / n)
2- Position correction:
IF the calculated and known coordinates of last point are:
(Xc,Yc) and (Xn,Yn) respectively, then
Closure error in x-direction (x) = Xc Xn
Closure error in y-direction (y) = Yc Yn
Closure error in the position of the last points = (x + y)
How to correct and distribute this error?
Compass (Bowditch ) Rule: used for position correction as follow:
Correction to departure of line ij (x) = -(length of line ij / total length of traverse)( x)
Correction to departure of line ij (y) = -(length of line ij / total length of traverse)( y)
