This field work entitled,
Determination
of
the
Rectilinear Area by Radial
Traversing aims to acquire the
knowledge in getting the area of a
rectilinear field by staking a
central station; to learn how to
read the horizontal angle of
transit; to improve skills in the
analysis of the area of right
triangles and to develop the ability
to
lead
or
to
follow
the
designated/desired task of ones
party or group and to be fully
responsible in the performance of
the assigned task.

A Traverse is a succession of
straight lines along or through the
area to be surveyed.
The
directions and lengths of these
lines
are
determined
by
measurements taken in the field.
Purpose of a traverse A traverse is
currently the most common of
several possible methods for
establishing a series or networkof
monuments with known positions
on the ground. Such monuments
are referred to as horizontal
control points and collectively,
they comprise the horizontal
control for the project.
In the past, triangulation

recently in many places by GPS
networks. (GPS will be discussed
in more detail later.) GPS and
other methods capitalizing on new
technology may eventually replace
traversing as a primary means of
establishing horizontal control.
Meanwhile, most surveys covering
relatively small areas will continue
to rely on traverses.
Whatever
method
is
employed to establish horizontal
control, the result is to assign
rectangular coordinates to each
control point within the survey.
This allows each point to be
related to every other point with
respect to distance and direction,
as well as to permit areas to be
calculated when needed.

using
various
equipment combinations, but they
are ideally suited for the modern
total station instrument connected
with a data collector. Radial
surveying techniques are also
suited for the one-person crew
using a robotic total station. Each
point is identified by number in
the data file, and instructions are
given to the instrument in terms of
commands, point numbers, and, in
some
cases,
attributes.

Conclusions:
In surveying, traverse is
defined as a succession of straight
lines along or through the area to
be surveyed. The directions and
lengths

Research:
RADIAL TRAVERSE
A lot of searches for traverse and
how to traverse find this blog. So
far I have had a bit of a rant about
what a pain traversing is and how
TheoLt helps me get it right. The
handful of good textbooks on this
and an excellent online guide by
the US DoD education dept. take
you though the classic measure
1st and compute after method
and expect you to compute long
hand.
Been there, done that (even got
one published) but, to be honest,
its a tiresome business and I now
trust the whole maths game to
software. I can now build a
network of stations for building
survey swiftly and produce all the
required reports as I go along- this
method has the huge advantage
of letting me see the blunders as I
make them and take appropriate
action to keep things on the
level.
