In making a survey for a new road, the intersection point of two straights was found to be inaccessible. Four points were therefore selected two on each straight (P and Q on the first straight and R and S on the second straight), and the distance between Q and R was found to be 122.20 m. The angle PQR was 169°47’40” and the angle QRS 148°22’20”. The radius of the curve is 200 m and the station of Q is at 2+818.   Answer the following questions: 1.What is the length of the back tangent?                    2.What is the stationing of the vertex?                   3.What is the stationing of the beginning of the curve?               4.What is the length of the curve? 5.What is the stationing of the end of the curve?

Highway Surveys and Location

Surveying is an operation in the civil engineering domain that requires collecting and identifying data regarding an area of land and topography. The data that is collected can be helped to plan and undertake the construction process. Civil engineers perform surveys to gather three-dimensional information regarding a particular area. Engineers specify several points on the surface of the earth and relationship between points, and the distance and angles between the points are evaluated. The data from this evaluation guides in drawing plans regarding buildings and structures.
