UVSC BASIC SURVEYINGpresents . . . “GETTING YOUR BEARINGS”
CALCULATING BEARING LESSON OBJECTIVES After completing this instructional unit, students will be able to . . . Recognize both open and closed traverses. Recognize and understand the difference between interior and deflection angles in a traverse. Understand the terminology used to define angle direction. Understand surveying quadrants. Understand how bearings and azimuths are measured and be able to convert one to the other. Mathematically adjust field angles. Use angles to calculate bearings around a piece of property. Check the accuracy of bearing calculations.
BEARINGS 1 – Open & closed traverses 2 – Angular closure of closed traverses 3 – Bearings and Azimuths – definitions 4 – Bearing/Azimuth conversion 5 – Calculating bearings
D E F A B B C C D E A F G TRAVERSE TYPES • Open traverses • Closed traverses
TRAVERSE USES • Open traverses • Define a path from one point to another • Centerlines of: • Roads • Pipelines • Utilities (sewer, water, power, telephone, cable, etc.) • Closed traverses • Enclose an area • Boundaries of: • Properties • Easements • Rights-of-way (highways, railroads, etc.)
TRAVERSE ANGLES • Open traverse angles cannot be balanced because they do not add up to a specific number. • Closed traverse angles must add up to a specific number depending upon type of angles measured and number of angles.
ANGLE TYPES • Interior Angles • Zero on backsight, turn to foresight. • May turn right (clockwise) or left (counterclockwise) directions. • Deflection Angles • Zero on backsight, flop telescope, turn to foresight. • May turn right (clockwise) or left (counterclockwise) directions. Direction is determined after ‘scope is flopped.

CALCULATING BEARINGS Bearings are calculated by adding and subtracting angles • Balance angles (closed traverses only). • Determine the basis of bearing for the traverse. • Determine direction to proceed around the traverse. • Determine which station to use for first calculation. • Sketch each station and calculate bearings around the traverse (see following slides). • Calculate beginning bearing to check accuracy.
