LINEAR METHODS OF
RANGING
TUTORIAL
1.Determine the radius of the curve if it
is designated as a 30 curve on a 30m
arc
2.If the radius of the curve is 380m,

what is its degree of designation on a
20m arc
3.If a curve is designated as a 40 curve

on a 30m arc, find the tangent
distance, length of long chord, length
of the arc, apex distance and mid
LINEAR METHODS OF
RANGING
TUTORIAL
4. If the tangent distance of a curve is
235.6m and the deflection angle is
420, calculate the other parameters
of the curve, such as length of long
chord, length of the curve, apex
distance and mid ordinate.
5. A simple circular curve has a radius

of 800m and a deflection angle of
360. Tabulate the ordinates from the
chord to set out the curve
ANGULAR METHODS OF
RANGING
1.Rankines Method of Deflection

Angles
2.Two Theodolite Method

ANGULAR METHODS OF
RANGING
1.Rankines Method of Deflection
Angles

RANKINES METHOD OF DEFLECTION
ANGLES
Angle IT1P = Deflection angle =
Angle subtended at the centre by arc T1P = 2 x

Defl. angle = 2
Assuming Arc Length T1P is nearly equal to
Chord Length T1P = c1
c1 = R x 2 /180
= 90 c1/ R (degrees)
Since the angles are small, convert them in to

minutes
= (90/) x 60 c1/R (minutes) = 1718.9 c1/R
If the chord values are 10, 15, 20 or 30m, the

value of angles will be as follows BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus

TWO THEODOLITE METHOD




TACHEOMETRIC METHOD
Similar to Rankhines Method
Distance Tachometric Equation

RANKHINES METHOD - NUMERICAL
A Curve has a radius of 400m and

a deflection angle of 400. The
chainage of T1 is 1804.25m.
Compute and tabulate the angles
and theodolite readings to set out
the curve using Rankhines
Method.

= (90/) x 60 c1/R (minutes) =

1718.9 c1/R

Step 1: Decide about the

chord Lengths
Round off the first chord length to the nearest 20m,

then proceed with 20m each (chord length could be
10m, 20m or 30m)

Step 2: Calculate Tangential

Angles
= (90/) x 60 c1/R (minutes) = 1718.9 c1/R


Step 3: Calculate Deflection

Angles


Step 4
Calculate Theodolite
Readings and Distance from
T1


Step 5
Calculate all for the other
points also


TWO THEODOLITE METHOD -
NUMERICAL
A Curve of radius 300m is to be set out with

2 theodolites. The deflection angle of the
curve is 360. Tabulate the angles and
theodolite readings, assuming that both
the theodolites are turned clockwise to
locate the points. If the angles at the
instrument at the second tangent point T2
are to be measured from the point of
intersection, as T1 cant be clearly seen
from T2, list the angles to be set at the
instrument at T2. The chainage of tangent
point T is 1083.65m. BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus
NUMERICAL
From T1, angles are measured from the

tangent line (line joining tangent point
and point of intersection)
From T2, angles are measures from long

chord (Line joining two tangent points)
In this case, there is problem of visibility

between T1 and T2. Hence, from T2 also,
the angles are calculated with respect to
tangent line BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus
NUMERICAL
Step 1: Decide about the

chord Lengths
Round off the first chord length to the nearest 20m,

then proceed with 20m each (chord length could be
10m, 20m or 30m

TACHEOMETRIC METHOD -
NUMERICAL
A curve of radius 400m and deflection

angle 300 is to be set using a
tachometer. If the tachometer constants
are 100 and 0, list the staff intercepts to
locate points on the curve at 20m
intervals. The chainage of tangent point
T1 is 1326.78m

NUMERICAL
Data Given:
Radius = 400m
Deflection Angle = 300
Length of the arc = ?
Length of Chord = ?
Chainage of T1 = 1326.78m
Length of first chord = 13.22m
Further, there will be 8 chords of 20m
and a shorter chord at the end

Radius = 400m
Deflection Angle = 300

Length of first chord = 13.22m
Further, there will be 8 chords of 20m
and a shorter chord at the end.
