    The document describes an experiment to conduct a compass survey along a closed traverse to record bearings and lengths. The procedure involves setting up the compass at station A, taking bearings and measuring lengths of lines AB, BC, CD, DE, and EA. The forward and back bearings are checked to be 180 degrees apart at each station. Measurements are recorded in a tabular form with line, length, forward bearing, back bearing, and remarks. The included angles are calculated and checked to sum to (2n-4)x90 degrees, where n is the number of sides of the traverse.

    TRAVERSING WITH PRISMATIC COMPASS AND CHAIN – CLOSED


    TRAVERSE COVERING THE AREA (Given) RECORDING

    Surveyor: Date:
    Helpers: Time:

    OBJECTIVE : To conduct compass survey along the closed traverse.

    INSTRUMENTS: Prismatic compass, chain, ranging rods.


    N E
    SKETCH: D

    PROCEDURE:
    B
    » Fix the closed traverse A B C D E .
    » Set up the compass at the station ‘A’.
    » Perform the temporary adjustments.
    » Sight the object at ‘B’ and note down the FB of line AB and measure the distance.
    » Sight the object at E and note down the BB of EA.
    » Sight the instrument to station ‘B’ performs all the temporary adjustments.
    » Sight the object at ‘A’ and take the ‘BB’ of ‘AB’.
    » Take ‘FB’ of ‘BC’ and measure the length of ‘BC’.
    » Check whether the difference of ‘FB’ and ‘BB’ is 180º or not, at all stations.
    » Continue the same process all at other stations.

    TABULAR FORM FOR CLOSED TRAVERSE


    Sl.No. Line Length F.B. B.B Remarks

    FORMULA: Included angle = B.B of previous line – F.B of next line.

    CHECK: The sum of the included angles should be equals to (2n-4) x 90º
    Where ‘n’ is number of sides of the traverse.
