HORIZONTAL SURVEY COMPUTATIONS
4.0 semester hours equivalent (non-transferable)
Recommended Prerequisite(s): SURVEY TRIGONOMETRY

This course applies concepts learned in Survey Trigonometry to typical surveying problems. Topics include networks, intersections, resections, traverse adjustments, circular and spiral curves. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to compute solutions to a variety of survey-related problems.

• Networks
• Triangulation and Trilateration
• Intersections -- Bearing-Bearing, Bearing-Distance, Distance-Distance and Offset
• Resections (three-point) -- Geometric and Trigonometric Solutions
• Traverse Adjustment Methods
• Angle and Azimuth Balancing
• Bowditch and Crandall Adjustments
• Circular Curves
• Nomenclature, Basic Structure, Formula Manipulation and Stationing
• Layout by Deflection Angle and Subchord
• Layout by Tangent Distance and Offset
• Reverse, Compound, and Location by Three-Point Method
• Spiral Curves
• Nomenclature, Basic Structure, Formula Manipulation and Stationing
• Layout by Deflection Angle and Subchord
• Layout by Tangent Distance and Offset
