In order to correct these angles, the rules are used Surveying Engineering
Deflection angles:
Are measured either right (clockwise) or left (counterclockwise) from the
extension of the back line to the forward station .
Deflection angles are always less than 180 degree , and the direction of
turning must be specified in the field book .
Direction of a line
Direction of a line is it is horizontal angle from an established line of
reference , called reference meridian .

Reference line (meridian) is either true (Geographic) or Magnetic meridian or
grid meridian .
If neither of these can be secured readily , an assumed meridian may be
selected .
• True meridian for any point on the earths surface is the great circle ,
projected on the earth, which passes through the point and north and
south geographic poles.

Therefore; to calculate bearing 𝜃 AB. a sketch of the line AB must be made in order to identify

Traverse Computations
1- What is Traverse?
Definition: Traversing is that type of survey in which a number of
connected survey lines form the framework and the directions and lengths
of the survey lines are measured with the help of an angle (or direction)
measuring instrument and a tape or chain respectively.

The R.A of a traverse work is computed in normal fraction i.e. (1:5000, 1:10000),
then compared with known standards. If the R.A is less than that given by
standards, then accept the traverse computations results. And if R.A. is greater
than that given by standards, the work should be repeated.

For any closed traverse the linear error (error of closure ) must be distributed
throughout the traverse to close the figure.
This is true even though the closure is negligible in plotting the traverse at map
scale.
Arbitrary method:
The linear error of closure is distributed arbitrarily according to the surveyors
analysis of prevailing field conditions to close the figure mathematically (to
make the algebraic sum of departures and latitudes equals zero ).

2- Compute azimuths (bearings)
Given AZAF = 70ᵒ00’00’’
AZAB = AZAF + ∢A
AZAB = 70ᵒ00’00’’ + 115ᵒ11’10’’ = 185ᵒ11’10’’
Then for all sides
AZBC = 100ᵒ11’10’’,
AZCD = 50ᵒ00’10’’
AZDE = 360ᵒ36’00’’ or 00ᵒ36’10’’
AZEF = 291ᵒ05’40’’

∆N= L*cos (AZ)
For line AB
∆EAB= L*sin (AZAB) = 85.874*sin (185ᵒ11’10’’) = -7.762m
∆NAB= L*cos (AZAB) =85.874*cos (185ᵒ11’10’’) = -85.522m
Then compute for all sides as above
∆EBC= +129.238m, ∆ECD= +46.246m, ∆EDE= +0.602m, ∆EEF= -98.285m,
∆EFA= -70.003

Closed connecting traverse (Linked Traverse) Duhok
Surveying Engineering
• General
In this part, computational differences between closed loop and link traverses
will be covered. Unlike a loop traverse, a link traverse does not close back on
itself. In order for a link traverse to be closed, the positions of its endpoints
must be known.
The endpoints must be known either relative to each other.

• Angles; Misclosure & Adjustment Duhok
Surveying Engineering
Concept
Because a link traverse doesn't close back on itself there are no interior angles
sum against which to check.
Typically, angles on a link traverse are either consistently turned in the same
direction, Figure (a), or deflection angles are measured, Figure (b).
The University of
Duhok
Surveying Engineering
In order to check angle closure, the traverse must start and end with known
directions, Figure (c).

• Traverse Closure; Adjustment Surveying Engineering
Similarities; Differences
Latitudes and departures are computed same as those for a loop traverse:
Dep. = L. sin < 𝐴𝑧.
Lat. = L. cos(< 𝐴𝑧. )
Where the two differ is in how their closure is determined and adjustments
made.
On a loop traverse, the closure condition is:
Ʃ Dep. = 0 Ʃ Lat. = 0
But because a link traverse does not close back on itself, that condition does
not apply. Instead, we need to know the location, relative or absolute, of the
traverse's end points.

the closure condition is
= 𝐸 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑑 − 𝐸 𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑛
= 𝑁 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑑 − 𝑁 𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑛
Linear closure and precision would be determined just as for a loop traverse.
