INTRODUCTION:
What is the deflection-angle method?
The deflection method is the premier curve location method for use
when running gradelines. It allows you to check special situations, such as
sharp, v-shaped draws to see if a particular curve will fit to the location
without undue cuts or fills. It can also be used to check gradeline to see if
the deflection-angle exceeds a critical value, meaning that the minimum
radius rule may not be met.
DISCUSSION:

Field work no. 4 is entitled Laying a simple curve on uneven ground
using transit and theodolite. Its aim is for the students to be able to lay a
simple curve on uneven ground, to be able to lay a simple curve using
double-deflection angle method, and to master the use of transit and
theodolite in laying a simple curve.

In this fieldwork, two groups will work together. One of the groups will
be starting on the PC and the other one will be starting on the PT.

Before laying out the curve, the professor will give some datas for the
computations for the other remaining datas that needed. The datas that
should be computed are d1, d2, R, T, C, Lc, Pc, Pt, C1, and C2.

After computing the datas set up the theodolite on the vertex and
locate your Pc and Pt. When done locating, transfer the theodolite on Pc
and the other transit will be set-up on the Pt. And proceed in laying the
curve. The curve should meet on the center to know that the datas and
the procedure in laying the curve is correct.
CONCLUSION:

From the objectives of this field work, we were able to lay the simple
curve using the double-deflection angle method. This method can help you
check if the curve you are doing are correct or wrong, either in the datas
computed or in the process of making the curve.

As for using the theodolite in laying simple curve, we were able to
practice using it again and this time it is easier to use the theodolite
because we are more familiar unlike when we use it on the first field work.
