Name: - Chavez, Aireen E. - Course & Section: - BSCE 2A - Subject: Fundamentals of Surveying Fieldwork #: - 1

The document outlines procedures for a student named Aireen E. Chavez to determine their pace factor and then use pacing to measure the distance between two points as part of a surveying fieldwork assignment. The student is instructed to first measure a course using a measuring tape to calculate their pace factor, and then use their pace factor to pace between two unmeasured points and calculate the distance without a measuring tape to test the accuracy of pacing.

PACING
Title

Learning Outcomes:
1. Discover the value of my pace factor.
2. Measure the distance between two or more points by pacing.

Instruments to be used:
1. Measuring tape
2. Markers
3. Range poles – at least two

Part I. Determine my Pace Factor (PF)

Procedures:
1. Select a course (mark both ends Pt. A and Pt. B)
a. It must be straight
b. 30 meters or more in length
c. The course must be level
2. Measure the course using measuring tape and record as taped distance TD. (see column 3 of
table 1)
3. Mount one range pole at the back of point A and one for point B to serve as guide in pacing.
4. Stand on point A (either heel or toe touching point A) facing range pole at point B. 5. Start
walking at natural pace from point A to point B with eyes focus at point B and silently count the
number of paces.
6. Record the number of paces. Include the fractional value of the last pace (divisible by ¼ or 0.25
pace)
7. Repeat procedures 3 and 4 starting at point B facing point A.
8. Refer to the table below.

1 A to B 51

2 B to A 50.50

3 A to B 30.00 m 51.50 51.60 paces 0.58 m/pace

4 B to A 52

5 A to B 53

Part II. Measure the distance by Pacing


Procedures:
1. Establish another course and mark as point C and point D
a. It must be straight
b. The course must be level
CAUTION: Do NOT measure pt. C and pt. D
2. Repeat the procedures 3 to 7 from Part 1 using point C and point D.
3. Refer to the table below for computation.
