Laboratory Exercise No. 5


Problem: MEASURING OBSTRUCTED DISTANCES AB BY USE OF TAPE
Objective:

a) To determine the horizontal length of a line AB using SWING OFFSETS METHOD by


use of Tape.
b) To determine the horizontal length of a line AB using PARALLEL LINES METHOD by
use of Tape.
c) To determine the horizontal length of a line AB using SIMILAR TRIANGLES METHOD
by use of Tape.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. INSTRUMENTS AND ACCESSORIES: 30-m or 100-ft steel tape, chaining pins, range poles,
pegs or hubs.
B. PROCEDURE:
1. By Swing Offsets Method.
To find the distance AB by the swing offset method, the head chainman attached
the end of the tape to one end of the line as at B and describes an arc with
center B and radius 100 m. The rear chainman stationed at A lines in the end of
the tape with some distant object as 0 and directs the setting of pins at points
a and b where the end of the tape crossed line A0. A point C midway between a b
lies on the perpendicular CB. A pin is set at C, and the distances BC and CA are
measured to obtain the necessary data for computing the length of AB.

2. By Parallel Lines Method.


If the necessary distance from the line AB is short, perpendicular AA’ = BB’ are
erected by either using 3:4:5 method of the chord bi-section method to clear the
obstacle. The line A’B’ is then chained, and its length is taken as that of AB.

3. By Similar Triangles Method.
Let C be a point from A and B are visible. AC and BC are measured. CD and CE
bears to CB: that is CD/CA = CE/CB. It will generally be convenient to make this
a simple ratio such as 1/2 of 1/3. The triangles ACB and DCE are similar. DE is
measured and AB is computed.
