Azimuth and Bearing 1 1

This document discusses calculating azimuths and bearings for a loop system. It shows: 1) How to calculate forward and back azimuths between points on the loop by adding or subtracting angles and 1800. 2) How to determine the bearing between points by comparing the azimuth to the quadrant it falls in. 3) An example calculation of azimuths and bearings for a loop system with 6 points is worked out step-by-step and checked.

Calculate Azimuth and Bearing

for the loop system shown below

First check Summation of


Internal Angle is =
å I.A.=(n-2)*1800
=3*1800 =5400

Use (Counter Clockwise


Direction) CCW method
Back Azimuth (Baz)
Forward Azimuth (F Az)
(B Az= 180 F Az)
In this Example
Az AB = is Forward Azimuth
Az BA = Back Ward Azimuth

300
Azimuth Calculation
Azimuth and Back Azimuth Calculation
AzAB = 3000
AzBA = AzAB – 1800, (Az AB >1800) = 3000 – 1800 = 1200
AzBC = AzBA + < B (< B = 1000) = 1200 + 1000= 2200
AzCB = AzBC – 1800 = 2200 – 1800 = 400
AzCD = AzCB + < C = 400+1250 = 1650
AzDC = AzCD +180, (AzCB < 1800) = 1650+1800= 3450
AzDE = AzDC + < D = 3450 + 1170 = 4620 (>3600) = 4620-3600=1020

300 AzED = AzDE + 1800 = 1020 + 1800 = 2820


AzEA = AzED + <E = 2820+1230 = 4050-3600= 450
AzAE = AzEA + 1800 = 450+1800 = 2250
AzAB = AzAE + < A= 2250 + 750 = 3000 (Checked !)

Forward Bearing Calculation
S Direction of Azimuth is similar to Direction of Bearing
AzAB =3000 =NW = Be = 3600-Az = 3600-3000 = 600, N 600 W
AzBC =2200 =NW = Be = 3600-Az = 3600-2200 = 1400-900=500 , N 500 W
AzCD =1650 = SW = Be = Az – 1800 = 1650 - 1800 = -150 + 900 = 750 , S 750 W
AzDE =1020 = SE = Be = 1800 – Az = 1800-1020 = 780 , S 780 E
AzEA =450 = NE = Be = Az = 450 , N 450 E

Back ward Bearing Calculation


Bearing and Azimuth AzBA = SE= 1200 = Be = 1800 – Az = 1800 – 1200 = S 600 E
Quadrant (Q) Azimuth = Az
Bearing = Be AzCB = SE= 400 =Be = 1800 – Az = 1800 – 400 = 1400-900= S 500 E
In NW Q. Az = Be AzDC = NE= 3450 = Be = Az = (3450 – 3*900) = 750 = N 750 W
In NW Q. Az = 3600-Be
In SE Q. Az= 1800-Be AzED = NW= 2820 =Be = 3600-Az = 3600-2820 = 780=N 780 W
In SW Q. Az =1800+ Be AzAE = SW = 2250 = Be = Az – 1800 = 2250 - 1800 = 450 = S 450 W

Calculate Azimuth and Bearing
for the loop system shown below

First check Summation of Internal


Angle is =
å I.A.=(n-2)*1800
=2*1800 =3600

Use (Counter Clockwise Direction)


CCW method
Back Azimuth (Baz)
Forward Azimuth (F Az)
(B Az= 180 F Az)
In this Example
Az AB = is Forward Azimuth
Az BA = Back Ward Azimuth
Calculate Azimuth and Bearing
for the loop system shown below

Azimuth and Back Azimuth Calculation


AzAB = 600
AzBA = AzAB + 1800, (Az AB <1800) = 600 + 1800 = 2400
AzBC = AzBA + < B (< B = 1100) = 2400 + 1100= 3500
AzCB = AzBC – 1800 = 3500 – 1800 = 1700
AzCD = AzCB + < C = 1700+400 = 2100
AzDC = AzCD - 180, (AzCB > 1800) = 2100 - 1800= 300
AzDA = AzDC + < D = 300 + 1300 = 1600
AzAD = AzDA + 1800 = 450+1800 = 3400
AzAB = AzAD + < A= 3400 + 800 = 4200 -3600 = 600
AzAB= 600 (Checked !)
Do the same for Bearing and Back bearing
Work It Well !
