Lab Report Taping

This document describes procedures for a surveying laboratory exercise using a steel tape to lay out angles and establish perpendicular and parallel lines. The objectives are to familiarize students with using a steel tape to measure angles and establish geometric relationships between lines. The procedures describe laying an acute angle by tape, measuring an angle by tape, establishing a perpendicular line from a point on a given line, establishing a perpendicular from a point outside a given line, and establishing a parallel line through a given point. Calculations are required for each procedure to be included in the report.

Laboratory Exercise No. 2

LAYING AND MEASURING ANGLES AND ESTABLISHING PERPENDICULAR AND PARALLEL


LINES BY TAPE ONLY

I. Introduction
II. Objectives
To familiarize students with the use of steel tape in measuring and laying angles and establishing
perpendicular and parallel lines.
III. Location

Any place with even ground surface

IV. Instrument and Accessories


1 steel tape
5 range poles
3 marking pins
V. Procedure
A. Laying out a given horizontal acute angle by tape:
1. Drive a marking pin at any point (A) to be the vertex of the angle
2. From point A, lay out 10 m distance and mark the end with a marking pin and designate it as
point B.
3. From point A, lay out a distance of 10 times the cosine of the given angel, make a loop at the
end to have the full meter mark and connect the other end of the tape to point B with a
distance equal to 10 times the sine of the given angle. Then mark the loop point with marking
pin and designate it as point C.
4. The angle laid is <BAC which is equal to the given angle.

B. Measuring a horizontal angle by tape:

1. Use the same point A of letter A as the vertex of the angle.


2. Place the two range poles at two separate points such that the three points will form a triangle.
Designate the two points as B and C. The angle to be measured is <BAC.
3. With a 10 m distance from point A, set points along AB and AC and mark them with marking
pins as points b and c respectively.
4. Measure the distance between b and c.
5. Compute for <BAC: sin½ <BAC = bc/2 (10) = bc/20.

C. Establishing perpendicular line to a given line from a given point on the line:

1. Use the same point A of letter A as the given point on the line and designate it as also point A.
2. Marking point A as the given point on the line, place the two range poles at two separate points
(D & E) to establish the given time.
3. Place firmly the zero end of the tape at point A.
4. Unwind the tape while moving to the direction more or less perpendicular to the given line.
5. After unwinding up to approximately 39 m make a 1 m loop joining the 16 m and 17 m marks.
6. Continue unwinding the tape, this time moving towards the given line to form a 3-4-5 triangle.
7. After unwinding up to approximately 39 m, make a 1 m loop using 37 m and 38 m marks.
8. Continue unwinding the tape in the direction toward the first point A.
9. The 50 m mark of the tape shall be held together with the zero mark at point A.
10. Pull the tape taut until the 37 m and 38 m loop point is in position in the given line with the
guidance of the two range poles.
11. Place marking pins B and C at the two loop points.
12. Line AB is perpendicular to line AC or line AB is perpendicular to line DE.

D. Establishing a perpendicular line to a given line from a point outside the line:

1. Consider point A as instructed as the given point outside the line.


2. Place the two range poles at two designated separate points (E & F), both away from point A to
establish the given line.
3. Hold firmly the zero end of the tape at point A.
4. Unwind the tape up to the length which is more than sufficient to intersect the given line at two
separate points. Consider this as the radius of an arc say R= 10 m.
5. Swing the tape and mark with marking pins the points of intersection with the given line.
Designate them as B and C.
6. Measure the distance BC and mark with marking pin the mid-point of BC. Designate the point
as D.
7. Line AD is perpendicular to line BC or line AD is perpendicular to line EF.

E. Establishing a line through a given point parallel to a given line:

1. Set point A as designated by your instructor as the point through which the line will be
established.
2. Place the two range poles at two separate points, both away from point A, to establish the
given line (E & F).
3. Hold the zero end of the tape at point A.
4. Unwind the tape up to say 16 m or any length, depending upon the distance of the given point
to the given line.
5. Mark with marking pin the point of intersection with the given line. Designate the point as point
B.
6. Mark also with marking pin the midpoint of the tape.
7. Let one member hold the tape at the midpoint.
8. Transfer the two ends of the tape (A & B) in opposite directions with the former B end swinging
on the other side intersecting the given line; the tape shall be straight with midpoint still at its
original position. Designate this new point at the given line as point C.
9. Align point C with the midpoint up to the end of the tape. Mark with marking pin the zero end of
the tape and designate the point as point D.
10. The established line AD is parallel to given line EF.

VI. CALCULATIONS
A. LAYING CUT A GIVEN HORIZONTAL ACUTE ANGLE BY TAPE
