Module-3_OMITTED-MEASUREMENTS

The document discusses omitted measurements in closed traverses, explaining that while analytical methods can determine missing lengths or directions, it is generally undesirable due to potential errors. It outlines various cases of omitted measurements, including those involving one side, adjoining sides, and non-adjacent sides, along with principles for solving them. Sample problems illustrate the calculation of latitudes, departures, lengths, and bearings for omitted measurements.

MODULE 3 Chapter 3

OMITTED MEASUREMENTS
3.1 OMITTED MEASUREMENTS
During field observation, it is not possible or practical sometimes to determine the length
or direction of a line (or lines) within a closed traverse. These missing quantities may be
determined analytically to obtain a complete set of notes for the traverse as long as they
do not exceed two in number. However, the practice of omitting measurements for one or
more sides of a closed traverse and solving for them is not a desirable one and should be
avoided. The trouble with such calculation is that it tends to throw all possible errors and
mistakes into the computation of the lengths and directions.

The following are some of the more common types of omitted measurements:
1. OMITTED MEASUREMENTS ARE IN ONE SIDE
CASE: Length and bearing of one side unknown

2. OMITTED MEASUREMENTS INVOLVING ADJOINING SIDES


1st CASE: Length of one side and bearing of another side unknown
2nd CASE: Length of two sides unknown
3rd CASE: Bearing of two sides unknown

3. OMITTED MEASUREMENTS INVOLVING NON-ADJACENT SIDES


1st CASE: Length of one side and bearing of another side unknown
2nd CASE: Length of two sides unknown
3rd CASE: Bearing of two sides unknown

 FIRST PRINCIPLE: A Line may be moved from one location to second location parallel
with the first and its latitude and departure will remain unchanged.
 SECOND PRINCIPLE: The algebraic sum of the departures and latitudes of any system of
lines performing a closed traverse must be zero regardless of the order in which the lines are
placed,
