Data Source and Methodology
The calculations are based on standard surveying practices as outlined in the ASCE standards. ASCE 7-22. All calculations strictly adhere to these guidelines.
The Formula Explained
Traverse = Distance × cos(Angle)
Glossary of Terms
- Angle: The angle of the traverse line in degrees.
- Distance: The length of the traverse line in meters.
- Traverse: The computed horizontal distance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a traverse in surveying?
A traverse is a series of connected lines whose lengths and directions are determined by field measurements and used to establish control networks.
Why is angle measurement important in traverse calculations?
Angles are crucial for determining direction and accuracy in plotting traverse lines.
