Traverse angle adjustment

This worked a lot. I've had difficulty learning it from my professor but this made it way easier to understand. All I gotta do is convert my azimuths to Bearings. I appreciate it! ❤🔥

[@Drayex1997]

After trying to figure out my homework for like 4 hours, I came across your video and I ended up getting all my azimuths. Thank you sir.

[@AngelSanchez-du8ze]

Thank you sir for making these videos, all of your content has helped me to become a better land surveying in training.

Ve come now to understand the way to compute the closed traverse the WCB anticlockwise and clockwise thank you very much. Very nice explaining

[@repsaknivek]

If only I had discovered you earlier in the semester. Now I feel cheated out of my tuition. You're my instructor, for free, giving me the actual skills and I'm forced to give the university thousands of dollars because they are the mafia who control handing out the tickets (diplomas) needed for getting a job.

please why did u add 5 to the last angles and didnt u used the 4.2'' to add the angles

[@nickh5532]

so at 4:32 how exactly did you come up with 21" what is the conversion formula for the calc

[@harletzul]

Finally I got it at 35 yers of age :)) Thank you !

[@miracle3959]

i thought it mattered alot on whether you add or subtract 180 and the angle(im proabably doing it wrong). but i did it kinda randomly to keep the number within 360 and got it not returning to its origonal azimuth. sorry, random CE undergrad

[@salemsaleem8616]

Great job . easy and direct method to get Azimuth . thank you very much.

[@husseinalsalameen1657]

Thank you so much! The video was very helpful 🙌🏻

[@griffinchangwe6322]

Mr Todd you said when dealing with counterclockwise we have to -180 but from the way you calculated bc you added back bearing of AB to interior angle of B ?

[@armorvestrus4119]

I thought that surveyors just used compass directions from 0* to 90*? So why are the inside angles measured from 0* to 360, and why is the best way to measure the angles?

[@one_minute_today]

I think it is better to add the largest correction to the largest angle..it means add 5 seconds to 233’38’51’’

[@veyselyazici]

Hi Todd, I have a question. When we are doing traverse corrections we also correct latitudes and departures. That will in turn change the bearing angles of the sides slightly. How do we balance the angles and coordinates at the same time?

[@toddhorton6102]

You are correct. The traverse course bearings (or azimuths) after adjustment will differ by a few seconds from their original computed values. To determine the post-adjustment bearings, perform an inverse computation for each traverse leg using the adjusted points coordinates. The compass rule (Bowditch rule) adjustment in the video balances the measured angles first before adjusting latitudes and departures and thus the point coordinates. It is a two step process. To get true simultaneous adjustment, we can use the least squares adjustment process - not a manual process, but best done with a software application like Microsurvey Star*Net or Carlson SurvNet.

@@toddhorton6102 thanks.

[@myozone]

How about the exterior angles totalling 360 ?

[@evelinevelin6282]

Thanks alot you made very clear.

[@luisramos2521]

Thank you so much

[@livelaughlogs]

How do you get the bearing ?

[@ronaldodiaz8248]

Thanks!

[@mikenoel4953]

I'm lost on this math. I got 539 24 15. Where am I going wrong......

[@solomonaschalew3140]

thanks

Ok
