tie-lines Explanation: "Método con Lados de Liga: Cuando el terreno encerrado en la poligonal es de tal naturaleza que no permite el empleo de los métodos de levantamiento hasta ahora descritos, por la existencia de accidentes naturales o artificiales que impidan ver tres vértices consecutivos del polígono de base, el procedimiento indicado en tales circunstancias es el conocido con el nombrede método de lados de liga, que consiste en medir los lados del polígono de base y además las líneas que ligan dos puntos pertenecientes a lados contiguos." Práctica Topografía III: Levantamiento con Cinta por el Método de Lados de Liga http://es.scribd.com/doc/118759723/Levantamiento-con-Cinta-p... "Surveying by Tie-lines is a modification of the method explained in the last chapter. It frequently happens that it is impossible to measure the diagonals of a field of many sides, in consequence of obstacles to measurements, such as woods, water, houses, &c. In such cases, "Tie-lines," (so called because they tie the sides together), are employed as substitutes for diagonals." A Treatise on Land Surveying (1855), pp. 66-67 http://books.google.es/books?id=MSDyb7lnWMEC&pg=PA67&lpg=PA6... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2013-03-24 09:44:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- See the diagram and description of "levantamiento con lados de liga" on p. 4 of this document: http://www.cobachsonora.net/modulos_reforma_curricular/Modul... and compare it with the paragraph and diagram in the second source cited above, on p. 66 just after the passage quoted. It is clearly the same method. |
