A surveying guide to spiral-curve offsets

Jim Crume’s guide addresses the calculation of parallel offsets to a centerline spiral curve. Its subject is a specific surveying problem: the book presents a method and formulas for calculating what it describes as a true parallel offset curve. The narrow technical focus makes the work a practical reference on spiral-curve geometry rather than a broad introduction to surveying.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Surveyors working with spiral curves and offset calculations
  • Readers seeking a focused technical guide to surveying formulas

Book overview

The Myth that "there is no such thing as a true spiral curve offset" has finally been busted. A 35+ year endeavor has resulted in a new method and formulas to calculate a true parallel offset curve to a centerline spiral curve.
