Calculation example - Find the bearing of an apparent dip (two symmetrical to full dip directions), given the rate and direction of full dip

Written by  TheCivilEngineer.org

Given the rate and direction of full dip of a plane or seam, find the bearing of an apparent dip.

Two directions noted, in which a given apparent dip occurs.

Calculation example - Find the bearing of an apparent dip (two symmetrical to full dip directions), given the rate and direction of full dip

Known values:

Full dip direction = α

Full dip rate = 1 in x

Apparent dip rate = 1 in y

Solution:

Bearing AC and Bearing AD

36 capture 1

Thus:

36 capture 2
