    Control surveying : To establish horizontal and vertical positions of control points. Land surveying : To determine the boundaries and areas of parcels of land, also

    known as property survey, boundary survey or cadastral survey. Topographic survey : To prepare a plan/ map of a region which includes natural as

    well as and man-made features including elevation. Engineering survey : To collect requisite data for planning, design and execution of

    engineering projects. Three broad steps are1) Reconnaissance survey : To explore site conditions and availability of

    infrastructures.2) Preliminary survey : To collect adequate data to prepare plan /map of area

    to be used for planning and design.3) Location survey : To set out work on the ground for actual construction /

    execution of the project. Route survey : To plan, design, and laying out of route such as highways, railways,

    canals, pipelines, and other linear projects. Construction surveys : Surveys which are required for establishment of points, lines,

    grades, and for staking out engineering works (after the plans have been preparedand the structural design has been done).

    Astronomic surveys : To determine the latitude, longitude (of the observation station)and azimuth (of a line through observation station) from astronomical observation.

    Mine surveys : To carry out surveying specific for opencast and underground miningpurposes.

    1. Main Survey Station:Point where two sides of a main triangle meet

    2. Tie stations / Subsidiary stations:

    These are stations selected on main survey lines for running auxiliary lines.

    3. Base Line:Longest of the main survey lines- is the main reference line for fixing the positions of various stations and

    also to fix the directions of other lines

    Caution: Accuracy of the entire triangulation critically depends on thismeasurement hence measure carefully

    4. Check Line:used in the field to check the accuracy of the measurements made

    5. Tie Line:Chain line joining the tie stations and subsidiary stations

    6. Offset:While survey is carried out, important details such as boundaries, fences,

    buildings and towers are located with respect to main chain lines by means oflateral measurements. The two types of representing (called OFFSETS)

    SURVEYORS COMPASS

    Used with a chain when traversing Provides a relatively quick method of measuring horizontal directions in surveying

    The surveyor's compass is usually the larger and more accurate instrument generally used on a stand or tripod. The prismatic compass is often a small instrument which is held in the hand

    for observing, and is therefore employed for less accurate work.

    BEARING

  • 8/2/2019 UNIT - I Basic Civil and Mech.

    33/53

    Bearing is the horizontal angle between the reference meridian and survey line

    1) TRUE BEARING:

    * True bearing of a line is the angle which a line makes with the true

    north /geographicalnorth

    * measured always in CLOCKWISE direction

    * range of measurement: 0 - 360

    2) MAGNETIC BEARING:

    * angle a line makes with magnetic north

    * measured in CLOCKWISE direction

    * range of measurement: 0 - 360

    3) WHOLE CIRCLE BEARING (W.C.B)

    * any angle measured in between 0 - 360 directly

    * The magnetic and true bearing are just whole circle bearings.

    4) REDUCED BEARING (R.B) / QUADRANTAL BEARING

    * Based on Quadrantal system

    * wherein any angle is measured with respect to North South line,towards East or West

    (Refer Dia.)

    BEARING

  • 8/2/2019 UNIT - I Basic Civil and Mech.

    34/53

    5) FORE BEARING (F.B):* Angle measured from a survey station to another station* in the direction in which survey is conducted

    6) BACK BEARING (B.B):* Bearing taken from next station to its preceding station, from

    which the fore bearing was taken.

    RULES FOR CONVERSION OF W.C.B R.B

    1) WCB = 0 - 360 ; RB : (0 - 90, Quadrant) eg. N 2030 E2) O for WCB starts from NORTH, CLOCKWISE.3) Always take RB with respect to NORTH - SOUTH line4) In RB, to convert FB BB or vice versa,

    Replace N S, SN, EW, W E, (without changing the

    numerical values)

    RULE for converting BB to FB: BB = FB 180 { +ve if FB < 180,- ve if FB > 180}

    35/53

    TRAVERSING WITH COMPASS AND CHAIN

    In Compass Surveying, instrument is set at each stationsuccessively

    FB and BB of each line are noted in a field note book

    Errors in this survey tend to compensate as each bearing isobserved independently

    Distance between successive stations are measured using a chain

    Offset points are located by chaining OR by angular measurementswith compass.

    CONCRETE

  • 8/2/2019 UNIT - I Basic Civil and Mech.

    49/53

    CONCRETE

    Is a mixture of (cement, sand, crushed rock and water) - which when placed in askeleton of forms and allowed to cure, becomes hard such as stone.

    Properties of Concrete:1) High compressive strength2) Free from corrosion3) Hardens with age4) As it is weak in tension, steel reinforcement is placed in it to take up thetensile stresses. This is termed as Reinforced Cement Concrete

    5) Has tendency to be porous
