Surveying Principles and Calculations Guide

The document discusses surveying, including its definition, basic principles, and stages with examples. It presents problems related to scale adjustments and area calculations, compass traverse bearings, and leveling techniques, requiring corrections and missing data to be filled in. Additionally, it briefly mentions topics for short notes such as reciprocal leveling and geodetic surveying.

1. a. Define surveying. What are the basic principles of surveying?

Describe different stages


of survey with an example.

b. A plan was plotted to scale of 1cm = 25m. The paper has shrunk over a period of time.
So, that a line 15cm long originally now measures only 14.76cm. it is also mentioned that
the data used in plotting were measured with a 30mtape of 7.5cm too long. If the area of
the plotted plan now measures 98.68 sq. cm, find the true area of the land represented by
that plot. If the same plot was plotted to a scale of 1:12500, what will be the map area of
that area?

2. a. The following bearings were observed in running a compass traverse.

Line F.B. B.B


AB N66°15'E S244°0'W
BC S129°45'E N313°0'W
CD S218°30'W N37°30'W
DA N306°45'W S126°45'E
Find the corrected fore bearing and back bearings, given that the magnetic declination is
8°40'W.

b. The following bearings was observed in running closed traverse ABCDE. Find the
correct included angle and reflected bearing of traverse legs.

Line F.B. B.B


AB 195°30' 17°00'
BC 73°30' 250°30'
CD 36°15' 214°30'
DE 266°45' 84°45'
EA 234°15' 57°00'

3. a. The following figures were extracted from a level field book, some of the entries being
illegible owing to exposure to rain. Insert the missing figures and check your results.
Rebook all the figures by the rise and fall method.

Station B.S I.S F.S Rise Fall R.L Remarks


1 2.285 232.460 B.M.1

7 1.690 × 0.340
8 2.865 2.100 ×
9 × × 233.425 B.M.3

b. Fill in the missing reading and calculate the reduced level of the points. Apply the
usual checks.
