Surveying For Diploma

Surveying is the branch of civil engineering that involves measuring distances and angles to prepare maps and plans of areas by determining their relative positions. The main objectives of surveying are to prepare maps of surveyed areas and determine boundaries for land and engineering projects. There are two primary divisions of surveying: plane surveying which does not account for the curvature of the Earth's surface, and geodetic surveying which does and uses spherical trigonometry. Surveying is classified based on the nature of the field being surveyed and the purpose and methods used.

Q.1 Define Surveying Ans.

Surveying is the branch of Civil Engineering which the relative position of point or an projects to be obtained on above or beneath the earth`s surface to prepare a plan or map by measuring Distances directly or indirectly in horizontal plane. Q.2 State the object of surveying. Ans. The main object of surveying is to prepare a plan or map of the area surveyed. Surveying is important for determining the boundaries of land for designing the engineering pro ject. Q.3 What are the uses of survey? Ans. Survey is used for the following a) Measurement of area. b) Designing the engineering project for actual constructions. For e.g. curves for roads, railways etc. c) Locating the boundaries of area. d) To obtain useful checks during actual progress of work. e) Helps in arbitration during dispute between two agencies. f) Q.4 State the principles of surveying. Ans. There are two principles of surveying1) 2) a) b) c) To work from the whole to the part. To locate a point by at least two independent processes. Linear measurement. Angular measurement. Both, linear and angular measurement.

Q.5 What are the primary divisions or primary classification surveying? There are two primary divisions or classification of surveying 1) Plane surveying . 2) Geodetic or Trigonometrical survey a)Plane surveying: During the process of surveying if the effect of curvature is not taken into considrationthe surveying is called as plane surveying . In the plane surveying, the surface of the earth is taken as plane , the lines connecting two

Geodetic surveying: When curvature effect of earth surface is taken into account during the survey, it is called as Geodetic surveying. Due to curvature effect, spherical trigonometry involves And hence it is also called as Trigonometry survey. It is to be carried out for the large areas and by government agencies with high degree of precision. In India , it is carried out by Great Trigonometrically Survey It is to be carried out for large areas and by government agencies which high degree of precision In India it is carried out by Great Trigonometrical Survey department (GTS) Q.6 State the classification of survey Ans. Survey is classification as follows a) Classification based on nature of field of survey 1 ) Land survey 3) Marine survey or navigation sur 4)
