Compass Surveying
Introduction, Purpose, principle and uses of compass Survey-Traverse-Open and Closed Traverse -Theory of magnetism-Description working and use of Prismatic compassOperations in using Compass before taking readings – Concept of Meridian-Types of meridians-Bearing and angle- Designation of bearings- Whole Circle Bearing. Quadrantal Bearing Conversions-Field work in Compass Survey -field notes-traverse using prismatic compass -Local attraction-detection and correction, Dip and Magnetic declination- Variation of Magnetic declination -calculation of true bearings-Determination of included angles from the given bearings and vice versa in compass traverse – Plotting of closed traverse-closing error and adjustments by Bowditch graphical method – Precautions in using a Compass-Errors in Compass Surveying.
Levelling
Levelling – Types of levelling instruments – component parts of a dumpy level and their functions – Definitions of important terms used in Levelling – level surface, level line, plumb line, horizontal line, axis of telescope, line of collimation, back sight, fore sight, intermediate sight, station and change point – Temporary adjustments of a dumpy level – types of Levelling Staves – Bench marks – different types of bench marks – Booking of readings in field book – Determination of Reduced levels by height of instrument and Rise and Fall methods -Comparison of methods – Problems-Missing Entry – Calculations-Problems – Classification of Levelling – detailed description of profile levelling and reciprocal levelling – Problems on Reciprocal levelling – Errors due to curvature and refraction and combined correction -problems – Contouring – contour, contour interval and horizontal equivalent – Characteristics of contours – methods of contouring – Block contouring – Radial contouring – interpolation of contours – uses of Contour maps – tracing of contour gradient or alignment of a hill road -Marking alignment of roads, railways and canals – Fundamental lines of dumpy level and their relations – Permanent adjustments of a dumpy level (Two peg method without problems)
Minor Instruments
Purpose of Minor instruments- Various minor instruments- Uses of Abney Level, Pentagraph and Electronic Planimeter .
