Surveying Detailed Syllabus for B.Tech second year first sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Surveying B.Tech 2016-2017 (R16) second year first sem is as follows.
B.Tech. II Year I Sem. L/T/P/C
Course Code: CE305ES 3/0/0/3
Course Objectives: The first step in engineering practice is surveying and the soundness of any civil engineering work is dependent on the reliability and accuracy of surveying. Therefore, it is imperative that a student of engineering should have good knowledge of surveying. To impart the knowledge of surveying and latest technologies in surveying it is necessary to introduce this subject in the curriculum.
Course Outcomes: At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
- Calculate angles, distances and levels
- Identify data collection methods and prepare field notes
- Understand the working principles of survey instruments
- Estimate measurement errors and apply corrections
- Interpret survey data and compute areas and volumes
UNIT – I Introduction and Basic Concepts: Introduction, Objectives, classification and principles of surveying, Scales, Shrinkage of Map, Conventional symbols and Code of Signals, Surveying
accessories, phases of surveying. Measurement of Distances and Directions Linear distances- Approximate methods, Direct Methods- Chains- Tapes, ranging, Tape corrections, indirect methods- optical methods- E.D.M. method. Prismatic Compass- Bearings, included angles, Local Attraction, Magnetic Declination, and dip.
UNIT – II Levelling and Contouring Leveling– Basics definitions, types of levels and levelling staves, temporary adjustments, methods of levelling, booking and Determination of levels- HI Method-Rise and Fall method, Effect of Curvature of Earth and Refraction. Contouring- Characteristics and uses of Contours, Direct & Indirect methods of contour surveying, interpolation and sketching of Contours.
Computation of Areas and Volumes Areas – Determination of areas consisting of irregular boundary and regular boundary (coordinates, MDM, DMD methods), Planimeter. Volumes – Computation of areas for level section and two level sections with and without transverse slopes, determination of volume of earth work in cutting and embankments, volume of borrow pits, capacity of reservoirs.
UNIT – III Theodolite Surveying: Types of Theodolites, Fundamental Lines, temporary adjustments, measurement of horizontal angle by repetition method and reiteration method, measurement of vertical Angle, Trigonometrical levelling when base is accessible and inaccessible.
Traversing: Methods of traversing, traverse computations and adjustments, Gale’s traverse table, Omitted measurements.
