SYLLABUS

UNIT – I : Geodetic Surveying: Definition, importance, triangulation system, order of triangulation, size and shape of triangulation, strength of figure criterion, triangulation fieldwork, base line measurement- tape corrections, problems in baseline measurement, measurement of angles.

UNIT –II : Hydrographic Surveying: Tides-lunar tides, solar tides, spring and neap tides, measurement of tides- shore lines, soundings, sounding equipments, locating soundings by cross rope method and range and time intervals-mean sea level-prediction of tides.

UNIT – III : Photogrammetric Surveying: Basic principles,-photo theodolite, horizontal and vertical angles from terrestrial photographs, elevation of a point by photographic measurement, determination of focal length of the lens, Aerial camera- scale of vertical photograph, scale of tilted photograph, combined effects of tilt and relief, stereoscopic vision, mosaics.

UNIT – IV : Astronomical Surveying: Spherical Trigonometry, latitude and longitude, solar system, astronomical teams, coordinate systems-altitude, azimuth system, declination, hour angle system, time and astronomical work-sidereal time, apparent solar time, mean solar time, standard time, standard time, application of astronomy in surveying, corrections to astronomical observations.

UNIT – V : Total stations: Importance, measurement of horizontal angles, vertical angles, horizontal distance, slope distance, height of object-remote elevation measurement (REM), remote distance measurement (RDM)-radial and continuous distances for measuring the lengths and sides of the closed circuits, areas and perimeters calculations.

UNIT – VI : Global Positioning System: Principles of GPS, components of GPS, types of GPS and accuracy, applications of GPS, sources of error GPS and limitations.
