Different types of Surveying

What is surveying ?
 
Surveying is nothing but The measurement of dimensional relationships, as of horizontal distances, elevations, directions, and angles, on the earth's surface especially for use in locating property boundaries, construction layout, and mapmaking is basically called surveying in engineering language.

Different types of lines

Basic tips for civil engineering  drawing

Now we are going discus one of the important part of  Civil Engineering  drawing . If you see any drawing you may find different types of line. These lines are differently named and classified.   Types of lines include the following:
visible – are continuous lines used to depict edges directly visible from a particular angle.
hidden – are short-dashed lines that may be used to represent edges that are not directly visible.
center – are alternately long- and short-dashed lines that may be used to represent the axes of circular features.
cutting plane – are thin, medium-dashed lines, or thick alternately long- and double short-dashed that may be used to define sections for section views.
section – are thin lines in a pattern (pattern determined by the material being "cut" or "sectioned") used to indicate surfaces in section views resulting from "cutting." Section lines are commonly referred to as "cross-hatching."
Civil Engineering Line Type
phantom - (not shown) are alternately long- and double short-dashed thin lines used to represent a feature or component that is not part of the specified part or assembly. E.g. billet ends that may be used for testing, or the machined product that is the focus of a tooling drawing.


Lines can also be classified by a letter classification in which each line is given a letter.
Type A lines show the outline of the feature of an object. They are the thickest lines on a drawing and done with a pencil softer than HB.
Type B lines are dimension lines and are used for dimensioning, projecting, extending, or leaders. A harder pencil should be used, such as a 2H.
Type C lines are used for breaks when the whole object is not shown. They are freehand drawn and only for short breaks. 2H pencil
Type D lines are similar to Type C, except they are zigzagged and only for longer breaks. 2H pencil
Type E lines indicate hidden outlines of internal features of an object. They are dotted lines. 2H pencil
Type F lines are Type F[typo] lines, except they are used for drawings in electro technology. 2H pencil
Type G lines are used for centre lines. They are dotted lines, but a long line of 10–20 mm, then a gap, then a small line of 2 mm. 2H pencil
Type H lines are the same as Type G, except that every second long line is thicker. They indicate the cutting plane of an object. 2H pencil
Type K lines indicate the alternate positions of an object and the line taken by that object. They are drawn with a long line of 10–20 mm, then a small gap, then a small line of 2 mm, then a gap, then another small line. 2H pencil

About Civil Engineering



Civil engineering is nothing but a branch of engineering which concerned with the design and construction of such public works as dams or bridges or civil work. And briefly we can say that Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings.

Also we can say that the Civil engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it was defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering. It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, geophysics, geodesy, control engineering, structural engineering, biomechanics, nanotechnology, transportation engineering, earth science, atmospheric sciences, forensic engineering, municipal or urban engineering, water resources engineering, materials engineering, coastal engineering, surveying, and construction engineering.


Civil engineering department is the word oldest engineering department. Actually if you are a creative minded people  then your first chooses is to be a civil engineer because only in this department you have the opportunity  to make the world or your environment more beautiful.  Only in this department have the design and construction of most basic infrastructure while protecting the surrounding environment. It may be include bridges, multi-storey buildings, highways, railways, tunnels, airports, domestic water supplies, irrigation systems, flood protection works and the collection and disposal of wastes and wastewater. Civil engineers also manage people and projects, oversee a construction, are a city engineer or work in design, construction, research and teaching. Specialties include structural, construction, environment and transportation. Civil engineering may be combined with science or business in a double degree program.
