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 Surveying

 

1.Chain Survey

2.Circular Curve

3.Circular Curve

4.House Setting

5.Plane Table Surveying

6.Traverse Surveying 

Chain Survey

Definition: Chain survey is the simplest type of survey in which the area to be surveyed is divided into a number of triangles. The perpendicular distance, called offsets, of various objects in the field from the line are measured and recorded in a book called filed book. From these records in the field book, the whole area can be plotted on a drawing sheet to a reduced scale. Note that we will not use field book, all the offset will be recorded on the drawing sheet directly.

 

Circular Curve

 Definition: In the geometric design of roads, railways and pipelines, the design and setting out of curves is an important aspect of an engineer’s work. Curve ranging is a design of  2 straight ways with a curve. In the design of roads or railways, the part of straight line/ways connected with a curve who’s its radius is constant or variables.

Contouring Survey

Definition:  before giving the contouring survey first of all we should maintain the meaning of contour. A contour is defined as an imaginary line of constant elevation on the ground surface. It can also be defined as the line of intersection of a level surface with the ground surface. For example, the line of intersection of the water surface of a still lake or pond with the surrounding ground represents a contour line.

 A line joining points of equal elevations is called a contour line. It facilitates depiction of the relief of terrain in a two dimensional plan or map.

House Setting

Definition: House setting is nothing but a plan for foundation of any kind of construction or civil work, Say you need to built a two room house so the plan of your foundation is called house setting .

Plane Table Surveying

Introduction:

•It is a graphical method of surveying

•Observations and plotting are done simultaneously

•Suitable for plotting surface details like buildings, trees, or other permanent objects.

Traverse Surveying       

Introduction:

·         Traverse is a method in the field of surveying to establish control networks

·         A traverse is developed by measuring the distance and angles between points that found the boundary of a site

·         The main objective of this practical traverse will be the computation of area inside a closed traverse
