Assignment # 1
Q # (a) Define ranging of a survey line. Discuss in detail the method of indirect/reciprocal ranging.
(b) Explain with an example the following various obstacles in chaining.
- Chaining free, Vision obstructed
- Chaining obstructed, vision free
- Both chaining and vision obstructed
Part a:
Ranging of survey line:
Process of making number of intermediate points on survey line joining two station
Or
The process of making a line completely straight is known as ranging.
Example:
Both ends may be visible from any intermediate point lying on the line such as in the case
of a hill.
Both ends may not be visible from any intermediate point such as in the case of a jungle.
Chaining Obstructed, Vision Free:
The typical obstacle of this type is a sheet of water, the width of which in the direction of
measurement exceeds the length of the chain or tape. The problem consists in finding the
distance between convenient points on the chain line on either side of obstacle
Example:
When the obstacle can be chained around, e.g. a pond, a thorny hedge etc.
When the obstacle cannot be chained around e.g. a rive.
Q # 2: A survey line CD intersects a high building. To prolong the line beyond this obstacle, a
perpendicular DE, 150 m long is set out at D. From E two lines EF and EG are set out at angles of 45 o
and 60o with ED respectively. Determine the lengths of EF and EG in order that the points F and G may
lie on the prolongationof CD, and also the obstructed distance DF.
