Q#01: Describe (CLO1; C2; PLO1) (8+8) a) The Difference b/w main survey
line, base line, tie line and check line with the help of illustrative diagram.
ANSWER N0 1

1. Base line
2. Tie Line
3. Check Line

1. Base Line
Chain survey graphs. The three lines of a triangle that depend on one line are called
the base lines.

The accuracy of the chain survey, based on the accuracy of the baseline. Is
dependent

For this, the long line between the survey structure and the line between the region
is taken as the base line. Based on the line and even flat ground, the measurement
is chosen in a way that is less difficult.

Base, the line should be measured at least twice in the opposite direction. On the
map, the survey lines are displayed along the dotted lines and in the middle of the
breaks.

2. Tie Line
Vertical when the main survey lines pass away in detail the length of the.

To minimize this length, a secondary line (T1, T2) that is closest to the details is

selected, as shown in the drawing

By doing so, it would be shorter to take the details vertically, be more precise. And
time is saved.

This secondary line is called the coincidence line. The accuracy of the survey
triangles is also tested as these coincidence lines connect the two points above the
main survey lines.
3. Check Line
If you know the length of the sides of a triangle, then a triangle can be drawn, but it
is not possible to measure the length of the sides of the error drawn.

For this, a lock line is kept in each triangle.

The bottom line is the line connecting the main survey location and any known
location above it.

An error is made when comparing the measured length of this line with the drawn
length on its map.

In this way, the measurements were taken over the field, and the accuracy of their
plotting is tested.
 PART B

Difference b/w well-conditioned & ill-conditioned triangles and plan & a map?
ANSWER:

Well-Conditioned Triangles and Ill-Conditioned Triangles

The triangles with angle(A) in the range 30<A<120 is called as WELL-CONDITIONED

TRIANGLES. An equilateral triangle is the best well-conditioned triangle (Ideal Triangle)
possible.
The well-conditioned triangle has perfect apex points that are sharp and are located by
single ‘dot’. This will bring no possibility of relative displacement of the plotted point.

An ill-conditioned triangle is a triangle with an internal angle (A) in the range 120<A<30.

ANSWER:
a. Swinging plumb bob while taping A (Accidental),
b. Using a repaired tape), S (Systematic)
c. Aiming the theodolite at the wrong point A (Accidental),
d. Recopying field data B (Blunder):
e. Reading a 9 to a 6 B (Blunder):
f. Surveying with a level that is not levelled), S (Systematic)
g. Having too long a sight distance between the level and the level rod A (Accidental),
 QUESTION NO 3

PART B

i) N(Last two digits of your reg#)E ii) S (Last two digits of your
reg#)E iii) S (Last two digits of your reg#)W iv) N (Last two digits
of your reg#)W
ANSWER:
N 54 W
WBC= 360 -53
307’
S 53 W
WBC= 180+53
= 233’
S 53E
WBC = 180 – 53
= 127’
N 53 E
WBC = RB = 53’
PART D

d) Determine the horizontal distance when the Elevation = (Last three digits of your reg#/ 100)
and the BSR = (Last three digits of your reg#/135).

SOLUTION
ELEVATION = 653/100
= 6.53
BSR = 653/135
=4.88
Horizontal distance =?
Horizontal distance = (6.53 – 4.88) X 100
= 165 ANSWER

PART C
c) The following observed fore bearings of the line: AB, (Last two digits of your reg#) BC, (Last
three digits of your reg#) CD, S (Last two digits of your reg#) W DE, N (Last two digits of your
reg#) W. Find their back bearings.

SOLUTION:
AB = 53
BC= 653
FB OF AB= 53
BB = 53 +180
 = 233’
FB OF THE BC = 233- 180
BB = 53’
CD = S 53 W
FB = 53’
BB = N 53 E
‘
DE = N 53
FB = 53
BB = S 53 W

PART E

SOLUTION:
L’= 100 FT
L’ = 653
L= 653+10
= 663
L=?
L x l = L’ X l
L = 100X653/663
= 98.4 FT
A 30 m steel tape was standardized on flat ground, at a temperature of 18oC and at a pull of 80 N.
The tape was used in catenary at a temperature of (Last two digits of your reg#)oC and the pull
applied was (Last three digits of your reg#) N. The cross-sectional area of the tape is 0.04 cm2 , the
mass density of steel is 0.0077 kg/cm3 . The Young’s modulus of elasticity (E) and coefficient of
thermal expansion (α) is (Last two digits of your reg#) × 106 N/cm2 and 11.7 × 10− 6 per oC
respectively. Find the correct horizontal distance.

PART A
Length of tape = 30 m
T = 18 C’
Pull = 80 N
PulLm = 209N
Mass density = 0.0077 kh/cm2
Area (A)= 0.04 cm2
E = 9X 106
∂ = 11.7 X 10−6 /C’
Horizontal distance= ?
SOLUTION :
Correction of tape
Ct = ∝ ( Tm−¿ ) L
Ct = 11.7 X 10−6 /C’ (9-18) 30
Ct = 0.0315 m

Correction pull

Cp = Pm-Pox L / AE
Cp = 209- 80 X 30 / 0.04cm2 X 9 106

Cp = 0.01075m
Combine correction
Cc = Cp + Ct
= 0.01075 += 0.0315
= 0.02084 m
So true horizontal distance
= 30m- 0.02084 m
29.97 m
