Surveying—Definition and Object : Surveying is the art of determining relative Positions of objects on the surface of the earth by taking measurements in the horizontal and vertical plane. The measurements are drawn to convenient reduced size on papers known as maps or plans. The part of surveying which deals with the measurements in the vertical plane is known as levelling and the Papers on which these measurements are drawn are called sections and elevations. Surveying and levellmg are considered to be two different operations but in the wider sense, the term surveying includes levelling. : The main object of surveying is to obtain a map or a plan of the area surveyed. The art of surveying and map making has been practised from the very ancient times. The earliest surveys known! were performed only for the purpose of establishing the boundaries of land, but their application has become increasingly important as the time has progressed. Now-a- days for the purpose of designing any engineering project such as a road, railway, canal, water supply or sanitary scheme etc., an engineer would Tequire to study, as the very first item, the features of the earth’s sufface in which the project is to be located, and prepare a map of that . The Success of any engineering project is based upon the accurate and complete Survey work. An engineer therefore, must be thoroughly familiar with the Principles and practice of surveying. 1.2. Main Division of Surveying : Surveying may be divided into the following two main classes :- 1. Plane Surveying. 2. Geodetic Surveying. pate Surveying.

The surveys, where the effect of curvature ofthe earth is neglected assuming the earth's surface tobe plane, are called Plane surveys. The degree of accuracy obiained inthis ype of surveying is ‘Comparatively low. Generally areas les than 260 sq, km (100. miles) are Uweated as plane. However the controlling factor should be the degree of Accuracy required rater than the area of the survey. The scope and use of plane surveying is very wide as itis employed in majority of surveys conducted forthe purpose of Engineering works, 2. Geodetic Surveying. When the surveys extend over large areas or the degree of accuracy required is great, te curvature of the earth cannot be ignored. Those surveys, where the curvature ofthe earth is taken into account, are called Geodetic Surveys. They are also known a$ Trigono. metrical surveys as they involve the knowledge of Trigonometry during differen operations Geodetic Surveying is generally adopied to locate the widely distant control points for different surveys tobe conducted in between these poins, 1 requires the use of very refined instruments as well as methods of observation and adjusunent. It is conducted only through Government ‘The calculation work is much simplified ifthe carth iv assumed to be * spheroid instead ofits stil elliptical shape 2.

Linear measure. ‘ments taken in the horizontal plane ae known as horizonial distances whereas thse taken in the vertical plane are called vertical distances Similarly the angular measurements are borizontal angles and vertical angles when taken in the horizontal and vertical planes respectively, Linear Measurements. There are two main systems of measue- ments: 1. MKS. (Mete, kilogram, second) or Metric System, 2. FP.S. (Foot, Pound, second) or British System. ‘The unit of length isa metre in M.KS. system and afoot iu FPS, system, Previously Inia followed FPS. system of messue- rents bat from 1956, according to the Weights and Measures Act the Metric system has become the only recognised system in India Therefore 4 metre i the basic unit of length now-a-days andthe units of area nd volume are derived from it.The units of length area and volume i Mevic system and their conversion to British system are given in the following tables ‘Table 1.1.

Workof a Surveyor: ‘The work ofa surveyor can be divided ino the following tree parts |. Fleld-work. 2, Office-work, 3. Care and adjusument of instruments, 1, Fleld-work. It consists in aking measurements for deails, record ing feld-notes and setting out of works, 2. Office-work. It consists in preparing maps, plans and sections from the data collected in the field and also calculating the areas and volumes and designing the various structures 3. Care and adjustment of Instruments. The surveyor must be thoroughly familiar with the instruments which be will be called upon to use. He must also know the methods of testing and adjusting the mein ments, Delicate and very cost instruments such as a theodolite, a level etc. {Rust be handled with great care and accuracy. Even a mitor injury is liable to make them out of order and the same can only be set to the ‘riginal position by costly and time consuming repairs. Before taking the instrument out from the box, the correct positon ofits various parts should be noted and if necessary a rough sketch be made so that no difficulty is ‘experienced while replacing the instrument. The instrument should be set (nits well spread and stable tripod stand and should never be left unguard ed. The instrument should be protected from the sun, dust and rain ete, ‘The lenses should always be kept clean and the movable parts should ‘be cleaned and lubricated with refined watch oil at frequent intervals.
