MODERN SURVEYING

SURVEYING
Surveying is the science and art of determining the relative positions of points above, on, or beneath the earth’s surface and locating the points in the field.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERINGThe work of the surveyor consists of 5 phases
1.Decision Making–selecting method, equipment and final point locations.
2.Fieldwork & Data Collection–making measurements and recording data in the field.
3.Computing & Data Processing–preparing calculations based upon the recorded data to determine locations in a useable form.
4.Mapping or Data Representation–plotting data to produce a map, plat, or chart in the proper form.
5.Stakeout –locating and establishing monuments or stakes in the proper locations in the field.

Categories of Surveying
1.Plane Surveying–surveying with the reference base for fieldwork and computations are assumed to be a flat horizontal surface.
2.Geodetic Surveying–surveying technique to determine relative positions of widely spaced points, lengths, and directions which require the consideration of the size and shape of the earth. (Takes the earth’s curvature into account.)

Types of Surveys
1.Photogrammetry–mapping utilizing data obtained by camera or other sensors carried in airplanes or satellites.
2.Boundary Surveying–establishing property corners, boundaries, and areas of land parcels.
3.Engineering Surveying–providing points and elevations for the building Civil Engineering projects
4.Topographic Surveying–collecting data and preparing maps showing the locations of natural man-made features and elevations of points of the ground.
5.Route Surveys–topographic and other surveys for long –narrow projects associated with Civil Engineering projects (Highways, railroads, pipelines)
6.Hydrographic Surveying–mapping of shorelines and the bottom of bodies of water.

Brief History of Surveying
1.Surveying had it’s beginning in Egypt about 1400 BC
2.Greeks: expanded Egyptian work and developed Geometry
3.Romans: developed surveying into a science to create the Roman roads, aqueducts, and land division systems.
4.Middle Ages: land division of Romans continued in Europe.
5.18th & 19th Century in the New World: the need for mapping and marking land claims caused extensive surveying, especially by the English.
6.20thCentury and Beyond: As technology advanced, population increased, and land value caused development of licensure for surveyors in all countries

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERINGModern equipments

Electronic Thoedolite
•For precise surveys the vernier theodolites are replaced by modern theodolites such as optical and electronic theodolites.
•The electronic theodolites have optical system to scan both horizontal and vertical circles and display them digitally on a screen

EDM (Electronic Distance meter)
1.EDMis Electronic Distance meter
2.Measurement of distance is done by a modulated microwaveor infraredcarrier signal
3.The distance is determined by emitting and receiving multiple frequencies, and determining the integer number of wavelengthsto the target for each frequency

Auto Level
•Now most commonly used levelling instruments are -Auto level.
•Auto level, as name sounds it has a auto level compensator and corrects automatically if instrument goes out of level within it’s range.
•With auto level:-
1.Survey work can be done fast,
2.Less chances of error,
3.Magnification available is more,
4.Range is more,
5.Image is erect so less chances of error.

Digital Level
•They are not popular instead auto levels are more extensively used.
•The Trimble DiNi Digital Level : Determine accurate height information 60% faster than with automatic leveling
•Eliminate errors and reduce rework with digital readings
•Transfer data to the office easily
•Measure to a field of just 30 cm

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERINGLaser Level
•The word laseris an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation and is the name applied to an intense beam of highly monochromatic, coherent light.
•Laser rangefinders use these relationships to calculate Distance
•Distance = speed of light * (time/2)
•The time refers to time of pulse to go from the instrument to the tree and back again

Laser Distance meter
•By using this Laser distance meter we can calculate the distance, area and volume accurately
•We can use this in night also

GPS –Global Positioning System.
What is GPS
•GPS, which stands for Global Positioning
System, is the only system today able to show you your exact position on the Earth anytime, in any weather, anywhere.
•Global Positioning System –A network
of satellites (24 total –21 in use, 3 spares)
that continuously transmit coded information,
which makes it possible to precisely identify
locations on earth by measuring distance from the satellites.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERINGGPS –Global Positioning System.

VSVN POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE., VIRUDHUNAGARDEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERINGNormal Accuracy and ranges of total stations
Angular accuracy up to 1”
Distance measured with laser up to 2 KM
Distance measured with infrared rays up to 4 KM.( with single prism)
Capable of storing up to 20,000 points.

Basic Principle of Total Stations
1.These instruments are measuring the distances of prism poles mounted with prisms with the help of Laser beam or Infrared rays.
2.These signals are emitted by the instrument EDM and reflected back to instruments by the prism mounted on the prism poles.
3.The time interval between emission and reception helps to calculate the distance as the speed of these signals are precisely known. D = (t/2) x v
D-Distance, t-Total time taken, v-Velocity

Focusing and Target Sighting
•Look through the telescope eyepiece at a
•bright background
•Turn the eyepiece clockwise, anticlockwise little by
•little until just before the reticle image becomes
•focused
•Loosen the vertical and horizontal clamps, then use
•the peep sight to bring the target in to the field of view.
•Tight both clamps
•Turn the telescope focusing ring to focus on the target
•Turn the vertical and horizontal and vertical fine motion screws to align the target with the reticle
•Readjust the focus with the focusing ring until there is no parallax between the target image and the reticle

Engineering Education for today’s classroom. M.Shanmugaraj Lec/CivilVSVN POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE., VIRUDHUNAGARDEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERINGRemote Elevated Measurement (REM)
An REMis a function used to measure the height to a point where a target cannot be directly installed such as power lines, overhead cables etc.,

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERINGMissing Line Measurement (MLM) Missing line measurement is used to measure the slope distance, horizontal distance, and horizontal angle from the target whish is the reference (starting point) without moving the instrument. It is possible to change the last measured point to the next starting position. Measurement result can be displayed as the gradient between two points.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERINGCo-ordinate Measurement (COORD)
By performing coordinate measurements it
is possible to find the 3-dimensional coordinates of
the target based on station point coordinates,
instrument height, target height, and azimuth angles of
the backsight which are entered in advance

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERINGResection Measurement
Resection is used to determine the coordinates of an instrument station by performing multiple measurements of points whose values are known.
Registered coordinate data can be recalled and set as known point data.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERINGSetting –Out Measurement
Setting out measurement is used to set out the required point
The horizontal angle difference and distance difference are calculated and displayed using the following formulae.
Horizontal angle difference
dHA = Horizontal angle of setting–out data–measured horizontal angle
Distance difference
Sdist : S-O S = measured slope distance–
slope distance of setting–out data
Hdist : S-O H = measured horizontal distance-
horizontal distance of S-O data
Vdist : S-O V = measured height difference-
height difference of S-O data

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERINGSetting-Out Line
Setting out line is used for setting out a required point at a designated distance from the baseline and for finding the distance from the baseline to a measured point.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERINGSetting –Out Arc
This mode allows us to define an arc from various arc parameters, such as From Pt coordinates, and set out this arc as well as points (offsets) along

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERINGOffset Measurement
Offset measurements are performed in order to find a point where a target cannot be installed directly or to find the distance and angle to a point which cannot be sighted

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERINGSurface Area Calculation
This function can calculate the area of land enclosed by
three or more known points on a line by inputting the coordinates
of the points. Surface area is calculated by measuring the points
on a line enclosing an area in order or reading in the previously
registered coordinates in order
