EA
Derive the expression for the horizontal distance D and the vertical intercept V when the staff is vertical, in tacheometric surveying.
Two distances 25 m and 100 m were accurately measured out and the intercepts on the staff between the outer stadia webs were O.25 m at the former distance and 1·0 m at the latter distance. Calculate the tacheometric constants.
Explain the various methods of trigonometrical levelling.
An instrument was set up at A and the angle of elevation to a vane 5 m above the foot of the staff held at B was 10°. The horizontal distance between A and B was known to be 2000 metres. Determine the RL of the staff station B. It is given that the RL of the instrument axis was 2600 m.
Describe the various elements of a simple circular curve.
A vertical curve has an upgrade of 2·0% followed by a downgrade of 1·0%. The rate of change of grade is 0·15% per chain of 30 m. Calculate the length of the vertical curve.
