    2. CHAINING AND OFFSET TAKING

    OBJECT: To measure horizontal distance between two points by chaining and to

    take perpendicular offsets

    INSTRUMENTS: Metric Chain, Tape, Ranging rods, Arrows, Cross Staff, Line

    ranger, Optical Square.

    PROCEDURE:

    Two chain men are required in this process. The chain men are called as

    Leader and follower. The chain man at the forward end of the chain is called

    leader and chain man at the zero or rear end of the chain is called as

    follower.

    Fix station A and B at some distance by fixing wooden peg to determine

    horizontal distance between them.

    Position of station A, and B is fixed by measuring their position from at least

    three permanent objects and location sketch of station A and b are drawn.

    The follower holds one handle of the chain in contact with peg at station A. The leader takes the other handle of the chain, arrows and ranging rod &

    walks in the forward direction dragging chain with him.

    After the chain is stretched completely along the line the follower steps on

    one side of the line with the ranging rod touching the handle.

    The follower directs the leader to stand exactly in the line. The leader puts a

    scratch at the position & inserts an arrow. He then moves forward with the

    chain handle with the remaining arrows and ranging rod till the follower

    reaches the next arrow point.

    3. COMPASS SURVEY

    OBJECT: Study of Prismatic Compass & to determine

    fore and back bearing of survey line AB, BC, CA

    Included Angles.

    INSTRUMENTS: Tripod, Prismatic Compass, Ranging rods, Measuring Tapes,

    Wooden Pegs, Hammer.

    THEORY:

    Fore Bearing: The bearing of a line measured in the direction of progress of

    survey is called fore bearing.

    Back Bearing: The bearing of a line measured in the opposite direction of

    progress of survey is called fore bearing.

    PROCEDURE:

    TEMPORARY ADJUSTMENTS OF A PRISMATIC COMPASS

    The Prismatic Compass is set up at a point say station A.

    The following temporary adjustments are needed to be carried out at each set

    Up of Instrument

    Centering: Centering is the process of keeping the instrument exactly over

    the station. It is carried out by dropping a piece of stone so that it falls on the

    top of the pegs fixed at station point.

    Leveling: Prismatic compass is leveled by means of ball and socket

    arrangement so that the graduated ring may swing freely.

    Focusing the prism: The reflecting prism is adjusted to the eye sight of the

    observer by rising or lowering then stud until the graduations are seen sharp

    and clear.

    CALCULATION OF FORE AND BACK BEARING

    Suppose the bearing of line AB, BC, CA of a triangle is to be observed. Set

    up the instrument at station A and carry out all the temporary adjustments.

    Fix the ranging rod at B.

    Turn the prismatic compass until the ranging rod at station B is bisected by

    the horse hair when seen through the vertical slit above the prism.

    When the needle comes to rest bisect ranging rod at B exactly and note the

    reading. The reading observed is the Fore bearing of line AB i.e. Angle

    measured with respect to north.

    Now shift the prismatic compass at station B perform all temporary

    adjustments and from station B bisect station A towards backward, the

    reading observed in prismatic compass is the Back Bearing of line AB.

    Now from the same setup of the instrument Bisect station C and note down

    the reading of prismatic compass as fore bearing of line BC. Transfer the

    instrument to station C to obtain back bearing of line BC. Similarly observe

    Fore Bearing and back bearing of line CA.

    Check the Difference of Fore bearing and back bearing of each line it should

    be equal to 1800

    OBJECT: To find reduced level of various points by simple leveling.

    INSTRUMENT: Dumpy level, Tripod, leveling staff, pegs, Hammer

    PROCEDURE:

    Simple leveling: - It is the simplest method of leveling used, when it is required

    to find the difference in elevation between 2 points.

    TEMPORARY ADJUSTMENT OF DUMPY LEVEL:

    The Dumpy Level is fixed on the tripod at station say O.

    Setti ng up the level

    The tripod legs are adjusted at a convenient height. Any two legs of

    the tripod are fixed on the ground by pressing the tripod into the

    ground. The movement of the third leg is made in such a way that the

    bubble remains in the center.

    Leveling

    The actual leveling is then done by moving foot screw on the leveling

    head. Instrument s telescope is kept Parallel to two foot screws and

    both the foot screws are either moved inward or outward till the

    longitudinal bubbles is in the centre of its run.

    The telescope is then turned through 900 so that the telescope is now

    parallel to third foot screw. Now move third screw inward or outward

    till bubble is in center. Then the telescope is brought in its original

    position.

    The procedure is carried out till the bubble remains in the center in

    both the position.

    Removal of parallax

    Focusing the eye piece

    To focus so that the cross hairs for distinct vision hold a sheet of

    white paper in front of objective glass, and move the eye piece till the

    image of cross hair are seen distinct and sharp.

    Focusing of objective glass

    The telescope is then directed towards the staff held vertically at

    bench mark (B.M.) say station A and by turning the focusing screw.

    Parallax is removed by moving focusing screw till the image of staff

    is seen distinct and clear.

    HEIGHT OF INSTRUMENT METHOD

    In this method the height of instrument is calculated for each setting

    by adding Back sight to the elevation of bench mark i.e. = Reduced

    Level (R.L.) of B.M. + B.S.

    The R.L. of Intermediate points is calculated by subtracting the HI- IS(Intermediate sight).

    The process is continued till the R.L. of last point is obtained by

    subtracting the staff reading from height of last setting of instrument.

    i.e. HI FS

    RISE & FALL METHOD

    In rise & fall method, the height of Instrument is not at all calculated but the

    difference of level between consecutive points is found by comparing the staff

    readings on the two points for the same setting of the instrument. Rise and fall

    is calculated using following formula.

    BS-IS or BS-FS if +ve then Rise and if BS-IS or BS-FS is ve then fall i.e.

    If the reading is positive then it is rise and if the reading is negative then the

    reading is called fall. The figure for rise & fall worked out thus for all the points

    give the vertical distance of each point above or below the preceding one, and if

    the level of any one point is known then the level of the next will be obtained

    by adding its rise or subtracting its fall, as the case may be.

    5. DIFFERENTIAL LEVELLING

    OBJECT: To find difference of elevation between two points (too far away) by

    differential leveling.

    INSTRUMENTS: Dumpy Level, tripod, Leveling staff, pegs, etc.

    PROCEDURE:

    The Operation of leveling to determine the elevation of points at some

    distance apart is called differential leveling. When two points are at such a

    distance from each other that they cannot both be within range of the level at

    the same time, the difference in elevation is not found by single setting but

    the distance between the points is divided in stages by change points on

    which the staff is held and the difference of elevation of each of succeeding

    pair of such change points is found by separate setting up of the level.

    TEMPORARY ADJUSTMENT OF DUMPY LEVEL:

    The Dumpy Level is fixed on the tripod at station say O.

    Setting up the level

    The tripod legs are adjusted at a convenient height. Any two legs of the

    tripod are fixed on the ground by pressing the tripod into the ground. The

    movement of the third leg is made in such a way that the bubble remains in

    the center.

    The actual leveling is then done by moving foot screw on the leveling head.

    Instrument s telescope is kept Parallel to two foot screws and both the foot

    screws are either moved inward or outward till the longitudinal bubbles is in

    the centre of its run.

    The telescope is then turned through 900 so that the telescope is now parallel

    to third foot screw. Now move third screw inward or outward till bubble is

    in center. Then the telescope is brought in its original position.

    The procedure is carried out till the bubble remains in the center in both the

    position.

    HEIGHT OF INSTRUMENT METHOD:

    In this method the height of instrument is calculated for each setting by

    adding Back sight to the elevation of bench mark i.e. = Reduced Level (R.L.)

    of B.M. + B.S.

    The R.L. of Intermediate points is calculated by subtracting the HI- IS

    (Intermediate sight).

    The elevation of change points (CP) is calculated by subtracting the HI- FS

    (Fore sight).

    For next setting of the instrument, the H.I. is obtained by adding the B.S and

    R.L. of change point i.e. BS + RL (CP)

    The process is continued till the R.L. of last point is obtained by subtracting

    the staff reading from height of last setting of instrument. i.e. HIFS

    6. STUDY OF THEODOLITE

    OBJECT: To Study different components of Theodolite

    INSTRUMENT: Theodolite

    THEORY: The theodolite is an instrument designed for the measurement of

    horizontal and vertical angles. Theodolite is the most precise instrument; it is also

    used for laying off horizontal angles, locating points on the line, prolonging the

    survey lines, establishing grades, determination of difference of elevation setting

    out curves, observation of bearings etc.

    TYPES OF THEODOLITE

    The theodolites may be primarily of two types:

    Transit Theodolite

    Non Transit Theodolite

    In a transit theodolite the telescope can be revolved through a complete

    revolution about its horizontal axis in a vertical plane.

    In non transit theodolite, the telescope is mounted in such a manner that the

    line of sight cannot be reversed by revolving the telescope.

    COMPONENTS PARTS OF A THEODOLITE:

    Level ing head:It supports the main working parts of the instrument and screw

    on the tripod. The head comprises of two parts:

    Leveling base or tribrach fitted with leveling foot screws for leveling the

    instrument.

    7. STUDY OF PLANIMETER

    OBJECT: To Study Planimeter and to find constants of the Planimeter.

    THEORY: A Planimeter is used by engineers for measuring area of any figure which

    has been plotted to scale particularly when the boundaries are irregular or

    curved. Planimeter is largely used for finding the area of contours in

    determining the capacity of storage reservoirs.

    CONSTRUCTION OF PLANIMETER:

    The Planimeter consists of two arms, the tracing arm and anchor arm. The

    tracing arm is of adjustable length and has a tracing point which is moved

    round the periphery of the area to be measured.

    The amount by which tracing arm is moved is known on the wheel or roller

    which has its axis parallel to the tracing arm. The wheel has a roller divided

    into 100 equal parts and 1/100th of drum division is read from the vernier

    having graduations from 0 to 9. The complete revolution of the wheel is

    recorded from 0 to 9. While taking the reading on the planimeter, the reading

    will be in 4 digits. Let the reading be 4.375

    The 1st digit (4) is read on the disc.

    The second digit (3) is read on the rolling wheel (main scale).

    The third digit (7) is read on the rolling wheel (main scale).

    And the last digit (5) is read on the vernier scale besides the main scale of

    rolling wheel.

    Setting of tracing arm:The setting arm has calibrations on it and which

    facilitates the setting of tracing arm to given scale of the plan or map.

    The adjustment which is to be made on the tracing arm as per scale of figure

    is given by the manufacturer. The multiplying and additive constants are

    also provided by manufacturer.

    While rotating the tracing arm round the periphery of the plan, the anchor

    point may be kept inside or outside the plan depending on the size of the

    figure. For large area the anchor arm is kept inside the figure for small area

    the anchor arm is placed outside the area.

    PROCEDURE:

    Make the adjustments of the tracing arm as per scale of the plan.

    The anchor is placed inside or outside of figure such that the tracing point

    can be conveniently moved on the periphery of the plan.

    Any point on the periphery of the plan can be taken as the starting point and

    from where the tracing point moves along the periphery and closes back.

    Before the start of tracing work the initial reading (I.R) is recorded and the

    final reading (F.R) at the end of tracing is noted down.

    While moving the tracing point around the periphery it is necessary to note

    down the number of times the zero of the counting disc has passed the fixed

    index mark in clock wise (+ve) and anticlockwise (-ve) directions

    Compute the area by using the formula:

    8. PAVEMENT MATERIALS & TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES

    OBJECT: Study of Pavement Materials & Traffic Control Devices

    THEORY: Pavement:A Road pavement is a structure consisting of one or more

    layers of material which may be in natural form or it may be processed. The

    main function of the pavement is to distribute the loads coming on to it.

    Road pavements are generally of more than one layer and each layer is made

    up of suitable material, each layer is properly treated, compacted and placed

    one above the other.

    FUNCTION OF VARIOUS PAVEMENT LAYERS ARE AS FOLLOWS

    Weari ng sur face:This is the topmost layer; it comes in direct contact with

    the traffic. The function of wearing surface is to resist wear and tear and to

    avoid skidding of vehicles.

    Base:Base gives support to wearing surface. It distributes the concentrated

    loads from the upper layer to lower layers.

    Sub base:This is the intermediate layer acting as a cushion between the

    pavements.

    Sub gr ade:It is the bottom most layer forming the foundation for the road

    pavement. It is made of natural soil and carries the entire load of the traffic.

    TYPES OF ROAD PAVEMENT:

    Flexible Pavement: The earthen, gravel, water bound macadam and

    bituminous roads are known as flexible pavements because the top surface

    takes the shape of the sub surface soil.

    Rigid pavements:Cement Concrete roads are known as rigid pavements

    because of their stiffness and their capacity to bridge over loose soil pockets

    in the sub grade. Due to stiffness and thickness, there are no undulations on

    concrete roads.

    PAVEMENT MATERIALS:

    Soil

    Stone aggregate

    Bituminous material

    Cement

    Soil:The soil is generally divided into 4 parts based on the particle size

    Larger than 2 mmGravel

    Between 2 mm0.06 mm - sand

    Between 0.06 0.002 mmsilt

    Smaller than 0.002 clay

    Soil is very essential pavement material as behavior of pavement depends to

    a greater extent on the sub grade soil.

    Stone aggregate:Aggregates are the prime material used in pavement

    construction and they form the major portion of pavement structure.

    Aggregate are classified as per size as

    Fine aggregate

    Course aggregate

    Bituminous material: Bituminous

    construction works as binder

    material are used in pavement

    Various bituminous materials used

    classified as:

    in highway construction may be

    Bitumen Tar

    Asphalt Cutback

    Emulsion

    Cement:Cement is used as a binding material in rigid pavements
