b) Explain the method of chaining on sloping ground.

Ans.: 1) Method Of stepping(direct Method)
Suppose the horizontal distance between points A and B as shown in fig. is to be
measured. The line AB is first ranged properly. Then the follower holds the zero end of the
tape at A. The Leader selects a suitable length AP1 so that P1 is at chest height and AP1 is
just horizontal. The horizontally is maintained by eye estimation, by tri-square or by 2
wooden set square. The point P2 is marked on the ground by plumb bob so that P1 is just
over P2. The horizontal length AP1 is noted. Then the follower moves to the position P2
and hold the zero end of the tape at that point. Again the leader selects a suitable length
P2P3 in such way that P2P3 is horizontal and P3P4 is Vertical. Then the horizontal lengths
P2P3 and P4P5 are Measured.
So the total Horizontal Length AB= AP1 + P2P3 + P4P5 1

c) Length of a survey line measured with a 30 meter chain was found to be

1000meter .At the end of survey ,the chain was compared with a standard
chain ,it was found to be 0.15 meter too long .Find correct length of the line .
Ans:-
Data Given:L = 30m,M.L.of line =1000 m, Error = e= 0.15m too long,True length of line =?
Incorrect length of chain = L’ = (30 + 30.15)/2 01
= 30.075 m
True length Of line
= (Incorrect length of chain/Correct length of chain) X Measured length of line
T.L.= (L’/L) X M.L. 02
= (30.075/30) X 1000
T.L. = 1002.5 m OR 01
Note: If Considered Chain was incorrect at the start, then L’= 30.15m & T.L. =1005m

d) What are offsets? How are they taken and recorded? Explain with sketch.
Offsets are lateral measurement to the base line. 01
They are Located by judgment if short And by instruments (optical square or 01
cross staff) if long and measured by metallic tape and shown with their
chainages on base line

e) What consideration would you have while selecting survey stations and survey lines
in a chain survey?

2) All triangles should be well conditioned. 1
3) The survey line should lie over the leveled ground. mark
4) The no of survey line should be as few as practicable. each
5) Each triangle should be provided at least one check line. (Any
6) The principle of survey i.e. To work from whole to the part should be strictly four)
observed.
7) Base line should run through the center of the area so as to form the frame work of
triangles on it to cover maximum area.

f) Describe with neat sketch, the optical square and explain its principle.
Principal of optical square :- the angle between the first incident ray and the last
reflected ray is twice the angle between the two mirrors
OR
If there are two plane mirrors whose reflecting surfaces make a given angle 02
with each other and if a ray of light in plane perpendiculars to the plains of both
mirrors is reflected successively from both, it undergoes a deviation of twice the angle
between the reflecting surfaces.
In the case of optical square the angle between the mirrors is 45 0 while that
between the first incident ray and last reflected ray is 900.

of the objects on the sheet by drawing rays and plotting to suitable scale.
ii)The Alidade (plain Alidade, Telescopic Alidade):It is used to sight the objects .
To draw rays along the fiducial edge
iii) The spirit level: It is used for leveling the plane table
iv) The compass: (Trough Compass, Circular compass): It is used for marking the
North direction on the map. To orient the plane table
v) U-Fork or Plumbing fork with plumb bob: It is used for centering the table over
the station.
* (Any four 1/2mark for name of accessories and ½ for function.)
e) What is meant by orientation of plane table? Explain any one method.
Orientation: The orientation of plane table means keeping the plane table at all stations 01
parallel to the position at first station
Orientation by Magnetic needle : Procedure-
a) Suppose A and B are the two stations. The plane table is set up at station A and
leveled by sprit level. The centering is done by U fork and plumb bob so that pint a
is just over the station A. Then the trough compass or circular box compass is placed
on the right hand top corner of the sheet in such a way that the needle coincides with
0-0 mark. After this, a line representing the north line is drawn through the edge of
the compass box. The table is clamped. 03
b) With the alidade touching the point a, the ranging rod atB is bisected and a ray is
drawn. The distance AB is measured and plotted to any suitable scale.
c) The table is shifted and centered over B, so that point b is just over B. the table is
leveled. Now the trough compass is placed exactly along the north line drawn
previously. The table is then turn clockwise or anticlockwise until the needle
coincides exactly with 0-0 mark of the compass. While turning the table, care should
be taken not to disturb the centering. In case it is, it should be adjusted immediately.
d) When the centering and leveling are perfect and the needle is exactly at 0-0, the
orientation is said to be perfect
OR
Orientation by back sighting: Procedure- Ref Fig. bellow
a) Suppose A and B are two stations. The plane table is set up over A. the table is
leveled by spirit level and centered by U-fork so that point ‘a’ is just over station A.
The north line is marked on the right hand top corner of the sheet by trough
compass.
b) With the alidade touching ‘a’, the ranging rod at B is bisected and a ray is drawn.
The distance AB is measured and plotted to any suitable scale. So the point ‘b’
represents station B. 02
c) The table is shifted and set up over B. It is leveled and centered so that ‘b’ just over
B. Now the alidade is placed along the line ‘ba’, and the ranging rod at A is bisected
by turning the table clockwise or anticlockwise. When the centering, leveling and
bisection of the ranging rod at A are perfect, then the orientation is said to be perfect.

e) Explain importance of bench mark in leveling and state types of bench mark.
To start with any type of leveling work it must have to start with respect some 02
reference point because all R.L.s of different point are relative RLs. Hence to start any type
of leveling work B.M. is important because without that leveling operation cannot be
continued i, e.to find H.I.and then R.L. of other points or to find rise and fall then find R.Ls.
Types of B.M.:

i)Base line ii)check line
iii)Tie line iv)Tie station
02

Description
AB :- Base line: “The line on which the formwork of the survey is built is known as the
base line,
DE :- Tie Line : The line joining the tie stations are known as tie line, 02
HI –Check Line : The line joining the apex point of triangle to some fixed point on its
base
Tie Stations : F,D,-Subsidiary stations taken on the main survey line are known as Tie
Stations

b) The following bearings have been observed while carrying out a closed compass
traverse in clockwise direction.
Line Observed
F.B B.B
AB 285030’ 105030’
0
BC 32 00’ 210000’
CD 149000’ 331030’
0
DA 198 30’ 18000’
Calculate the error due to local attraction and find corrected bearing and also compute the
included angles.
Ans:-
Step 1: Find the difference between F.B, And B.B. Of a line and determine the Station
free from Local Attraction.

DA 198030’ 18000’ 180030’ At d 30’ 198000’ 180030’ 133000’

Step 2: Hence the Difference between F.B. Of line =1800,there forestations A and B
are free from Local Attraction and bearings observed at A and B are already correct
Start from: F.B. of BC = 32000’
To find BB of BC = +18000’ = 212000’
To find correction at c station = -210000’
------------------
Correction at stations C = +200’
To find correct FB of CD = +14900’
-------------------
Correct FB of CD = 151000’
To find BB Of CD = +18000’
Correct BB of CD = 331000’
To find correction at station D = - 331030’
------------------
Correction at station D = - 0030’
To find correct FB of DA =+ 198030’
Correct FB of DA = 198000’
To find correct BB of DA = -180000’

Correction BB of DA = 1800’
= observed BB of DA
Sample calculation Included angles o.k. check is verified
Included angles =B.B of preceding line FB of next line i.e.
< A =(BB OF DA-FB of AB)
= 180 - 285030’
= +267030’ >180
< A=92030’ (3600-267030)
Similarly < B=105030’-32000’=73030’
< C=2120001-151000’=61000’
< D=3310001-198000’=133000’
(2n-4) x 90=360000’

c) The series of staff reading observed on a continuously sloping ground are

0.850,1.650,2.540,3.255,0.655,1.250,1.955,2.650,3.250,1.150,1.655,2.055 And
3.255.The first reading was taken on a B.M. Of R.L. 150.000 Calculation the R.l of
all points by collimation plane method. Apply usual checks. Show tabulation

Ans:-Arithmetic check
∑BS -∑FS = Last RL-first RL
2.655-9.76 = 142-895-150.000
-7.105 = -7.105
Ok check is verified
Sample calculation
H.I-RL of BM (or RL of CP)+BS
RL of any point =H.I-(IS or FS)

C.P.(1) second set 147.595+0.655=148.250
C.P.(2) Third set 145.595+1.150=146.250
