FC 11544 Land Surveying Practical - I
Synopsis
In this course, the students are introduced to the practical aspects of conventional land surveying. This includes the application of chain surveying, plane table surveying and compass surveying techniques in surveying of a small block and preparation of a survey plan. Additionally, they are exposed to sprit levelling, including the adjustments of a level instrument & computation of reduced level. Apart from that, various precautions for the errors and computations of corrections for error sources and adjustments procedures of the obtained miss-closure are also included.
Practical Tasks
- Chain Surveying
- Plane Table Surveying
- Compass Surveying
- Adjustment of a Level
- Levelling
