SURVEYING: ERROR SOURCES IN TOTAL STATION Total Station Error Sources All theodolites measure angles with some degree of imperfection. These imperfections result from the fact that no mechanical device can be manufactured with zero error. In the past very specific measuring techniques were taught and employed by surveyors to compensate for minor mechanical imperfections in […]

RECONNAISSANCE SURVEY METHODS FOR HIGHWAY ROUTE SELECTION Reconnaissance survey is done to examine the general character of the area for the purpose of determining the most feasible route or routes for further more detailed investigations. Data collected from reconnaissance survey is used for feasibility study of all different routes, preparation of approximate estimates of quantities […]

What Is Marine Surveying? Marine surveying is the practice of inspecting marine equipment, primarily boats and cargo, to determine safety and market value. A marine surveyor may be called in to assess a damaged vessel for insurance purposes, appraise a vessel that is being sold, or even serve as an expert witness in court. Schools […]

BEARING CAPACITY OF SOIL AND CALCULATION OF BEARING CAPACITY What is bearing capacity of Soil? The bearing capacity of soil is defined as the capacity of the soil to bear the loads coming from the foundation. The pressure which the soil can easily withstand against load is called allowable bearing pressure. Following are some types […]

CONTOUR MAPS & THEIR USES A contour line is a imaginary line which connects points of equal elevation. Such lines are drawn on the plan of an area after establishing reduced levels of several points in the area. The contour lines in an area are drawn keeping difference in elevation of between two consecutive lines […]
