BSABE 1-1 _CENGR1221-CQ5

It is a series of lines connecting successive points whose lengths and directions have been determined from field measurements

• Traverse

• Traversing

• Traverse Station

• Traverse Line

   It is the process of measuring the lengths and directions of the lines of a traverse for the purpose of locating the position of certain points

• Traverse

• Traversing

• Traverse Station

• Traverse Line

  A traverse method which is principally used in land surveying.

• Interior angle traverse

• Deflection angle traverse

• Angle to the right traverse

• Azimuth traverse

It is used frequently for the location survey of roads, railroads, pipelines, transmission lines, canals, and other similar types of survey.

• Interior angle traverse

• Deflection angle traverse

• Angle to the right traverse

• Azimuth traverse

It is employed when numerous details are to be located from the traverse stations and i is commonly used on city, tunnel, and mine surveys, and in locating details for a topographic map

• Interior angle traverse

• Deflection angle traverse

• Angle to the right traverse

• Azimuth traverse

The  latitude of a line is its projection onto the reference meridian while the departure of a line is its projection into ____.

• North-south line

•   Equatorial axis

• North-east line

• Reference parallel

• None of the choices

It is usually a short line of unknown length and direction connecting the initial and final stations of the traverse

• Traverse disclosure

• Error of closure in latitude

• Linear error of closure

• Error of closure in departure

The method of computing linear error of closure and applying corrections to the individual latitudes and departures for the purpose of providing a mathematically close figure is referred as ___.

• Triangulation

• Traverse adjustment

• Error distribution

• Side adjustment

• Angle adjustment

The compass rule is a very popular rule for adjusting a closed traverse. It is based on the assumption that

• The angular measurements are more precise than the linear measurements

• The errors in traversing are accidental

• All lengths were measured with equal care and all angles taken with approximately the same precision

• The linear measurement is more precise than the angular measurements

• The angular and linear errors in traversing are accidental.

It employed the latitude and departures are adjusted in a discretionary manner according to the surveyor’s assessment of the conditions surrounding the survey.

• Arbitrary method

• Compass rule

• Transit rule

• Least square method
