ENGG. SURVEY QUIZ BCV302 AY 24-25

What is the definition of engineering surveying?

• Engineering surveying involves the design of buildings and structures.

• Engineering surveying is the study of environmental impacts.

• Engineering surveying is the analysis of geological formations.

• Engineering surveying is the measurement and mapping of land for engineering projects.

Why is surveying important for civil engineers?

• Surveying is not relevant to the construction industry.

• Surveying is important for civil engineers because it provides essential data for planning and executing construction projects accurately.

• Surveying is only necessary for land ownership disputes.

• Surveying is primarily used for environmental studies.

Name the different types of surveying mentioned.

• aerial surveying

• geodetic surveying

• land surveying, topographic surveying, hydrographic surveying, construction surveying

• environmental surveying

What is a control survey?

• A control survey is a method for estimating land value.

• A control survey establishes reference points for accurate measurements in surveying.

• A control survey is used to create topographic maps.

• A control survey measures the temperature of the soil.

What is the purpose of a cadastral survey?

• To create urban development plans

• To assess environmental impact

• The purpose of a cadastral survey is to define and document land boundaries and ownership.

• To measure the height of buildings

What are the limitations of chain surveying?

• Highly accurate on uneven terrain

• Suitable for measuring angles directly

• Limitations of chain surveying include: unsuitability for large areas, reliance on straight lines, sensitivity to obstacles, reduced accuracy on uneven terrain, and inability to measure angles directly.

• Effective for large areas without obstacles

What is the function of a laser distance meter?

• To create holograms using laser technology.

• To amplify sound waves for better audio quality.

• To project images onto surfaces using laser light.

• To measure distances accurately using laser technology.

List the terms used in theodolite surveying.

• Measuring Tape

• Compass

• Surveying Rod

• Theodolite, Horizontal Circle, Vertical Circle, Telescope, Leveling Screw, Plumb Bob, Tripod, Base Plate, Graduation, Reading, Angle Measurement, Sight Line, Refraction, Collimation, Station, Benchmark

How do you set up a theodolite?

• Use a compass to set the theodolite's angle.

• Align the theodolite with the sun for accuracy.

• Set up a theodolite on a stable, level surface, adjust the tripod legs, level the instrument, and align it with a reference point.

• Place the theodolite on a soft surface like grass.

What are the advantages of using a total station in surveying?

• Manual data entry and processing

• Low cost and affordability

• Limited range and accuracy

• Advantages of using a total station include high precision, efficiency in data collection, automation, real-time data processing, and integration with other technologies.
