Problem A -1% grade meets a +2.0% grade at station 470 of elevation 328.605 m. A vertical curve of length 120 m is to be used. The pegs are to be fixed at 10 m interval. Calculate the elevations of the points on the curve by (a) tangent corrections and (b) by chord gradients. Reference:
Problem Statment: A 30 m chain was tested before the commencement of the day’s work, and found to be correct. After chaining 100 chains, the chain was found to be half decimetre too long. At the end of day’s work, after chaining a total distance of 180 chains, chain was found to be one decimetre
Problem Statement: The distance Between two Stations was measured with a 20 m chain, and found to be 1500 m. The same was measured with a 30 m chain and found to be 1476 m. If the 20 m chain was 5 cm too short, what was the error in 30 m chain. Check the
Problem Statement: The True length of a line is known to be 500 m. The line was again measured with a 20 m tape and was found to be 502 m. What is the correct length of the 20 m tape? Reference: Problem 8, Chapter 3 – Linear Measurements, Book – Surveying vol.1, Author: Dr.
Problem Statement: The length of a line measured with a chain having 100 links was found to be 2000 links. If the chain was 0.5 link too short, find the true length of the line. Solution: Check the Other Solutions from this book here: Book Solution Manual – SURVEYING Vol.1 by Dr. B. C. Punmia
