                                             Surveying 

Surveying is the art of determining the relative position of different objects on the surface of the earth by measuring the horizontal distance between them and by preparing a map to any suitable scale.

Thus in this discipline the measurements are taken only in the horizontal plane. 

Objects of surveying


1.The aim of surveying to show a relative position of different objects on the surface of the earth. The map is drawn to some suitable scale.  

2. It shows the natural features of a country. such as town, villages, roads, railway, rivers etc.

3. Map may also include details of different engineering works such as roads, irrigation canal, railway etc.

4. To determine the boundries of the country.

Classification of surveying

1 Primary classification: 

Surveying is primarily classified as under

a. Plane surveying: We know that the shape of earth is spheroidal. Thus the surface of the earth obviously curved.

In plane surveying the curvature of the earth is not taken in consideration. This is because plane surveying is carried out over small area. So that the surface of the earth considered plane. Plane surveying is done on an area of less than 260 km2 (100 square miles).

Plane surveying is conducted by state agencies like the irrigation department, railway department.

b. Geodetic surveying: In geodetic surveying the surface of the earth taken into consideration. It is an extended over a large area. Geodetic surveying is carried out over a area exceeding than 250  km2

Geodetic surveying is conducted by the survey of India Department.

They are also known as trigonometric survey because they involves the knowledge of trigonometry during different operation.

2. Secondary classification:

Classification or types of Stone Masonry

 Classification of Stone Masonry These are two types and Rubble and Ashlar masonry are of the following types 1. Rubble Masonry In this type of masonry, stones of irregular sizes are used. The stones are obtained from quarry are taken to be used in the same form or are broken and shaped into suitable sizes by means of hammer as the work proceeds. The strength of rubble masonry depends upon 1. The quality of mortar 2. The proper filling of the mortar between the spaces of the stones. 3. The use of the long stones at frequent interval for proper bonding. a. Coursed rubble masonry In this type of rubble masonry the heights of stones vary from 20 to 50mm. This type of masonry is used for the construction of public and residential buildings.  Also coursed rubble masonry divided into 3 types 1. Coursed rubble masonry  I sort: In this type stones of the same height are used and the courses are the same heights.  The thickness of the mortar joint does not exceed 10mm. 2. Coursed rubble mason

Terms commonly used in chain surveying and reconnaissance survey and index sketch

 Terms commonly used in surveying 1. Frame work: The system of lines or triangle covering the area to the surveyed is called frame work. such as A, B, C, D, E and G. 2. Survey stations: The ends of a chain line denotes survey stations. Mainly two types of survey station 1 Main survey station 2 Subsidiary or tie station 1. Main station Main station is a point in chain survey where the two sides of a traverse or triangle meet.These stations commands the boundaries of the survey and are designated by capital letters such as A, B, C and D. 2. Subsidiary or tie station Tie station is a station on a survey line joining two main station. These are helpful the interior details of the area to be surveyed. and are designated by small letters such as a, b, c etc. Main survey line The chain line joining two main survey stations is called main survey line. AB and Bc is an example of main survey line. Tie line or subsidiary line A chain line joining two tie stations is called the tie line such as ab

What is floor and different types of floor, 1st, 2nd floors, basement, basement floor.

 Floors Floors are provided to divide a building into different levels for creating more accomodation one above the other within a certain limited space.  The bottom floor near the ground is known as the ground floor and the others floor above it are termed as upper floors , like first floor and second floor.  If there is any accomodation constructed below the natural ground level, it is nown as basement and the floor provided in it is known as the basement floor.  A floor may consits of two main components  a. A sub-floor that provides proper support to the floor covering and the superimposed loads carried on it. b. A floor covering which provides a smooth, clean, impervious and durable surface.
