Study Notes
Chain Surveying
- Chain surveying involves direct measurement of the sides of triangles without angular measurements.
- It is the simplest type of surveying, ideal for specific conditions.
Suitable Conditions for Chain Surveying
- Effective on fairly level and open ground, accommodating simple details.
- Appropriate for creating large-scale plans, such as for estates and fields.
- Best suited for small areas due to its simplicity and efficiency.
Unsuitable Conditions for Chain Surveying
- Not recommended for large expanses, as the method may become impractical.
- Challenges arise in areas with dense details or complexities, such as wooded or difficult terrain.
Principle of Chain Surveying
- Based on the concept of triangulation, where a framework of triangles is established.
- A triangle is considered the simplest plane figure for plotting, making it foundational for measurements in this method.
