Study Notes
Aeronautical Charts and Surveying
- Aeronautical charts provide vital information for safe and efficient flying, including topography, obstacles, and navigation aids.
Angle of Repose
- Angle of repose is the maximum angle at which a sloping surface formed of a particular loose, unconsolidated material will stand without sliding or collapsing.
Land Surveying
- A base station is a fixed, identifiable point in land surveying, used as a reference for triangulation and positioning.
- A bench mark is a fixed, identifiable point with a known elevation, used as a reference for leveling and height determination.
Surveying Terminology
- Back sight refers to a sight taken on a previously established reference mark or bench mark in surveying.
Construction and Excavation
- A borrow pit refers to an area from which soil or other materials are taken for construction or excavation purposes.
CAD and COGO
- CADD stands for Computer-Aided Design and Drafting.
- COGO stands for Coordinate Geometry, referring to the use of mathematical coordinates to define and manipulate geometric shapes in CAD drawings.
Surveying and Traverses
- A closed traverse survey is a type of survey where the survey party returns to the starting point, allowing for error checking and correction.
- A control point survey determines the precise coordinates of a series of points, allowing for accurate mapping and positioning.
Slope and Angle
- A convex slope is a slope that curves outward, away from the horizontal.
Road Construction and Civil Engineering
- Cut and fill in road construction refers to the process of excavating and filling to create a level road surface.
- A cross section in civil engineering is a drawing or representation of a structure or feature, showing its internal composition and relationships.
- A deflection angle in surveying is the angle between two consecutive survey lines.
Highway Curves and Cartography
- A 'delta angle' refers to the angle formed by two consecutive tangents in highway curve terminology.
- The main function of cartography is to create and study maps, representing spatial data in a meaningful and useful way.
Civil Engineering Focus
- Civil engineering primarily focuses on the design, construction, and maintenance of physical infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and buildings.
Slope and Chord
- A concave slope is a slope that curves inward, towards the horizontal.
- A chord is a straight line segment within an arc or curve, used in civil technology to simplify complex shapes.
