Study Notes
Geological Survey
- A Geological Survey aims to assess and map the geological features of an area, aiding in resource management, land use planning, and environmental protection.
Plane Table Survey
- The survey method involving simultaneous quick measurements and drawings is called a Plane Table Survey.
Military or Defense Survey
- The purpose of a Military or Defense Survey is to gather geographic information for military operations, including mapping terrain and tactical planning.
Compass Survey
- In a Compass Survey, chain or tape measurements are used to determine horizontal distances, while angular measurements help in establishing direction.
Archeological Survey
- An Archeological Survey's purpose is to locate, map, and assess archaeological sites to preserve cultural heritage and inform future excavations.
Control Survey
- A survey involving the taking of vertical and horizontal angles to establish control points is known as a Control Survey.
Perimeter Plotting
- The process where lines are first run around the perimeter of a plot and details are fixed in relation to these lines is referred to as Site Surveying.
Preferred Shape in Surveying
- The circle is preferred in surveying as it can completely cover an irregularly shaped area while minimizing unused space.
Connecting Points
- The process of establishing lines to connect points on the ground is known as Line Establishment.
Points in Surveying
- Each point in a sequence of connected lines is called a Point or Survey Point.
Closed Circuit in Survey
- When a series of connected lines forms a closed circuit in a survey, it is referred to as a Closed Traverse.
Traverse Types
- A Open Traverse extends along a general direction and does not return to the starting point in a survey.
