What are the principles and objectives of engineering surveying?

Question image

Understand the Problem

The text discusses the principles and objectives of engineering surveying, including the definition of surveying, the process of leveling, and the objective of preparing a map that accurately represents geographical features.

Answer

Determine positions, measure distances/angles, prepare maps.

The main objectives of engineering surveying are to determine the relative position of points on the Earth's surface, measure distances and angles, and prepare maps showing horizontal projections. Key principles include working from whole to part and verifying new stations with multiple measurements.

The main objectives of engineering surveying are to determine the relative position of points on the Earth's surface, measure distances and angles, and prepare maps showing horizontal projections. Key principles include working from whole to part and verifying new stations with multiple measurements.

More Information

Surveying includes measuring and mapping Earth's surface. A major principle is 'working from whole to part' to avoid cumulative errors.

Tips

Ensure accurate angle and distance measurements to prevent errors in mapping.
