KIA1005 (ENGINEERING SURVEY)-ASSIGNMENT 1 2021/2022

QUESTION 1

Traversing was carried out in one remote area. Observations data were taken from station P and
Q with three traverse legs as follows: PA (length is 125 m & bearing is S 60° 30’ W), PQ (length
is 200 m & bearing is N 30° 30’ E), QB (length is 150.5 m & bearing is N 50° 15’ W). Compute
the length of AB and its bearing and also the angles of PAB and QBA

QUESTION 2

A gradient of 1 in 400 falling from elevation 67.45 m was set out by driving pegs at 100 m intervals
with the top of the pegs on the required gradient. After a time, it was suspected that some of the
pegs had been disturbed and the follow

QUESTION 3
A staff was held vertically at a distance of 100m and 300m from the centre of a theodolite fitted
with stadia hairs and the staff intercepts with the telescope horizontal were 0.990 and 3.000
respectively. The instrument was then set over a station A of RL 950.50 m and the height of
instrument was 1.42 m. The stadia hair readings of a staff held vertically at station B were 1.00,
1.83 and 2.67 m while the vertical angles was 10° 00’. Find the distance AB and RL of B.
