(15 Marks) (Total Marks for Question 2 = 15 Marks)“CTION B COMPULSORY Question 3 Calculate the required information for setting out the four corners of the building shown in Figure 1 (below) by radiation from O.1.S.X. Tabulate the setting out information. Note: PartB The sides of the building are parallel to the boundaries. gj 3 5 5 8 a 22.0m 0° 00" 00" 3.0m 270° 00' 00" Boundary Figure 1 OLSX. NOT TO SCALE (10 Marks) In approximately 100 — 150 words give an account of the use of lasers for setting out civil engineering works. Possible headings:- @ Gp Gi) Gv) @) wi) Earthworks Survey High Rise Buildings Possible Exrors Roading Pipelines (10 Marks) (Total Marks for Question 3 = 20 Marks)SECTIONB COMPULSORY Question 4 Levelling Answer this part of Question 4 on the answer sheet provided (Al) The field notes shown on Page A1 of the answer sheet is for a closed loop differential levelling traverse (starting and finishing at BM.A with know RL = 27.613m) (a) Calculate the Provisional Reduced Levels using the rise and fall method. Fully check the reduction and show the misclose. (6 Marks) (b) Distribute the misclose in proportion to the number of set ups. Hence calculate the Adjusted Reduced Levels. (@ Marks) (© Describe three ways of reducing error in levelling? @ Marks)* “CTIONB COMPULSORY Question 5 (@) Answer this part of Question 5 on the answer sheet provided A2:- The field notes shown on Page A2 of the answer sheets are for a closed loop theodolite traverse a Gi) An: Reduce the theodolite readings to give bearings in terms of the origin Stn A - Stn E, bearing 199° 18’ 00" Give the bearing misclose, (8 Marks) Adjust the bearings around the loop for the misclose. @ Marks) swer this part of Question 5 on the answer sheet provided (A3): The data given in the traverse reduction form on Page A3 of the answer sheets are the corrected bearings and the measured lengths for a closed loop traverse. The grid coor dinates for mark A are also given. The average elevation of the area is 300m above mean sea level (level datum) and the grid scale factor for the region of the traverse is 0.99990. @ Gi) Gi) Using the form provided, caleulate the combined correction factor for the traverse lengths, incorporating a correction to mean sea level and the grid scale factor for the region, and calculate the corrected lengths. Elevation Correction Factor = R + (R + E) Where R = Radius of Earth (to mean sea level) =6 372 200m E = Elevation of survey above mean sea level (1 Mark) Using the form provided, calculate the latitudes and departures, carry out a Bowditch Adjustment and calculate the coordinates of the marks B, ©, D and E. (8 Marks) Calculate the linear precision of the traverse and write it in the form 1:X 000, Linear precision = linear misclose + total length of traverse.
