CE120 Module Exam 2
Traversing Principles, Stadia Tacheometric Survey, Route Surveying and Simple Curves, and
Earthworks.
Question 1
A survey party proceeded to do their stadia survey work as follows. The transit was set up
at A and with the line of sight horizontal, took rod readings at points B and C which is 300
m and 80 m, respectively.
With rod at B the stadia interval was recorded to be 3.001 m and with the rod at C the
stadia interval was recorded to be 0.800 m. The distance from the instrument to the
principal focus was recorded to be 0.30 m. Then they went to survey other points with
some of the data recorded as follows with the transit at point D, the two points E and F
were sighted.
Rod at E
Stadia interval = 2.25 m
Vertical angle = +4º30’
Rod at F
Stadia interval = 3.56 m
Vertical angle = -3º30’
99.95
223.80
39.31
Question 2
From the table below, calculate the actual distance for each point given the multiplying and
additive constants equivalent to 98.4 and 0.5, respectively.
Question 3
Determine the required values of a given closed traverse.
Question 4
Question 5
The shortest distance between the point of commencement and the point of tangency of a
circular curve is known as______
Question 6
Double Parallel Distance or DPD can be used to determine the double area of closed
traverse by multiplying DPD to_________
Question 7
Question 8
Question 9
A 6o simple curve has a central angle of 44o. The stationing of the point of curve is
13+080. Find the:
15.00
m i.
Distance from the midpoint of the curve to the intersection of the
tangents at PC and PT;
13.91
m ii.
Distance from the midpoint of the curve to the midpoint of the long
chord joining the curvature and point of tangency; and,
133.33
13 + iii. Stationing of a point on the curve which intersects with the line
making a deflection angle of 8o with the tangent through PC.
Question 10
A roadway is to be designed on a level terrain. This roadway is 150 meters in length. Four
cross sections have been selected, one at 0 meters, one at 50 meters, one at 100 meters,
and one at 150 meters. The cross sections, respectively, have areas of 40 square meters, 42
square meters, 19 square meters, and 34 square meters. What is the volume of earthwork
needed along this road? Final answer in whole number.
4900
Volume of earthwork = m3
