KNS 1073 ENGINEERING SURVEY – Assignment 1 (10%)

a) As stated in Table 1.0, a booking for a looping levelling survey was made at
BM100 with an initial reduced level of 11.500m. Given that the constant m value
is 10. Check and complete the calculation using Rise and Fall Method. Indicate
the missing values denoted as a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h and i.

b) As described in Table 2.0, a line of surveying levelling work is to be carried out

c) Calculate and check the staff readings for the following leveling survey as shown
in Figure 1.0. Use the Rise and Fall Method to complete the calculations.

Figure 1.0 Leveling work

d) A point Y is to be set out from a point X using 50m steel tape. The horizontal length
of XY is designed as 35.000m. During the setting out the steel tape is laid on the
ground and a tension of 70N is applied, the mean temperature at the time was 4 oC.
The reduced levels of X and Y are 22.75m and 24.86m respectively. The tape was
standardized on site as 40.983m at 50N tension and 12 oC on a baseline of length
41.005m and it has a cross-sectional area of 2.4mm2. Calculate the length that
should be set out on the tape along the direction XY to establish the exact position
of point Y.
