s School of the Environment Technology Semester 2 Examinations 2008-2009 CN106 ENGINEERING SURVEYING Time allowed: THREE hours Answer ALL questions Formula sheet provided Booking sheets provided Tuesday 9th June 2009, 10:00-13:00 hours Question 1 A rectangular building ABCD is to be set out on level ground from two control stations, S1 and S2 using a total station. The coordinates of the building corners and control stations are: Point m E m N A 347.820 133.580 B 328.670 117.510 C 341.530 102.190 D 360.680 118.263 S1 337.190 57.820 S2 369.760 86.620 Calculate the data required to set out the building corners by bearing and distance from control station S1 AND describe the field procedure for doing this. (15 marks) Having completed the setting out, describe how you would check this and calculate any data required for this. (5 marks)  Question 2 The measured angles and horizontal lengths of a traverse are shown in the traverse abstract below. The coordinates of station A are 350.000 mE, 500.000 mN. The bearing of the line AB is 66°08’36” Calculate the adjusted coordinates of stations B, C and D using the traverse calculation sheet provided. (16 marks) Would you accept this traverse for setting out? Give reasons for your answer (4 marks)  Question 3 The horizontal angle readings shown below are taken using a total station that has been correctly set up and levelled above point A. Face Point sighted Horizontal circle reading FL B 00° 25’ 17” FL C 124° 56’ 33” FL D 201° 28’ 02” FL E 330° 12’ 12” FR E 150° 12’ 00” FR D 21° 27’ 48” FR C 304° 56’ 19” FR B 180° 24’ 56” Book the readings in a suitable format on the booking sheet provided and calculate values for the horizontal angles BC, CD and DE (10 marks) A steel tape of nominal length 30 m was used to measure the distance between the two points A and B by suspending it between supports.
