1. A new road is to be constructed with formation width of 25m, side slopes of 1

vertical to 2 horizontal. The heights of fill at the center line of three successive
cross-sections, 60m apart, are 3.5m, 4.3m, and 4.m, respectively. The existing
ground has a cross-fall of 1 in 12. Calculate the volume of the fill. [16]

2. (a) How would you select a suitable peg interval for a circular curve ? What do
you understand by unit chord and sub-chord?

is 600 . If the radius of the curve is 500m, Determine:
i. Tangent Distance

Q from the following data:
R.L of the instrument axis =200.150m
Vertical angle=-30 45’
Staff readings =1.450, 0.900, 0.350 m
Also determine the R.L of Q. Take k=100 and c=0.0. [16]

5. In order to determine the elevation of the top Q of a signal on a hill, observations

were made from two stations P and R. The stations P, R and the signal Q were in
the same plane.
If the angles of elevation of the top Q of the signal measured at P and R were

250 35’ and 150 5’ respectively, determine the elevation of the foot of the signal if the
height of the signal above its base was 4m.
The staff readings upon the bench mark (R.L = 105.42) were respectively 2.755
and 3.855m, when the instrument was at P and at R. The distance between P and
R was 120m? [16]

6. (a) Describe the methods of reducing the levels, and their relative advantages and
disadvantages.
(b) What is FLy Levelling and Differential Levelling? Explain. [8+8]

7. (a) What factors should be considered in deciding the stations of a chain survey?
(b) What detailed instructions would you give to a fresh trainee surveyor regarding
the care and use of his field book for recording survey measurements?
