Synopsis

This updated third edition maintains the same accessible, applications-driven approach as its predecessors - beginning with a firm foundation in the principles of surveying, then supporting this foundation with real-world construction applications. While Kavanagh does reflect the latest developments in techniques and instrumentation, coverage also includes in-depth discussions of more traditional topics. A new chapter on the Global Positioning System (GPS), is included - a new technology that is rapidly replacing more traditional positioning techniques, and there is new material on traverse adjustment practices using raw field coordinates, total stations, High Accuracy Reference Network (HARN), formula-derived vertical curve computations and vertical positioning.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

This easy-to-read text covers all the fundamentals of surveying with an emphasis on the practical applications. The author's many years of field and management surveying experience give him a unique perspective from which to design surveying texts. The latest in technological innovations have been included for both data gathering and construction layout surveys. Included are up to date introductions to airborne imagery, satellite imaging, geographic information systems (GIS), and satellite positioning (GPS).

Some of the key features include:

• Expanded glossary.
• Coverage of Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM).
• Expanded coverage of total station basic operations.
• Introduction to the geomatics concept.
• Expanded instructor's manual, with a CD-ROM containing illustrations from the text.
