Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to the principles and methods of surveying, a field of engineering crucial to the construction and development of infrastructure. The author recognizes a gap in existing surveying literature, where books either focus too heavily on basic concepts or delve too deeply into specialized areas, leaving the reader with an incomplete understanding of the practical applications of surveying. This book aims to bridge this gap, providing students with a thorough grounding in surveying techniques, while offering experienced surveyors and civil engineers detailed insights into real-world applications. The book delves into a wide range of surveying methods, from the traditional use of chains and other basic instruments to more sophisticated techniques involving angular instruments like the theodolite and the compass. It explores the critical process of leveling, examining the various instruments and techniques used to determine elevation differences and map out the contours of the land. The text then moves to more specialized topics, covering the application of surveying principles to railway and road construction, the burgeoning field of tacheometry or stadia surveying, the intricate alignment of tunnels, and the surveying needs of water supply projects. The author also provides detailed information on hydrographical or marine surveying, a field crucial for charting coastlines, harbors, and waterways. The book culminates with a dedicated chapter on astronomical observations used in surveying, highlighting their importance in surveying uncharted territories. This text offers a valuable resource for both budding engineers and seasoned professionals, providing a robust framework for understanding the practical nuances and applications of surveying in the construction of roads, railways, water supply systems, and other essential infrastructure projects.
