Course Outcome:
 Conduct theodolite traverse surveys at identified site.
 Conduct trigonometrically leveling
 Set out simple circular and transition curves at given location
 Compute areas and volumes using standard rules and equipment’s such as plannimeter
 Give layout of foundations for buildings as per plan/drawing
List of Experiments:
 Two point problem and three point problem
 Theodolite traversing and plotting of traverse by applying corrections in Gale’s traverse table
 Setting out simple circular curve by different methods
 Setting out combined curve (Transition - Circular – Transition)
 Setting out building foundations
 Computation of area of submergence and storage volume from contour maps for reservoir
projects.
Design based Problems/Open Ended Problems:
1. To find the capacity of reservoir
2. Identify location of recharge well for various sites
Term Work:
Term work shall be based on the following field projects conducted by students:
1. Total station survey project.
2. Theodolite traverse survey project.
3. Setting out of curve.
ACTIVE LEARNING ASSIGNMENTS: Preparation of power-point slides, which include videos,
animations, pictures, graphics for better understanding theory and practical work – The faculty will allocate
chapters/ parts of chapters to groups of students so that the entire syllabus to be covered. The power-point
slides should be put up on the web-site of the College/ Institute, along with the names of the students of the
group, the name of the faculty, Department and College on the first slide. The best three works should
submit to GTU.
