TACHEOMETRIC SURVEYING - Civil Engineering Notes KPSC

TACHEOMETRIC SURVEYING 


• Tachometry is a branch of angular surveying in which the horizontal and vertical distances ofpoints are obtained by instrumental observations. 
• Chaining is entirely eliminated in tachometry. 
• This method is most rapid but less accurate. 
• The accuracy of tachometry is less than that of chaining 
• The primary object of tacheometry is the preparation of contoured map or plan. 
• The instruments used in tacheometry are a tacheometer and a leveling or stadia rod. 
• Tacheometer is a transit theodolite having a stadia telescope ie, a telescope fitted with two additional cross hairs called stadia hairs.
• Stadia rod is 5 cm to I5 cm wide and 3 to 4m long. It is graduated in meters, decimeters and centimeters. • For short sights up to 100m a stadia theodolite and a leveling staff may be used. But for long sights, say more than 300m a tacheometer and stadia rod are required. 

TACHEOMETRIC METHOD 

I. STADIA METHODS 

1. Fixed hair method: 
• This is the most commonly used method in tachecmetry, In this method the stadia hair interval is fixed and the staff intercept IS taken. 
• The required horizontal and vertical distances are computed from this staff intercept. 
• In case of inclined sights, the staff may be held vertically or normal to the line of sight 

2. Movable hair method : 
• This method is rarely used. 
• In this method, the stadia wires can be moved by means of micrometer screws. 
• The staff is provided with two targets fixed at a known distance apart, usually 3m. 
• The variable stadia interval is measured. The required distance may be computed from this value 

II. TANGENTIAL METHOD 
• This method is used when the telescope of the instrument is not equipped with a stadia diaphragm. 
• In this method a staff fitted with two targets or vanes at a fixed distance apart, usually 3m is held at the station. 
• Vertical angles to the two vanes are observed with a theodolite. 
• Calculation of distance in stadia method

BASICS, SOURCES OF WATER, WATER DEMAND

Image
Raw Water Source The various sources of water can be classified into two categories: 1. Surface sources, such as a. Ponds and lakes; b. Streams and rivers; c. Storage reservoirs; and d. Oceans, generally not used for water supplies, at present. 2. Sub-surface sources or underground sources, such as a. Springs; b. Infiltration wells ; and c. Wells and Tube-wells. Water Quantity Estimation The quantity of water required for municipal uses for which the water supply scheme has to be designed requires following data: 1. Water consumption rate (Per Capita Demand in litres per day per head) 2. Population to be served. Quantity= Per capita demand x Population Water Consumption Rate Domestic Consumption  : 135 lpcd ( 200 if full flush system ) industrial demand : 70 lpcd public demand : 10 lpcd losses & thefts : 55 lpcd Offices , Schools : 45 - 90 lpcd Residential, Hospital : 180 lpcd Restorants, Railways : 70 lpcd Fire Fighting Demand: The per capita fire demand is very less on an ave...

MACHINE TOOLS - SHAPER MACHINE

Image
The shaper is a machine tool used primarily for:  1. Producing a flat or plane surface which may be in a horizontal, a vertical or an angular plane.  2. Making slots, grooves and keyways  3. Producing contour of concave/convex or a combination of these Working Principle: The job is rigidly fixed on the machine table. The single point cutting tool held properly in the tool post is mounted on a reciprocating ram. The reciprocating motion of the ram is obtained by a quick return motion mechanism. As the ram reciprocates, the tool cuts the material during its forward stroke. During return, there is no cutting action and this stroke is called the idle stroke. The forward and return strokes constitute one operating cycle of the shaper.  Construction: The main parts of the Shaper machine is Base, Body (Pillar, Frame, Column), Cross rail, Ram and tool head (Tool Post, Tool Slide, Clamper Box Block). Base:  - The base is a heavy cast iron casting which is fixed to the sh...
