Traversing Week 10

State the primary purpose of a traverse network in surveying.

• To measure the depth of water bodies

• To establish control points and gather detailed survey data

• To calculate soil composition

• To study Earth's magnetic declination

Based on this statement, which type and name of traverse it is?
- Start a point A, end at point A

• - Mathematically & geometrically closed
  - Can be checked and adjusted (do correction)

• Closed Traverse, Link Traverse

• Closed Traverse, Polygon/Loop Traverse

• Open Traverse

Which instrument can be used for both distance measurement and angle observation in a traverse?

• Chain

• Prismatic Compass

• Theodolite

• Total Station

Explain the purpose of setting out in surveying.

• To collect detailed data about natural features.

• To calculate angles and bearings between points.

• To adjust the compass for magnetic declination.

• To establish the position of new constructions or road on the ground.

State the type of measurement in traverse.

• Linear Measurement & Angle Measurement

• Linear Measurement & Bearing Measurement

• Linear Measurement, Angle Measurement, and Bearing Measurement

• Angle Measurement and Bearing Measurement

Identify the capabilities of Total Station (you may answer more than 1)
Hint: 4 of the answer is correct!

• Angular measurements

• Feature identification

• Distance measurement

• Data recording and processing

• Coordinate determination

How does total station works? Select based on correct order.

• Angular measurement --> Distance measurement --> Line of sight

• Line of sight --> Angular measurement --> Distance measurement

• Distance measurement --> Line of sight --> Angular measurement

• Distance measurement --> Angular measurement --> Line of sight
