    CAT II Take Away

    This document contains instructions for four survey problems: 1) A road curve replacement problem where a 200m parabolic curve replaces an existing 100m curve. The question asks for the depth of excavation required at the midpoint and reduced levels at 30m intervals on the new curve. 2) A 120m vertical parabolic curve problem joining gradients of 1 in 200 and 1 in 300. The question asks for levels at 15m intervals and the distance where a car's headlight beam will strike the road. 3) A circular curve problem where two straights meet at a 30 degree deflection angle with a 200m radius curve. The question asks to tabulate setting out data assuming 20m chords.

    SURVEYING III

    CAT II (Take away)

    Instructions: attempt all question

    a) An existing length of road consists of a rising gradient of 1 in 20, followed by a vertical


    parabolic crest curve 100 m long, and then a falling gradient of 1 in 40. The curve joins
    both gradients tangentially and the reduced level of the highest point on the curve is 173.07
    m above datum. Visibility is to be improved over this stretch of road by replacing this curve
    with another parabolic curve 200 m long. Find the depth of excavation required at the mid-
    point of the curve. Tabulate the reduced levels of points at 30-m intervals on the new curve.
    (9 marks)
    b) A vertical curve 120 m long of the parabola type is to join a falling gradient of 1 in 200 to
    a rising gradient of 1 in 300. If the level of the intersection of the two gradients is 30.36 m
    give the levels at 15-m intervals along the curve. If the headlamp of a car was 0.375 m
    above the road surface, at what distance will the beam strike the road surface when the car
    is at the start of the curve? Assume the beam is horizontal when the car is on a level surface.
    (9 marks)
    c) The centre-line of two straights is projected forward to meet at I, the deflection angle being
    30 ̊. If the straights are to be connected by a circular curve of radius 200 m, tabulate all the
    setting-out data, assuming 20-m chords on a through chainage basis, the chainage of I being
    2xxx.59 m. where xxx are the last three digits of your registration number. (5 marks)
    d) Determine the elevations of points M and N for the levelling network shown in the figure
    below for which: (7 marks)
    Datum elevations: BM1 = 1152.373 m; BM2 = I 140.984 m; BM3 = 1 128.665 m.,
    Observations: l1, from BMI to M = -16.881 m, over a distance of 2.0 km; l2, from BM2 to
    N = -6.472 m, over a distance of 2.5 km; l3, BM3 to N = 5.829 m (2.5 km); l4, N to M =
    0.995 m (2.0 km); and l5, BM3 to M = 6.834 km (2.5 km).

    Due on the Examination day.
