    QUESTION 1

    Choose the correct word(s) from those given in brackets. Write only the word(s) next to
    the question number (1.1–1.5) in the ANSWER BOOK.

    1.1 A theodolite can be used to set out (vertical angles/horizontal


    angles/levelling/all three).

    1.2 A traveller is mainly used to (control an excavation/pipe laying/water mains


    hydraulic pressure).

    1.3 Errors are classified as (gross errors/systematic errors/accidental errors/all


    three).

    1.4 Instrument is a common site name given to any (surveying instrument on a


    tripod/hand held instrument/a type of tape measure).

    1.5 One of the basic requirements when setting up a levelling instrument is to


    (adjust the circular bubble to be in its centre/make sure that the tripod feet are
    not firmly forced on the ground/the top of the tripod is sloping gently).
    (2 × 5) [10]

    QUESTION 2

    Indicate whether the following statements are TRUE or FALSE. Choose the answer
    and write only 'true' or 'false' next to the question number (2.1–2.5) in the
    ANSWER BOOK.

    2.1 An alternative term for a chainage is survey station.

    2.2 A surveyor should be a registered professional.

    2.3 Angular measurement is a horizontal or vertical measurement in degrees,


    minutes and seconds between two points from a third point.

    2.4 Plane survey covers a relatively small area to the extent that the curvature of
    the earth is ignored.

    2.5 Setting out is placing of pegs in the ground to mark out limits for a structure,
    foundation, road earthwork and road final levels. (2 × 5) [10]

    QUESTION 3

    Briefly explain the following terms used in surveying:

    3.1 Staking

    3.2 Scale

    3.3 Plane surveying

    3.4 Booking

    3.5 Plan (3 × 5) [15]

    QUESTION 4

    4.1 Reduce the levelling information in TABLE 1 (ADDENDUM A) to obtain


    elevation of points A, B, C, D, E and F using the rise and fall method. Do the
    necessary checking for error (DO NOT DO ANY CORRECTIONS). Do ALL
    the calculations in TABLE 1 and submit it. (15)

    4.2 State FIVE general requirements for accurate taping. (10)


    [25]

    QUESTION 5

    5.1 Draw the surveying co-ordinate system diagram showing the 'X' and 'Y' axis,
    direction and bearings. (6)

    5.2 State any TWO practical uses of contours. (4)

    5.3 Explain how you would set-out a rectangular site along a road if the road is
    used as a reference on the site plan. (10)

    5.4 A line 'A' measures 5 cm from a datum line on a vertical section of scale
    1 : 20. A second line 'B' measures 6 cm from the same datum on the same
    vertical scale. The two lines are 20 cm apart on a horizontal scale of 1 : 100.
    Find the gradient between A and B as a ratio and a %. (5)

    QUESTION 6

    6.1 The standard temperature of a tape is 16 0C and the coefficient of expansion


    is 0,00012/ 0C.

    What is the reduced horizontal distance if the measured distance is 348 m in


    a slope of 50501 and a temperature of 32 0C? (5)

    6.2 Given the co-ordinates:

    C -1056,48 +310769,26
    D -9677,96 +369542,77

    Calculate the orientated distance between C and D. (10)

    FORMULA SHEET

    Any applicable formula may be used.

    ∆h= 50Isin 2Ө + HI – MH = 100IsinӨcosӨ + HI – MH

    Or

    V = - KS cosӨ sinӨ

    HD =100/cos2Ө of KScosӨ

    Ct =L.e.(Tm-Ts), Ct=L.e(Tm-Ts) of L[1+e(Tm-Ts)]

    Cs = L. (1-cosӨ)

    Cs = H (secӨ-1)

    Ce = L.H/R

    Slope = Δh / HD

    V =d/3 [(y1+yn) + 2(y3+y5+….+yn-2) +4(y2+y4+…..+yn-1)]

    α = tan-1 ∆y/∆x

    α = tan-1 ∆x/∆y+90°

    α = tan-1 ∆y/∆x+180°

    α = tan-1 ∆x/∆y+270°

    S = ∆y/sinα
    S = ∆x/cosα
