Module 2

The document discusses the principles of remote sensing, also known as photogrammetry, and its applications in highway and bridge engineering. It outlines the considerations for the location of proposed highways and bridges, including cost estimation, traffic distribution, and site surveys. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of detailed site data and surveys for bridge construction to ensure safe passage over obstacles.

Location of the Proposed Highway
Consideration when designing;

• Reliable Estimate of the Cost


• Character and Hourly Distribution of Traffic
• Economic and Community Benefit Factor
• Availability of Funds
Location Survey

• Reconnaissance survey of the entire area between terminal points.


• Reconnaissance survey of all feasible routes.
• Preliminary survey of the best route.
• Location survey, staking of the right of way and of the highway
including the structure for construction.

Bridges

ENGR. GIAN CARLO B. DUL
Bridge
• It is constructed for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle, which is
usually something that is otherwise difficult or impossible to cross.

Requirements to be considered;

• A complete data report and special survey of the site


• Prepare sketches and full-scale map and profiles
• The survey report must contain an accurate data of the waterway
for all behavior of water
• There must be a complete report on the foundation condition and
the stream characteristics.
• A complete data on the adjacent structures particularly the
waterway opening
• If possible, skewed bridge should be avoided.
