    Midterm Exam July 9, 2020

    Surveying
    Lecturer: H. Nader Name:
    45 minutes, closed books & notes.
    Answer on questions sheets. No exam booklet.
    Programmable calculators are not allowed.

    1 - (10%) Find the elevation of point B from point A whose elevation is + 187.298 meters. Points
    A and B are on opposite sides of a minefield. Reciprocal leveling method was used with the
    following results. (Do not round figures).
    Setup at A side: Rod reading on A = 0.673 m. Rod reading on B = 2.416 m
    Setup at B side: Rod reading on A = 1.257 m. Rod reading on B = 2.992 m

    2 – (5%) The sum of interior angles of a hexagon is:

    a. 900º
    b. 1080º
    c. 720º
    d. None of the above
    3 – (15%) A differential leveling circuit started and ended on BM(A) elevation +98.367m
    passing thru the points TP1, TP2, TP3 and TP4. Fill in the missing differential leveling notes in
    the table below.

    POINT BS (m) HI (m) FS (m) Elevation (m)

    BM(A) 3.902 +98.367

    TP1 3.695 1.527

    TP2 1.752 1.176

    TP3 1.199 3.788

    TP4 2.725

    BM(A) 2.362 +98.402

    4 – (20%) Indicate whether the following statements are true or false.

    a- An odometer is used to measure horizontal angles. ( )

    b- Bearings vary from 0° to 180°. ( )

    c- As-built surveys are done to determine the location of executed works. ( )

    d- A leveling rod is used in chaining. ( )

    g- Barometric leveling is a precise leveling method. ( )

    5 – (25%) For the traverse below:

    2
    - Calculate the Azimuths of its sides.
    - Calculate the departures and latitudes and adjust them by the compass rule.

    Side Bearing Length Azimuth Unadjusted Unadjusted Balanced Balanced
