ABSTRACT

This report is the outcome of survey camp 2074 organized by the department of civil Engineering, Sagarmatha Engineering College for the students of 072-BCE Batch as per Syllabus of Bachelor in Civil Engineering. The surveying practice were analyzed on the camp,thatwasheldinNuwakot, atInternationalScouts Training Center(ITC), Kakaniand scheduled for 11 working days, starting from 20th Ashwin and ending on 30th Aswin 2073 B.S. scheduled 6am to 6pm daily.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

The B.E. Survey Camp 2074, Scout International Training Centre (ITC), Nuwakot, organized by the Survey Instruction Committee, Sagarmatha Engineering College is a part of the four-year Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering course, third year first semester, carrying a total of 100 marks. The total duration of the survey camp was 10 days, from 20th of Ashwin to 30th Ashwin, 2074.

Thisisadetailedreportoftheworksperformedbygroupno.5duringthecampperiod. It briefly explains the working procedures and technique along with the observations, calculations, and methods of adjustment of error. In addition, it also contains the main problem faced during work and theirsolution, results ofallcalculations.

The work done duringthe camp durationcanbe categorizedinto:

Surveying is the art of determining the relative position of the points on, above or beneaththesurfaceoftheearthbymeansofdirectorindirectmeasurementsofdistance, directionandelevation.Italsoincludestheartofestablishingpointsbypre-determinedangularandlinearmeasurements.Theapplicationof surveyingrequiresskillaswellas the knowledge of mathematics, physics, and to some extent, astronomy. It comes first and before all Engineering works such as designing and construction of highways, water-supply systems, irrigation projects, building etc.

Insurveying,allmeasurementsoflengthsarehorizontal,orelsewherearesubsequently reduced to horizontal distances. The object of survey is to prepare plan or map so that it may represent the area on the horizontal plane. A plan or map is the horizontal projection of an area and shows only horizontal distances of the points. Vertical distances between the points are, however, shown by contour lines, hachure or some othermethods.

principles viz. workingfrom whole to part, consistency of the work, accuracy required and independent check.

The main objectives of surveying course allocated for civil engineering is to promote the basic knowledge of different surveying techniques relevant to civil engineering works in the professional practice.

General principles of surveying are

Workingfrom whole to part: In this principle the whole area is first framed out by main stations and survey lines. Then the area is divided into no. of well- conditionedtrianglesandlinearmeasurementsaredonewhichpreventsinerror accumulation.

Location of new control point by measurements from two control points:From fixed reference points new stations are fixed from at least two measurements. Measurements may be linear or angular(by chain, tape,theodolite,compass).

The major objectives of the survey camp organized for B.E. students are to provide an opportunity to consolidate and update their theoretical knowledge on the subject, to strengthentheirexperienceindealingwithpracticalproblemsandchallengespresented during engineering surveying in actual field conditions, and to help them to build up their level of confidenceto carryout engineeringsurvey on requiredaccuracy withina requiredtimeframe.

1.8 RELEVANCY OF THE CAMP

The main significance of the survey camp is the partial fulfillment of the bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. Apart from the academic purpose it is also helpful in the application of the theoretical knowledge about surveying in the realfield. Surveyingis one of the major field works to be done by civil engineers before the actual commencementofanyprojecthence the surveycamp helpstoapply various surveying techniques usedfor these tasks. It isalsohelpful to work in group with co-ordination.

The limitations are:

Instruments used were differentduringdifferent days incamp

Consistency of the surveyor.

Weatherand temperature variationin the projectarea.

Group discussion among the students

Most of the civil engineering in the professional fields is a team work. As one of the importantobjective ofour surveycamp is togive a professionaltastetowards different problem raised in the field of civil engineering, group discussion among the students helptofulfillthe objectives. Firstly, the group containing4-5 memberseachisdivided and all the members of the group has discussed about the responsibilities for fulfilling the given taskof the group by surveyinstructioncommittee.

Work scheduling

The major task that has to be done during the camp duration:

Road alignment survey

Bridge site survey

Topographicalsurveyof the area

Leveling

Curve setting

For better achievement of the results, these tasks were arranged and scheduled in well planned manner.

Teacher’s allocation or supervision

Survey camp has provided a platform to learn the practical knowledge and difficulties that has been arising in the scheduled time. Frequent assistance and supervision of the teachers were called out.

There were sufficient teachers for guidance, assistance and super vision of the task carried out by all the groups.
