1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Develop your personal definition for the practice of surveying.
UV
Answers will vary by response. See Section 1.1 for book definitions.
1.2 Explain the difference between geodetic and plane surveys.

From Section 1.4,
In geodetic surveys the curved surface of the earth is considered by performing the
IA
computations on an ellipsoid (curve surface approximating the size and shape of the
earth). In plane surveys, except for leveling, the reference base for fieldwork and
computations is assumed to be a flat horizontal surface. The direction of a plumb line
?_
(and thus gravity) is considered parallel throughout the survey region, and all
measured angles are presumed to be plane angles.

1.3 Describe some surveying applications in:
AP
(a) Construction

In construction, surveying is used to locate the precise location of structures such as
roads, buildings, bridges, and so forth. From the FIG definition of surveying, item 11:
PR
"The planning, measurement and management of construction works, including the
estimation of costs. In application of the foregoing activities surveyors take into
account the relevant legal, economic, environmental, and social aspects affecting each
project."
OV
(b) Mining

In mining, surveying is used to direct the locations of mining activities according to a
systematic plan, to make sure mining occurs within the boundaries of the claim, to
ED
connect tunnels and shafts, and to provide legal records of mining activities.

(c)Agriculture
In agriculture, surveying is used to determine the acreage of fields, to locate lines of
constant elevation for strip farming, to track harvesting machinery to enable the size of
