Book Description
Engineering surveying involves determining the position of natural and man-made features on or beneath the Earth’s surface and utilizing these features in the planning, design and construction of works. It is a critical part of any engineering project. Without an accurate understanding of the size, shape and nature of the site the project risks expensive and time-consuming errors or even catastrophic failure. This fully updated sixth edition of Engineering Surveying covers all the basic principles and practice of the fundamentals such as vertical control, distance, angles and position right through to the most modern technologies. It includes: * An introduction to geodesy to facilitate greater understanding of satellite systems * A fully updated chapter on GPS, GLONASS and GALILEO for satellite positioning in surveying * All new chapter on the important subject of rigorous estimation of control coordinates * Detailed material on mass data methods of photogrammetry and laser scanning and the role of inertial technology in them With many worked examples and illustrations of tools and techniques, it suits students and professionals alike involved in surveying, civil, structural and mining engineering, and related areas such as geography and mapping.

ISBN: 9780702188725
Category : Surveying
Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
Written for students of civil engineering, geomatics, or land surveying, this book covers a wide range of spatial-measurement methods that support civil engineering planning. Practical, real-life situations are used as examples to explain the methods introduced, which include leveling, traversing, satellite surveying, preparing topographic maps, and setting out roads, construction platforms, and reservoirs. The material introduces the international Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system, and the Cape, Hart94, and International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) survey data are described.

Book Description
The aim of Engineering Surveying has always been to impart and develop a clear understanding of the basic topics of the subject. The author has fully revised the book to make it the most up-to-date and relevant textbook available on the subject. The book also contains the latest information on trigonometric levelling, total stations and one-person measuring systems. A new chapter on satellites ensures a firm grasp of this vitally important topic. The text covers engineering surveying modules for civil engineering students on BTEC and degree courses and forms a reference for the engineering surveying module in land surveying courses. It will also prove to be a valuable reference for practitioners.
