Assignment I
1. What is an ellipsoid?
2. What is a geoid?
3. What is WGS in topographic surveying?
4. What is the vertical line of a place?
5. What is a meridian?
6. What is a parallel?
7. What is a geodetic point?
8. In topographic surveying, what is the abbreviation of UTM?
Answer:
1, An Ellipsoid is a kind of mathematical form which is created to help the calculation and
the measurement, Ellipsoid is used to calculate the data instead of using the geoids because
the calculation by using geoids is not always regular and accurate.
It has a regular form
It is not the same but quite similar to the form of geoids
It uses to replace the geoids for measures and calculation and it is determined by only
two parameters; semi-major axis and semi-minor axis, and the position of its center.
2, Geoid is the surface of zero altitude , and it is also a kind of equipotential surface of
gravity force. Geoid is normally located in the mean sea level or ocean level. Moreover, it
perpendiculars to the plumb line or the line of gravity. Its form is irregular (not round) and it
depends on the repartition of constitutive masses of earth.
3, The World Geodestic System(WGS) is a standard for use in cartography, geodesy, and
satellite navigation including GPS. It comprises a standard coordinate system for the Earth, a
standard spheroidal reference surface for raw altitude data, and a gravitional equipotential
surface(The Geoid) that defines the nominal sea level.
4, A vertical line in a place can be also called a plumb line or a line of gravity which is used
to compare with the column in order to know the column is vertical or not.
5, A meridian is a line of a spheroid connecting points of equal geodetic longitude . the
convergence of meridian angle defined by the true north and grid north.
6, Parallel is the line of latitude which is parallel to equatorial plane.
7, Geodetic point is the network we have the point or the network of point that:
is a kind of point which is spread on the land or the country or the reference point
build or materialized by strong material with sustainable signal
can be visible from long distance or can be a station which we can install equipment
on it
coordinates had been calculated with the precision
take into account the earth form when the earth is spherical, so we consider the
curvature of the earth during the calculation of coordinate of that point
8, The abbreviation of UTM is Universal Transverse Mercator(UTM).

2. Conversion from polar to rectangular coordinates
It consists of calculating the coordinates of a point B, knowing:
Coordinates of A: XA = 875.17 m and YA = 275.30 m
Azimuth AB = 79.335 gr
Distance AB = 106.10 m
Find the coordinates of point B
Since: 79.335 71 24'5.4''ABAz gr
so we get 1

Setting out
Scenario
As a new graduate you have gained employment as a graduate engineer working for a major contractor
that employs many staff and has a very high annual turnover. As part of your initial training period the
company has placed you in their engineering surveying department for a six-month period to gain
experience of all aspects of engineering surveying. One of your first tasks is to work with a senior
engineering surveyor to establish a framework of control survey points for a new highway development
consisting of a two kilometers by-pass around a small rural village that, for many years, has been blighted
by heavy traffic passing through its narrow main street.
Having established the control framework you are now required to establish the exact position of the
intersection points of the tangents to the circular curves that form the alignment of the road using
coordinates that have been provided to you by the road design team.
In this exercise you will carry out the geometric calculations that would enable you to determine the precise
position of the intersection points using the coordinates of the existing control survey points and survey
measurements.
Importance of Exemplar in Real Life
Figures 1 and 2 show the road construction scheme where the control survey points will have been
established along the approximate line of the road. The pronounced circular curves of the road can be
clearly seen and for each curve it will be necessary to establish the exact position of the curve’s intersection
point so that the full curve alignment can be accurately established. The technique described in this
exemplar would be used for this purpose.
Background Theory
Figure 3 shows two traverse points of known coordinates, A and B, together with a third point, P, where P
is the intersection point of one of the circular curves on the by-pass. The Easting (E) and Northing (N)
coordinates of P are known and its position has to be established in the field by measurements taken from
the already-established traverse points. Typically, P can be established by either:
Method (a): setting up the Total Station/theodolite at one of the traverse stations, say A, sighting at B,
turning off the angle α and measuring the horizontal distance from A to P. A wooden stake
with a centralised nail can be driven into the ground to physically locate P.
Method (b): if it is difficult or impossible to measure the distance from A to P setting up a Total
Station/theodolite simultaneously at both A and B with an operative at each. At A, the angle
33. Topographic Surveying

α is turned off and at B the angle β. Where the line of sight of both instruments meet, a
wooden stake with a centralised nail can be driven into the ground to physically locate P.
This process can be a little more difficult than that described in (a) as it requires two
instrument operatives to simultaneously direct the technician who will be driving in the
wooden stake in the correct location.
Figure 3: Coordinate geometry of traverse stations and a third point
In both cases geometrical relationships can be used to establish the necessary data. Hence: for method (a)
above we would require the distance AP and the angleα where:
