These maps are crucial for planning, design, estimation, and Construction decisions. Diploma holders need to understand different surveying methods and equipments. They should also be skilled in using and operating these equipments. This course is designed to help diploma holders easily conduct surveys using equipments like chain/tape, prismatic compass, dumpy level, or digital auto level. They will learn to measure dimensions, calculate areas and volumes, and prepare accurate drawings, enhancing their practical knowledge and field competency. | ## Course Outcome: After Completion of the Course, the Student will able to: | No | Course Outcomes | RBT Level | |------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------| | 01 | Explain the basic concepts, classification of surveying, objectives, and principles of surveying and use various scales in practical surveying tasks. | R & U | | 02 | Select the appropriate equipment for conducting surveys based on linear measurements, identify and compute the error, and calculate the area of a given drawing. | R, U, & A | | 03 | Apply traverse surveying techniques using a compass and plane table to complete the survey project, removing errors and plotting the traverse. | R, U, & A | | 04 | Apply leveling techniques to carry out levelling projects using Dumpy level/ Digital level/ Auto level and prepare contour drawing. | R, U, & A | | 05 | Identify parts of theodolite and perform temporary adjustments | R & U | *Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (RBT) ## GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Program Name: Diploma in Engineering Level: Diploma Branch: Civil Engineering Course / Subject Code : DI02006011 Course / Subject Name: Basic Surveying ## Teaching and Examination Scheme: | Teaching Scheme (in Hours) | Teaching Scheme (in Hours) | Teaching Scheme (in Hours) | Total Credits L+T+ (PR/2) | Assessment Pattern and Marks | Assessment Pattern and Marks | Assessment Pattern and Marks | Assessment Pattern and Marks | Total | |-------------------------------|-------------------------------|-------------------------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|---------| | L | | PR | | Theory | Theory | Tutorial / Practical | Tutorial / Practical | Marks | | | T | | C | ESE (E) | PA / CA (M) | PA/CA (I) | ESE (V) | | | 02 | 0 | 02 | 03 | 70 | 30 | 20 | 30 | 150 | ## Course Content: | Unit No. | Content | No. of Hours | % of Weightage | |-------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------|-------------------| | 1 | Introduction to Surveying: 1.1 Definitions, Objectives, and uses of surveying, Classification of Survey, Principles of Survey. 1.2 Types of Scale and selection of scale, Construction of diagonal scale | 02 | 7 | | 2 | Linear Measurement: 2.1 Methods & Accessories of Linear Measurement, Principle of Chain Surveying, Method of Chaining on Level Ground. 2.2 Errors and Mistakes in Chaining and Precautions Against it, Chain and Tape Corrections, Ranging. 2.3 Well-Conditioned and Ill-Conditioned Triangles, Selection of Survey Stations, Equipments for Chain Survey. 2.4 Procedure of Field Work, Conventional Symbols, Procedure & Equipments for Plotting. 2.5 Computation of Area from Plotted Plan using Planimeter. 2.6 Calculation of Area by The Mid-Ordinate Rule, The Average- Ordinate Rule, The Trapezoidal Rule, and Simpson's Rule.
