Course Overview
This course is a continuation of SURV 1161 and will introduce Geomatics students to more complex and varied survey computation techniques. The course specifically covers control survey calculations using intersection and resection methods; linear transformation of local to global rectangular coordinate systems; computation of land areas using a variety of methods including Simpson's Rule; the geometry of simple circular curves and the computation of layout data for these types of curve; the theory and practical application of calculations for symmetrical parabolic vertical curves; area calculations for road cross-sections and volume calculations for typical earthwork applications; the subdivision of land parcels to meet specific design requirements.
