Course Overview
This course is a continuation of SURV 2261 and the final Survey Computations course for the Geomatics Engineering Technology Diploma Program. The course specifically covers a review of error types, sources of errors and probability theory, the propagation of random errors in measurements, areas and volumes; a review of horizontal circular curves including compound and reverse curves; the geometry and computation methods used for symmetrical and non-symmetrical spiral curves; the computation of terminal curves for legal Right of Way applications; a review of symmetrical vertical curves and the geometry and computation methods used for non-symmetrical vertical curves.
