Overview

"The book deals entire surveying theory and practice to be studied by civil engineering students. It covers all basic methods of surveying like chain surveying, compass surveying, plane table surveying , theodolite surveying and explain use of levels, contouring etc. It also covers modern methods of leveling like stations, photogram metric surveying and remote sensing, astronomical survey is also covered. Application of surveying to engineering projects, calculation of areas and volumes of earthwork involved in the field work are explained and illustrated with problems. New in this edition: Apart from making some corrections and revisions at some places one new chapter """"Photogrammetry"""" has been added to this edition. Diploma and degree students of civil engineering, architecture and mining will find this book useful."
