curve when inperted at both ends of a circular curve? b) Calculate the distance between theodolite station and
4 subtense bar if the vanes on the bar are 3m apart and
.
the horizontal angle is 1430
d) Discuss briefly with necessary expressions the
significance of Weisbach Triangle Method in the context c) Discuss a method of determination of height and
of Tunnel surveying. 5 distance of an inaccessible point in theodolite survey.
3. a) Calculate all the data necessary for setting out a 50 4+4+8 = 16
curve by Method of Tangential Angles between two
tangent lines BA and BC with the following data: Included
angle ABC = 1440, chainage of B is 1238m, the peg
interval = 30m least count of theodolete = 20.

highway? 3

4. a) Deduce the necessary expression for forward tangent

length (Tf ) of a reverse curve. 6

b) Two straights parallel to each other have a distance of

separation of 65m. They are to be connected by a
reverse curve such that the first curve of 600m radius
has a long chord of 100m. Calculate (i) The radius of
the second curve. (ii) The distance between the tangent
points. (iii) The distance between the tangent points
measured along the parallel straights. 3+3+3

positions of surveying stations. 7
The following traverse is run from A to B along the side
of the wood. b) A vertical staft was excavated and two plumb wires
(A and B) were suspended into it at a distance of 3.637
