1. Derive an expression for the length and shift of a transition curve required for a
first-class railway track. [16]

2. How would you measure the horizontal angles at various triangulation stations
using a

(a) Repeating theodolite

(b) Direction theodolite. [8+8]

3. (a) Explain the detailed procedure, about the measurement of horizontal angle by
Reiteration method.
(b) Describe two different methods to determine the height of an inaccessible
spike with respect to a given bench mark, using a theodolite. Indicate the
calculations required in each method. [8+8]

4. (a) A tacheometer fitted with stadia wires 4 mm apart has its object glass
(f = 200 mm) fixed at a distance of 250 mm form the trunnion axis. From
the first principles establish the tacheometeric distance equation if the staff
intercept is ‘S’.
(b) Describe the conditions under which tacheometric surveying is advantageous.
[10+6]

5. (a) Describe a method of setting out a simple circular curve when the point of
intersection of the tangents is inaccessible.
(b) The first branch of a reverse curve has a radius of 9 chains. Find the radius
of the second branch so that the curve can connect parallel tangents 0.9 chain
apart. The distance between tangent points is to be 5.4 chains parallel to the
straights. Also calculate the lengths of the branches. [8+8]

6. (a) What are the different methods of adjusting a traverse in Gales system?
Explain one of the rules in detail.
(b) The bearing of two inaccessible stations ‘A’ and ‘B’ taken from station ‘C’
were 2250 001 and 1530 261 respectively. The coordinates of ‘A’ and ‘B’ were as
under
Station Easting Northing
A 300 200
B 400 150
Calculate the independent coordinates of ‘C’. [8+8]

7. Correct the observed altitude for the height of signal refraction and curvature from
the following data:
Observed altitude = + 20 48’ 39”
Height of instrument = 1.12 m
Height of signal = 4.87 m
Horizontal distance = 5112 m
Co-efficient of refraction = 0.07 m
R sin 1 = 30.88 m. [16]

8. Adjust the angles α and β, observations of which give

α = 200 10’ 10” weight 6
0
β = 30 20’ 30” weight 4
α + β = 500 30’ 50” weight 2. [16]
