Replacing course(s)
This course replaces the following course(s): SURV1120. Students who have successfully completed SURV1120 are not eligible to enrol in SURV2210.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of the course students will be able to:
1. Apply the fundamental concepts used for the surveying of sites for road and/or rail curves.
2. Execute the calculations to permit the setting out of circular and transition horizontal and parabolic vertical road or rail curves.
3. Produce surveys and drawings for long sections and cross sections which allow for the calculation of areas and volumes for earthworks for road and rail curves.
4. Implement the concepts and practicalities of traversing, especially for control relating to the above matters.
