Summary
The subject expands knowledge of Geodesy on displacement and deformation
measuring, geodetical setting-out nets, geodetical methods and procedures of
preparation and projection of building, construction, documentation and
operating reliability contol of buildings. It is continuing of the subject
Engineering Surveys 1.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Getting students to use the normal part of geodesy and geodetic methods and special procedures for the purpose of the survey, design, construction or installation and during use of buildings and technological equipment
Course Contents
1st Analysis of the accuracy of setting-out: The law and the actual accumulation of medium errors - a solution matrix, Analysis of point location accuracy of the identification method: polar intersection ahead of the distances of the intersection of forward-oriented direction, forwards from the angles of intersection,
resection of the angles, resection of oriented direction and duration (temporary position). Analysis of the accuracy point location setting-out using traverse. Analysis of the accuracy of the identification point position using orthogonal coordinates.
2nd Optimal conditions of the basic methods setting out of the point.
3rd Method of Intersection - principle, the analysis accuracy.
4th Basic concepts of issues setting - out of the building structures.
5th Legislation in the EG.
6th The norms for the setting of buildings.
7th Surveying in the preparation and design of buildings.
8th Setting out drawings.
9th Surveying the work during construction.
10th Survey to building documentation, dimension control
11th Geodesy in transport construction - basic concepts.
12th Transition curves - clothoid, cubic parabola, lemniscate
13th Height bending turns.
14th Setting out procedures for the construction of roads and railways.
15th Reconstruction of the railway arch.
16th Measurement and the setting of industrial equipment and special structures.
17th Measurement and reconstruction of monuments.
18th Accuracy analysis and the principle of setting - out of the line.
19th Setting out perpendicular and parallel lines.

Exercises outline:
1st Motion control networks.
2nd Orientation and spatial distance calculation.
3rd Determination of verticality of the factory chimney.
4th Project technical amendments.
