"The man who knows it all has lots to learn"  -  Unknown

Objective

The purpose of this assignment is twofold: first, you will have an opportunity to practice your skills in computing elevations from data recorded from a differential leveling survey, and second, you will get a chance to practice your skills in developing simple engineering spreadsheets for surveying applications.

You must hand in the cover sheet for the assignment, your solutions to Parts 1 and 2, and printouts of your spreadsheet for Parts 3 and 4. Also, submit your spreadsheet for Parts 3 and 4 to Canvas.

Problems

  1. Complete and check the level notes show below by hand calculations.

    Station BS HI FS Elevation
    BM1 3.10     100.00
    TP1 6.44   9.82  
    TP2 8.76   6.86  
    TP3 7.12   3.27  
    BM2     10.44  

 

  1. Complete and check the level notes show below by hand calculations.

    Station BS HI FS Elevation
    BM1 7.432     864.384
    TP1 7.121   1.862  
    TP2 6.946   6.733  
    TP3 5.397   6.491  
    TP4 4.312   4.682  
    BM2     5.111  

 

  1. Develop a spreadsheet to compute the elevations from back sight (BS) and fore sight (FS) data. 


    Your spreadsheet should look similar to one shown below.

 

  1. Use your spreadsheet to compute the elevations from back sight (BS) and fore sight (FS) data. 

 

Requirements

Your name and assignment number should appear in the top left corner of the spreadsheet. The date should appear in the top right corner of the spreadsheet.

Lastly, a web page describing the CIVL 1101 Excel homework policy is available. Read it before you turn in this assignment. You will be graded throughout the semester according to the policy outlined in it.
