set cell vertical height
"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 submit the coversheet for the assignment, your work for Parts 1 & 2, and printouts of Parts 3-4. Also, submit your Excel file for Parts 3-4 to the Dropbox in Canvas.

Problems

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

    Station BS HI FS Elevation
    BM1 1.23     100.00
    TP1 4.52   6.64  
    TP2 6.78   7.54  
    TP3 3.71   3.25  
    BM2     9.98  

 

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

    Station BS HI FS Elevation
    BM1 4.72     864.38
    TP1 7.12   3.56  
    TP2 9.45   3.78  
    TP3 3.95   4.98  
    TP4 3.15   6.84  
    BM2     1.54  

 

  1. Develop a spreadsheet to compute the elevations from backsight (BS) and foresight (FS) data. 


    Your spreadsheet should look similar to the one shown below:

 

  1. Use your spreadsheet to compute the elevations from backsight (BS) and foresight (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. Please reqad it before you turn in this assignment. You will be graded throughout the semester according to the policy outlined in it.
