We use calculators to solve arithmetical problems, word pro- cessors to check spelling and grammar in texts and computer-aided design (C.A.D.) programs to do much of our drawing for us. However, in the same way that we need to know what ϩ , Ϫ , ϫ and ÷ mean when we press that symbol on a calculator, and we need to be able to write a text before we can ask a word processor to check it, in the same way we need knowledge and understanding of geometric and engineering drawing before we can use computers to help us with design. These understandings can come through studying and using this book. This third edition starts with and introduces the tools needed for technical draw- ing, with some basic exercises that will help you to practise these skills. Part 1 is almost unchanged from earlier editions. It shows specific drawing solutions to many geometric problems. Part 2, engineering drawing, has been updated to the lat- est recommendations in BS 308, the British Standards Institution publication about engineering drawing practice. There is a new Appendix C, which shows the recom- mendations given in BS 308 for the simplified representation of threaded fasteners. Finally there is a chapter that lists the types of questions that need to be asked when creating a design. It then lists the questions that can be answered in this book and guides you to the appropriate chapter. However carefully one checks a manuscript, errors creep through. I shall be very grateful if any readers who find errors let me know through the publishers. K .

K . Morling This page intentionally left blank Introduction Basic Tools A draftsperson needs some basic tools to draw. These should include the following: ● A range of pencils ● Ruler ● Set squares ● Rubber ● Compasses ● Dividers ● Drawing board ● T-square ● Clips or tape ● Emery board or fine sandpaper Pencils : You will need a selection of pencils. A hard leaded pencil (6H) can be used for light lines, a softer pencil (2H) for the outlines and an even softer pencil (HB) for printing. (More than one pencil of each grade will save you from frequent re-sharpening.) Ruler : It is advisable to have a transparent ruler. Set squares : You will need at least two set squares: a 60 ° and a 45 ° set square. It will be also useful to have an adjustable set square, which will enable you to set the angle on the set square to anywhere between 0 ° and 90 ° . If you have an adjustable set square you can manage without the other two. Rubber : Choose a good quality rubber, one that does not smudge. Compasses : You will need at least two compasses: a small spring bow compass for small circles and one for larger circles. Dividers : A pair of dividers is essential.

While earlier editions were primarily concerned with university cartography ‘ourses and with the production of the- matic maps to illustrate theses, articles and books, this new edition takes into account the increasing number of professional cartographer-geographers employed in Government departments, planning de- partments and in the offices of architects pnd civil engineers. The authors seek to ive students some idea of the novel and xciting developments in tools, materials, echniques and methods. The growth, mounting to an explosion, in data of all inds emphasises the increasing need for discerning use of statistical techniques, nevitably, the dependence on the com- uter for ordering and sifting data must row, as must the degree of sophistication n the techniques employed.

  • Surveying Is the Art of Determining the Relative Position
    CE6304-SURVEYING-I UNIT-I INTRODUCTION AND CHAIN SURVEYING DEFINITION: Surveying is the art of determining the relative positions of points on, above or beneath the surface of the earth by means of direct or indirect measurements of distance, direction & elevation. Plane Survey: Surveying which the mean surface of earth regarded as plain surface and not curve it really is known as plain surveying. A following Assumption are made: (i) A level line is considered a strait line thus the plump line at a point is parallel plump line at any after point. (ii) The angles between two such lines that intersect is a plain angle and not a sphere angle. (iii) The meridian through any two points parallel. (iv) When we deal with only a small portion earths surface the above assumptions can justify. (v) The error induced for a length of an 18.5 kms it‘s only 0.0152 ms grater than sub dented chord 1.52 cm. Geodetic survey : Survey is which the shape (curvature) of the earth surface is taken in the account a higher degree of precision is exercised in linear and angular measurement is tanned as Geodetic Survey. A line connecting two points is regarded as an arc. Such surveys extend over large areas PRINCIPLES OF SURVEYING Location of a point by measurement from 2 points of reference Working from whole to part. Location of a point by measurement from 2 points of reference There should be 2 points of reference say P & Q P,Q are the ground reference points and permanent points.

    Engineering Drawing Questions and Answers – Drawing Tools and their Uses – 1 1. How many battens will be there for a Drawing board? a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) 4 Answer: b Explanation: Generally drawing board has dimensions of 1000 x 1500, 700 x 1000, 500 x 700, 350 mm x 500 mm, and made of well-seasoned soft wood, so there would be no bending while life increases. And also if size of drawing board increases widely then the board will be fabricated with another 1 or 2 batten. 2. The part that doesn’t belong to T-square is __________ a) Working edge b) Blade c) Stock d) Ebony Answer: d Explanation: Working edge and Stock are parts of T- square those which make 90 degrees with each other, the blade is the long bar that exists in T-Square. Ebony is part of Drawing board in which T-square is fitted to draw lines. 3. The angle which we can’t make using a single Set-square is ________ a) 45o b) 60o c) 30o d) 75o Answer: d Explanation: 45o can be drawn using 45o Set-square, and 30o, 60o can be drawn using 30o – 60o Set-square, but to draw 75o degrees we need both Set-squares. That is only if we keep 30o of set-square adjacent with 45o set-square we can get 75o. And also multiple angles can be achieved using protractor. 4. The angle which we can’t make using both the Set-squares is _____________ a) 15o b) 105o c) 165o d) 125o Answer: d Explanation: 15o can be made by keeping 45o and 30o adjacent to each other on the line perpendicular to the line for which 15ois made.

  • Introduction
    1 Introduction 1.1. DEFINITION Surveying is the art of determining the relative positions of distinc- tive features on the surface of the earth or beneath the surface of the earth, by means of measurements of distances, directions and eleva- tions. The branch of surveying which deals with the measurements of relative heights of different points on the surface of the earth, is known as levelling. 1.2. OBJECT OF SURVEYING The objet of surveying is the preparation of plans and maps of the areas. The science of surveying has been developing since the very initial stage of human civilization according to the requirements. The art of surveying and preparation of maps has been practised from the ancient times. As soon as the man developed the sense of land property, he evolved methods for demarcating its boundaries. Hence, the earliest surveys were performed only for the purpose of recording the boundaries of plots of land. Due to advancement in technology, the science of surveying has also attained its due importance. The practical impor- tance of surveying cannot be over-estimated. In the absence of accurate maps, it is impossible to lay out the alignments of roads, railways, canals, tunnels, transmission power lines, and microwave or television relaying towers. Detailed maps of the sites of engineering projects are necessary for the precision establishment of sophisticated instruments. Surveying is the first step for the execution of any project. As the success of any engineering project is based upon the accurate and complete survey work, an engineer must, therefore, be thoroughly familiar with the principles and different methods of surveying and mapping.
