1 A quantity surveyor standing 50 away from the edge a river, wishes to estimate the quantity of materials for the reinforced concrete column of water tank. The tank is located right at the edge of the riverbank on the opposite side. The surveyor then moves by 30 m to the edge of the 20 meters wide river and observed that the angle of elevation of the top of column is twice as much as the angle of elevation when he is at its initial location. Assume that the banks of the river on both sides are of the same elevation. a. Determine the height of the column above the ground. b. The diameter of the column is 0.60 m and its embedment length from the natural ground line to the top of the footing is 2 meters. If the water tank has four columns, determine the required quantity of cement, sand and gravel using class A mixture
