A pre-engineering baseline was run down a very steep hill (see Rather than measure horizontally downhill with the steel tape, the surveyor measures the vertical angle with a theodolite and the slope distance with steel tape. The vertical angle is -21° 26’ turned to a point on a plumbed range pole that is 4.88 ft above the ground. The slope distance from the theodolite to the point on the range pole is 148.61 ft. The theodolite’s optical center is 4.66 ft above the upper baseline station at 110 + 71.25. If the elevation of the upper station is 318.71. what is the elevation of the lower station? What is the horizontal distance between the two stations?

QUESTION FOUR Geophysical surveying is a means of filling data on strata changes between widely spaced boreholes. On large sites geophysical methods can show economies due to the rapidity with which extensive areas can be covered. Geophysical methods are best suited to deep investigations of in rock strata, for examples dams or tunnels where the stratification of rocks at depth is required, and for investigations in soils containing many cobbles or boulders where probings or cone tests ara impracticable. Describe the following geophysical methods of investigations: (i) Electrical resistivity (ii) (iii) Magnetic (iv) Seismic refraction and reflection Gravimetric Side scan sonars (v) (vi) Borehole logging (vii) Ground radar
