Expert Solution & Answer

To determine
The list of ten uses for surveying in areas other than land surveying.
Explanation of Solution
The uses of surveying in areas other than land surveying are as follows
- Topographic surveys: A topographic survey is used to create maps of any location or areas by determining the elevations of all the natural as well as artificial features.
- Cadastral surveys: A cadastral survey is used to establish the property lines.
- Hydrographic surveys: The hydrographic surveying is also known as underwater surveying used to determine the depth of the water bodies, for determining and updating the nautical data which is used in navigating the oceans, and investigation of the marine environment.
- Astronomical surveys: Astronomical surveying is used to create an image of maps of celestial bodies and for determining the position of stars and planets.
- Aerial surveys: Aerial surveying is used to create the maps or images of any location by using the high-quality cameras fixed at the bottom of airplanes, helicopters or any other aerial bodies.
- Mine surveys: Mine surveying is done to determine the natural resources such as minerals and energy resources below the ground at greater depths.
- Satellite surveys: Satellite surveying is used to determine the position and altitude of any point with the help of satellites revolving around the Earth. For example, the GPS (Global Positioning System).
- Alignment surveys: Alignment surveying is used to create the maps and plans of linear projects. For example, railway, highways, sewer and pipelines and tunneling.
- Remote sensing: Remote sensing is the technique of determining the information of any geographical area by sensing the reflected relations using high-power sensing devices.
- Geographical information systems (GIS): The GIS is a computer system designed to collect, store, manipulate, and analyze the geographic data. This is done to create GIS-based maps. For example, google maps.
Conclusion:
There are many uses of surveying which are listed above.

A simple supported one-way slab spans 24 ft. In addition to its own weight, it supports
an uniformly distributed service live load of 100 psf. A masonry wall, which has a
service dead load of 1500 lb/ft, is also supported by the slab along with an uniform
service floor live load (a line load) of 500 lb/ft loaded as shown below in the figure.
(a)
(b)
Select the depth of the slab using ACI Code's minimum thickness requirements
where deflections are not computed. Design the primary steel and temperature
steel and show your results in a sketch. The concrete is light-weight concrete and
has a unit weight of 110 lb/ft³. Assume 3/4 inch cover on the reinforcement aand
that f' 3 ksi and f₁ = 60 ksi. Use #6 bars for the primary steel and #4 bars
for the shrinkage and temperature steel. Assume interior exposure, and use
ACI 318-19.
Repeat part (a) NOT using the ACI Code's minimum thickness requirements for
cases where deflections are not computed. Use #6 bars for the primary steel
and #4 bars…
