Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Total station is used to perform horizontal and vertical measurements in reference to a grid system. For successful completion of the survey, it is important to take proper care of the equipment as the surveying equipment is used under a most stressful situation. The equipment is exposed to harsh weather conditions also at construction sites which attract a lot of dust. For better results, the equipment should be kept as clean and dry as possible, especially if they are to be transported or stored for longtime.

During the transportation of the equipment, damage occurs when they are placed into or taken out of the vehicle.

When performing the survey, proper care should be taken while the total station is ejected from the tripod. The total station should never be transported on the tripod as this causes stress to a tripod, instrument base, and tribrach. The proper procedure for carrying equipment in the field is to take out the total station from the tripod and keep it inside the case. If precautions are ignored, then the entire result of the survey will be affected.

The base of the total station is protected by the three tribrach screws and thread for the tribrach to be attached to the tripod.

A simply supported beam is subjected to the end couples (bending is about the strong axis) and the axial load shown in the figure below. These moments and axial load are from service loads and consist of equal parts dead load and live load. Lateral support is provided only at the ends. Neglect the weight of the beam and investigate this member as a beam-column. Use Fy that P40 k and M = 68 ft-k. For W10 × 33: I = 171 in.4; 10 ft and C₁ = 1.0: Mn = 134 ft-kips and Mn/₁ = 89.3 ft-kips; = 50 ksi. Suppose for Lb for Lc - = 10 ft: Pn 330 kips and Pr/c = 220 kips.
