Describe the proper procedure for transporting a total station instrument in the field.
The proper procedure for transporting a total station instrument in the field.
Explanation of Solution
For surveying a given plot the instrument is moved from one station to other station for collection of required data and for accuracy. For any instrument care should be taken while handling it.
Proper handling and care should be taken while moving the instrument as mishandling may cause damage to the instrument and may cause inaccuracy of calculation.
The following steps are to be followed for transporting a total station instrument in the field:
- For moving from one station to other first mark a temporary mark which is used for centering.
- Even for a very small distance a total station should be carried in a locked hard case.
- Do not remove the total station from the hard case till the tripod is fixed firmly on the ground.
- A total station should not be carried on the tripod except for centering.
- A total station should be handled with both hands.
- Total station handle should not be removed till the tripod’s fixing screw is fixed.
- Care should be taken that the tripod is fixed as firmly as possible.
- Always make sure the parts of the total station such as top of the tripod, bottom and top of tribarch and bottom of total station is clean and away from shock.
- Care should be taken while removing a tribarch from the total station.

- 止 Q.1 Using the lightest W section shape to design the compression member AB shown in Fig. below, the concentrated service dead load and live load is PD-40kips and PL 150kips respectively. The beams and columns are oriented about the major axis and the columns are braced at each story level for out-of-plan buckling. Assume that the same section is used for columns. Use Fy-50 ksi. 32456 Aarrow_forward02. Design a W shape beam is used to support the loads for plastered floor, shown in Figure. Lateral bracing is supplied only at the ends.
