II IRRIGATION PROJECT (NEW TANK PROJECT)

a. Definitions of important terms
Crop period or base period
The time between the first watering of a crop at the time of its sowing to its last watering
before harvesting is called base period of crop. It is denoted by B (in days)
Delta: Is the total depth of water required by a crop to come to maturity is called delta in cm.
This depends on the type of crop.
Crop type depth of water (cm)
Sugarcane 120
Rice 120
Wheat 30
Duty of water: It is the relationship between the volume of water required and the area of
crop it matures hectares
Cu.mec.
= 864B
D
=depth in cm. B=is in days
D= duty in Hectares/cu.mec.
Crop type Duty hectares/cu.mec.
Sugarcane 730
Rice 775
Gross Command Area:(GCA)
It is the total area that can be economically irrigated without considering the quantity of
available water. It includes both cultivable and non-cultivable area.
Cultivable Command Area
The total area in which cultivation is possible. It is the differences between GCA and
uncultivable land.
CCA= GCA-UCA
Contour channel:
Suitable for hill areas as watershed channel are unsuitable. In hills the river flows in a valley
or the ridge line may be very much higher. The channel is aligned parallel to the area to be
irrigated. The contour channel irrigates only on one side

Head sluice contour channel

water spread

natural valley

earthen embankment

Area coming under irrigation

Watershed or ridge channel:

Suitable for plain areas. It is aligned along the natural watershed. In such a case water flows
by gravity on either side of the channel directly or through small irrigation channels.
Dead storage: it is volume of space provided for deposition of sediments in a reservoir. It is
the level below which water is not depleted. It is not of much use in the operation of
reservoirs.
Live storage: the volume of the water stored between the dead storage and full tank level is
called live storage. Live storage assures the supply of water for specified period to meet the
demand.
Maximum water level: during floods, the water level will rise above the full tank level. The
maximum level to which the water rises during the high floods is called Maximum water
level.
Full tank level : it is the maximum elevation to which the reservoir water surface rises during
normal operating conditions.
Still level of sluice: is provided at the minimum storage level or dead storage level.
Tip of the bund level: is fixed considerations the aspects of free board to prevent
overtopping of the dam.
Friction blocks: These are blocks placed within the basin. Across the basin floor. They help
in breaking the flow and dissipate energy. Those baffle piers are called friction blocks and are
useful in small structures, such as low spillways and wears.
New Tank Project
Earthen dam is proposed to be constructed across the Bandi-halla. The catchment area of
the tank up to the site is measured using planimeter. Intensity of rain fall is obtained from the
record (precipitation records available either at Doddaballapura, Chikkaballapura. Using
catchment area and rainfall data, the yield of the stream is calculated. Generally rational
formula is adopted to find out the average yield of the basis. From the yield, total value of
water available is calculated. Thus, the capacity of the reservoir is fixed. Generally 1.5 tilling
is assumed for their region in a given year. Therefore, required capacity is taken as 2/3 of
original capacity. All the necessary surveys are to be conducted and project to be prepared in
a complete manner including working drawings.
Planning programmers for surveys and investigations:
During the reconnaissance surveys, it is desirable to consider plans for detailed survey and
investigations. in planning such programmers, consideration should be given to the following
items-the personnel required, housing and subsistence for personnel, location of the field

5
office if required , transportation and other facilities, materials and supplies required for the
work , characteristics of dam foundation strata , investigation necessary and equipment
required , availability of local labor and equipment , arrangements with private land owners
for to sites to avoid trespass of lands during surveys and explorations, transportations of
drilling equipment to isolated and inaccessible locating, consideration of available data from
other surveys such as railroads and highways etc climate conditions at the site for work and
estimates of time and funds required for the work. In the case of public works, the time
necessary for investigation and construction should be anticipated. The general map should
show governing elevations of watercourses, canal routes, dams and important occupational
features such as vegetation , cultivated lands ,swaps, roads other railway road. Feathers
pertinent to reservoirs and dams should be shown on separate maps of reservoir site and of
the dam site. The Surveys to be Conducted are Longitudinal and cross section across centre

3 Starting from this point P whose reduced level has been established ;levels are taken
along the centre line of the bund called longitudinal section readings at least at every 5 to
10m intervals (preferably at every point where there is variation in ground surface), and
intervals should be 1 to 2m on sleep ground
4 Cross section levels are taken at every 30m distance on either side of centre line of the

7. Ranging rods.
Obtain the reduced levels of the contours to be plotted from the camp notice board.
iii.Procedure
1. Carry fly levels from the nearest available temporary bench mark until the height of
instruments obtained is greater than the required contour to be plotted. For E.g.: suppose
the contour to be plotted is , say, 802.500 & 803.000m fly levels are carried until height
of instruments obtained at least 804.500 (i.e. , greater than the required reading).required
to obtained the necessary reduced levels is (height of instrument reduced level).
Staff reading=804.000-802.500=1.500m
Staff reading=804.000-803.000=1.000m
For the particular RL, set up of the instrument (thus fixing the position of the dumpy level).
Required staff readings are made conspicuous by tying a coloured kerchief to the reading.
2. The centre line of the bund (FQ) and that of the waste weir (RP) is located on the plane
table by the method of inter- section. The process of location of the plane table S is such
that the plane table is as close to the dumpy level as possible. Whose position is located in
step (1) thus facilitating the use of tachometry and direct contouring.
Position of plane table and dumpy level before actual plotting of contour is commenced:
3. The require staff readings calculated in step (1) indicating the necessary reduced level
is actually plotted in the field
The staff man move with the staff in the direction indicate by the person at the dumpy
level until the require staff reading (Say 1.5m) the obtained. This is the first contour
Point C1. Simultaneously, the surveyor at the plane table bisects the staff at contour
Point C1. And a ray is drawn that direction using the fuditial edge of the alidade.
The distance between the dumpy level and staff is calculated by the method of
Tachiometry, using the relation (D=KS+C) where
D=distance between staff station and dumpy level in meters
K=Multiplying constant=100
S=staff intercept (difference between top and bottom stadia hair readings)
C=Additive constant =0
The distance as obtained is converted to a scale of 1:1000 and plotted as point C1 on the
Plane table
The contour points must be located at close intervals, using similar procedure explained
above to get a clear contour.
4. Details regarding type of land (cultivated, barren, rocky) through which the contour passes
and Road and other details of topography should also be marked/plotted on drawing sheet
during the plotting work.
Note:
a) Before closing the days work the position of plane table station is properly established by
bisecting three well defined permanent objects. The next day Work is continued by
solving the three point problem
b) In order to get a good spread of times depending on the topography of instrument must be
the required now staff reading for the particular height of instrument is calculated to get
the RL needed is explained in step 1. Each time the plane table station.
Is shifted, it has to be back oriented with reference to the previous station

iv.Drawing Required:

9
Contour plan showing the detail of topography etc., with centerline of bund and waste weir to
a scale 1cm=10m
The capacity contour so plotted is useful to calculate the volume of storage of tank. This is
done by calculating the area between two contours using a Planimeter and then multiplying
the same with the contour interval.
V1= A1 h1
V1= volume between the two contour plotted
A1=Area between contour
h1= Difference in elevation between two contours
A single drawing showing all the contours is drawn after obtaining Contours from other
batches and the total volume V is calculated as
V= V1+V2+.........................................................
V1= a1 h1 V2= a2 h2 and so on
The top contour level gives the full tank level (FTL). The maximum water level (MWL) is
fixed taking into consideration Submergence. The top height of the bund is fixed above MWL
by considering the height of the waves.
The top width of the dam is fixed by taking into consideration the minimum Road width and
stability.

For e.g., R.L. of straight point = 802.500(say)
Required fall (for 30m) = 0.015m
.................................................
R.L. at 30m point = 802.485
.................................................
Subtract the R.L. of 30m point from the (PC) plane of collimation obtained in
step (5) to get staff reading (suppose back sight reading is 1.2m)
R.L. at T = 802.500
+ back sight = 1.200(say) 803.700-602.485
--------------------------------------------
PC = 803.700 = 1.215m
---------------------------

IV.HIGH WAY PROJECT
a.Objectives:
The basic object of highway project is to align the road between the two given obligatory
points by conducting
(1) Reconnaissance survey.
(2) Preliminary survey.
(3) Detailed survey.
(4) Re-alignment survey.
All the batches will be given different stations, between which is road is to be aligned.
The terrain is usually hilly at Ghati Subramanya, the road is to be aligned with a maximum
slope of 1 in 20. This gradient is to be checked at regular intervals along the alignment using
Ceylon ghat tracer. The total time allotted for this project is two days and the total length of
road to be aligned is at least 1000 m with in first day. After the alignment of broad along a
particular route and got the same on the plane table drawing sheet, check for various
geometrics of road like radius of horizontal curve and other practical problems to a particular
design speed. If there is any change in the alignment marks it on the drawing sheet by re-
aligning the road on curves. The next day, the details of topography along the new aligned
route are to be collected.
b.Instruments to be used
(1)Plane Table and its Accessories.
(2) Leveling instruments and its accessories.
(3)Ceylon ghat tracer.
(4) Chain, Tape, Arrow, Ranging rods, Pegs, etc

c. Allotment of field work.

All the batches will be given two different obligatory points through which the road is to
pass. By conducting reconnaissance survey the various alternate routes are to be selected. Out
of various alternate routes select any one best route between the two stations. Along this
selected route collect all the topographical details by conducting detailed survey using
various instruments. Alignment means marking the centre of line of the road along the route

14

between the two stations using wooden pegs. Drive the pegs at regular intervals say at 5m if
the road is aligned along the curve or 10m if the road is aligned along straight stretch.
Set the plane table near the starting point with respected to any three permanent object. The
drawing sheet to be used for the plane table work should contain the border line, name of the
batch along with the names of the students on the bottom right hand corner and a diagonal
scale. Construct a diagonal on the bottom left hand corner of the drawing sheet by selecting
any suitable scale to mark the centre line of the road usually 1:1000.mark the north line using
the trough compass on the top right hand corner of the drawing sheet. The print obtained on
the drawing sheet should be transferred on the ground by using plumbing fork. Using alidade
mark the various points of the centre line of the road on the drawing sheet. Along with
marking of centre line on the drawing sheet, collect all the details of the topography along
that route like type of land sloping direction, type of terrain, permanent objects-trees, rocks,
houses, electrical poles open wells, bore wells, tanks etc.
Sometime instead of driving the pegs on the ground along the centre line of the road, the
chain can be stretched along the centre line of the road and the points on the centre line of the
road either at 5 m or 10 m interval can be obtained on the drawing sheet using the alidade.
Continue this marking of centre line of the road on the drawing sheet form this plane table
station point, until the last point visible from this station point. Then the plane table is shifted
to a new station point. To shift the plane table, first establish a new station point from where
more number of points can be obtained. The new station point can be established and mark on
the drawing sheet for a known distance. Now the plane table is to be shifted to the new
station point and set it on the new station point coinciding with the point marked on the
drawing sheet and by back orientation and checking the north line. Mark the various point of
the centre line of the road on the drawing sheet from this plane table station point. Continue
this till the end of the stretch of the road.
Simultaneously, the topography of the ground along the centre line of the road is to be
collected by conducting leveling survey. A temporary bench mark (BM) is to be established
near the starting point of the road by carrying out the fly level from near by temporary
/permanent bench mark. The dumpy level is to be set very close to the plane table. First, take
the back sight on the temporary BM established near the starting point of the road and then
take the levels on the zero chainage on either side of the centre line of the proposed road for
about 15 m, at an interval of 5 m take the levels for cross section details. Next, take the levels
on the centre line of the proposed road, at either 5 m or 10 m intervals for longitudinal section
details. Take the levels for cross section details at 15 m interval on curves or at 30 m intervals
on straight stretch of the proposed road. Continue this till the end of the stretch of the road.
d. Re-alignment
After getting the detail plan of the centre line of the proposed road between the two stations,
check for the horizontal alignment, with respect to radius of the various curves. Assuming
that the proposed road is a MDR, for the standard values of the ruling minimum speed on
hilly terrain, calculate the required ruling minimum radius to maintain the design speed. If the
existing radius is inadequate, then re-align the curve to maintain the design speed by
proposed a new curve. Calculate all the details of the proposed curve, and then the same
curve is to be set in the field at the original curve, collect L/S and C/S details of the set curve
using leveling.Using the details of the leveling, draw the L/S and C/S, by taking suitable
scale.
e. Design details
Design the vertical alignment using the details of L/S and C/S .Limiting the maximum
gradient of 1 in 20, design the vertical summit curve and valley curves, calculate the earth
work either cutting or filling to be carried out for the design vertical curves with respect to
the formation level.

V.TRIANGULATION SURVEY
a.Introduction
The execution of any project depends upon the accuracy with which the survey is carried out.
Unlike other types of surveying, like chain surveying, compass survey etc. trigonometric
surveying is special branch of surveying which requires accuracy of the highest order. The
direct object of trigonometrically surveying is not to provide a complete plan showing details
& topographical features but, to locate a number of points on the earths surface. The

17
positions & elevations of these points are determined with utmost accuracy, so as to serve as
geodetic control points to which other surveys can be referred to.
i.Principles of Trigonometric surveying:
This can be studied under the following heads, Base line measurement with necessary
corrections. This is done according to the procedure indicated. The base line serves as a base
for the Triangulation system extending on either side of the area.A systematic measurement
of all angles subtended by all the Trigonometric stations occupied to keep the errors to an
absolute minimum.
ii.Triangulation:
Geodetic Triangulation offers the most accurate system of horizontal control points in which
less precise triangles are incorporated to from a frame work for topographical and
hydrographic survey. Suitable points called triangulation stations are selected.
Accumulations of errors in this method are minimized by selecting subsidiary bases.
iii.Feature of Triangulation:
1. Triangulation consists of a network of triangles.
2. It should have minimum linear measurements.
b.Base line and its measurements:
A baseline is a line joining two Triangulation stations whose length is measured very
accurately for the computation of the whole trigonometric survey. The following points are
kept in view while selecting a base line.
1. The site selected must be fairly level with gentle slopes at some places.
2. The site selected should be free from obstacles through out its length.
3. The extremities of the baseline must be inter visible at ground level.
4. The accessibility of the two base stations A & B must from well conditioned triangles
with other stations.
i.Measurements of Base Line:
The length of base line is measured using its flexible apparatus for accuracy & convenience
steel tape is made use of.
ii.Equipments:
1. Standardized tape
2. Straining devise
3. Spring balance
4. Thermo meter
5. Wooden pegs
6. Level with stand
7. Metallic tape
8. Sub tense bar
9. Theodolite
iii.Procedure:
1. The measurement party must walk on the entire length of baseline. Pegs are driven at
suitable points in line in between the base station A & B with the help of the theodolite. The
peg interval is so chose on such that there is not much undulations between pegs. The
marking pegs are driven at on approximate distance at 15 m or less depending on the
configuration of the ground.
2. The reduced levels of the top of the pegs are taken by the leveling party.
3. The measuring party stretches the tape giving a proper pull varying between 6 to 9 kg. The
pull given must be such that the measuring tape does not touch the ground surface anywhere
between the pegs & thus the span length is measured using the steel tape.
4. The same base line is measured in the opposite direction of the first measurement in same
manner.

18
EXTENSIVE SURVEY CAMP REPORT 2012 DEPT.OF CIVIL ENGG.

5. The temperature are measured using a thermometer at the three points (Rear end, middle
end, far end) of each span length.
6. Detailed angular measurement (horizontal & vertical) are taken from the base stations A &
B using Varner theodolite.
7. The base line distance AB is checked by means of substance bar kept at one end of base &
included angles between the targets is read from the theodolite placed at the other end by
method of repetitions.
The measured base line through accurate will have to be corrected for both positive and
negative errors which are introduce due to natural conditions.
iv. Correction to measured base length:
The following corrections are applied to each span and the correct base line length is worked
out.
v. Correction for absolute length of tape(Ca)
The 30m steel band is laid flat and the 30m standard steel tape is stretched. The tape is
standardized at no pull. From this correction for absolute length is calculated.
Ca = LC (positive and negative)
Where
I = Designated length of tape
L = Measured length of line
C = Correction per tape length
vi. Correction for pull (Cp)
CP = (P-PO) L (positive or negative)
AE
Where:
P = Applied pull in kg
Pc = standard pull in kg
L = Measured length in meters
A = Cross section of tape in cm2
Es = Youngs modulus of elasticity kg/cm2 = 2.1106 kg/ (Ct)
vii. Correction of Temperature :(Ct)
Ct = (Tm-To) L (Positive or Negative)
= Co-efficient of thermal expansion
= 0.000010/C
To = Standard temperature of band=0C
Tm = Mean temperature of measurements in centigrade
L = Measured length in meters
viii. Correction for Sag: (Cs)
Cs = w2l2/24n2P2 (Negative)
L = Total length of tape in meters
n = Number of span (equal)
w = Total weight of tape in kg
p= pull applied in kg
Note: 1. Weight of 30m steel band = 543.008gm
2. Weight of 30m length steel tape = 282.001gm
ix. Correction for Slope: (Cv)
2
Cv = -h /2L (Negative)
h = Difference in level between successive pegs in meters
L = Measured length in meters
x. Correction for MSL:

19
Cmsl = -LH/R (Negative)
L = Length of measured base in meters
h = Elevation of base line site above MSL ( data to be obtained)
R = Radius of earth
= 6366703m= 6367 Km
xi. Correction for Change of Gravity:
2
g = go (1+0.005302 sin )
g = Acceleration due to gravity at sea level
= Latitude at Doddaballapur = 1318
g = Acceleration due to gravity at the equator for sea level =978.049 cm/sec2
c. Satellite Station
While selecting station for triangulation work it occurs some times in practice that the tower
of a church or temple or a railway signal is selected as the principal station ,due to its clear
visibility from a number of other stations eliminating thereby the cost of building elevated
towers .In such cases, it becomes impossible to place the instrument over the tower, and a
false station is established near the principal station and all angular measurements are made
from this false station or satellite station. The distance from the false station to the principal
station is calculated by the method of signal plane method. Observations are made from
satellite station to all other triangulation station with the same degree of care and precision
and there observed angles are corrected and reduced to what they would have been if the
main triangulation station (principals or true station) were occupied. This method of reducing
the value of an angle at the main station, from observations made at satellite is known as
reduction of centre.
d.Measurement of Angles at station:
A systematic measurement of all the angles subtended by all trigonometric stations and other
permanent objects at the station occupied is made to keep the possible errors to an absolute
minimum.
e.Method of Measurements:
i.By repetition : ( Horizontal Angle)
Set up the instrument over o and level it accurately ( with face of instrument to the left and
telescope in the normal position)
Set the vernier A to 0000. Loosen the lower clamp and direct the telescope to left hand
station (A), and bisect A accurately using lower clamp and lower tangent screw.
Check the vernier reading on A for slip and read the vernier B.
Release the upper plate and turn the telescope clock wise and bisect the right hand station B
exactly, by using upper clamp and upper tangent screw.
Read both the vernier to get the approx. value of the angle.
Leaving the verniers unchanged , release the lower clamp and turn the telescope clock wise
until station A is again accurately bisected using lower clamp and lower tangent screw .
Check the vernier reading which should be same as before.
Release the upper clamp and turn the telescope clock wise and again bisect the station B
exactly, use the upper clamp and tangent screw .The vernier should read twice the value of
the angle. Repeat the same procedure until the angle is repeated the required number of times
(usually three).Read both the vernier and these are the final reading after n repetitions
should (n) times the reading obtained in step (v).Changing the face (the telescope is now
inverted & the face will be right).Leaving the vernier unchanged swing clock wise on to A.
After making three repetition exactly as before book is partly in light and partly in shade. The
observer sees the illuminated portion and bisects it. The phrase correction has to be applied to
the observer angle.

F = Final reading
I = Initial reading
N = The number of times the zero mark of the dial passes the fixed index mark. Use +ve sign
if zero mark of the dial passes the index mark in clockwise direction and ve sign when it
passes in anti-clockwise directions.
M = A multiplying consists (planimeter constant). It is equal to the area per revolution of
