5.1.6. Applications of Total Station

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the primary purpose of topographic surveying?

   Hint

   Think of why surveys are done for land development.

2. 2.

   Which structures are most commonly monitored for deformation?

   Hint

   Consider where safety is crucial.

3. 3.

   What is one application of Total Stations?

   • Planting trees
   • Topographic surveying
   • Cooking

   Hint

   Think about where precision measurement is needed.

4. 4.

   True or False: Total Stations are not useful in construction.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider their functions in various applications.

5. 5.

   A construction project requires a precision layout using a Total Station. Describe the steps a surveyor should take to ensure accuracy in the layout.

   Hint

   Think about the setup process and what needs to be checked before measurements.

6. 6.

   In deformational monitoring of a bridge, significant movement was detected. Discuss possible factors that could cause this and recommend steps for investigation.

   Hint

   Consider what external and internal forces might affect a structure's stability.
