- 1.
What is a peg interval?
Hint
Remember it relates to placing markers.
- 2.
What does chainage refer to?
Hint
Think about how distance is measured.
- 3.
What is the peg interval?
- Distance between two points
- The distance between two pegs
- Angle of deviation
Hint
Think about how pegs are used in surveys.
- 4.
A radius of 150 m with a deflection angle of 30 degrees yields what tangent length?
- 65.00 m
- 40.00 m
- 60.00 m
Hint
Make sure to apply the formula correctly.
- 5.
You are tasked with setting up a curve with a total length of 1000 m, a radius of 200 m, and a deflection angle of 45 degrees. Calculate the total number of pegs required and their respective chainages.
Hint
Use both the radius and deflection angle to find necessary lengths.
- 6.
Design a survey that involves calculating peg intervals when given a complex curve with varying radii at distinct chainages. Demonstrate all calculations.
Hint
Utilize formulas for each section of the survey to create an effective plan.
