Methods used for the calculation of areas in Surveying

Methods used for the calculation of areas in Surveying:


  1. Simpson’s rule
  2. Trapezoidal rule
  3. Graphical rule

Simpson’s Rule

Statement
It states that, sum of first and last ordinates has to be done. Add twice the sum of remaining odd ordinates and four times the sum of remaining even ordinates. Multiply to this total sum by 1/3rd of the common distance between the ordinates which gives the required area.
Where O1, O2, O3, …. On are the lengths of the ordinates
x = common distance
n = number of divisions

Note:

This rule is applicable only if ordinates are odd, i.e. even number of divisions.
If the number of ordinates are even, the area of last division maybe calculated separated and added to the result obtained by applying Simpson’s rule to two remaining ordinates.
Even if first or last ordinate happens to be zero, they are not to be omitted from Simpson’s rule.
The following offsets are taken from a chain line to an irregular boundary towards right side of the chain line.
0ffset y1 y2 y3 y4 y5 y6 y7
magnitude 7 13 16 17 21 26 14
Common distance, x = 90m
Area = x/3[(O1+O7) + 2 (O3+O5)+4(O2+O4+O6)]
= 90/3[(7+14)+2(16+21)+4(13+17+26)]
Area = 9,570sqm

File attributes and NTFS permissions

Chapter 5 - File attributes and NTFS permissions   We’ve already mentioned both file attributes and NTFS permissions throughout this book. In this chapter we’ll take a closer look at file attributes, and discuss how to view and change attributes from the command line. We’ll also examine NTFS permissions, which are considerably more powerful than file attributes, and discuss how to view and alter them as well.   WHAT ARE FILE ATTRIBUTES?   “File attributes” are basically pieces of metadata that contain additional information about the file. In Windows, files generally have their names, their types (defined by the file’s extension), and their timestamps. (Certain kinds of files, such as MP3 music files, have additional kinds of metadata, such as the album and artist name.) With file attributes, however, there are four additional pieces of information that you can add to a file.  These four pieces of information are: -Archive,...

About creating partition

About creating partition To create partition is actually to partition hard drive. Only after you creating partition(s) on a disk, can you make use of the disk to save all kinds of data. All physical parameter of a disk are set when you create partition(s) on it, including MBR (Main Boot Record) and the destination for storing boot record backup. For other information later needed for the management of file system and other operating systems, it will be achieved by later advanced format. What are the advantages of creating partitions? Generally speaking, creating more than one partition enables you to have operating system separate from data, deploy multi-boot setups, and keep frequently used programs and data near each other. Therefore, you can manage your computer with ease. If there is only one partition (namely C drive) on disk: When recovering the system, the whole c disk (the system disk) will be formatted. If all data are saved in c disk, they will all be wiped a...
