3.1 INTRODUCTION
Purpose of this test is also to determine the condition of the total station. Its
applied as the same concept in two peg test procedure. At the end of the test, we
will compute the different value between two readings to know the value. The value
limitation is in between ± 0.010mm. if the value is more than the limitation then,
we should not used the total station or else it will produce an accurate result of field
work.

4.1 INTRODUCTION
Deformation survey work is to determine the alteration in the shape or dimensions
of an object as a result of the application of stress to it. Deformation is primarily
related to the field of applied surveying, and also related to the civil engineering,
mechanical engineering, plant construction, soil and rock stability mechanics.
Instruments used in deformation monitoring based on application, chosen method
and regularity. The concepts are:
• Involved the multi-epoch observation.
• The network of survey that involved from the control point and target point.
• The observation by triangulation either 2D or 3D.
• The adjustment computations and network analyses are required.
• Involved the determination of the coordinates changing (shift) and
comparison with the magnitude of the error of observation (ellipse error).
Deformation monitoring can be required for the following applications:
• Roads and Tunnels
• Dams, Bridges and Viaducts
• Settlement areas, High-rise and historical buildings
• Foundations and Construction sites
• Mining

1. The 3D network consists of 14 stations. And 3 stations are held fixed (Station 2,
1, 11) with known coordinates and elevation using code “!” in the Input Data.
So the number of free stations is 11 stations.
2. So for each of these 11 stations we need to compute the (N, E, Z) components;
Number of Unknowns per station is =3
Number of Unknowns for 11 stations is 11 x 3 = 33 Unknowns (N, E,
Z)
3. This network is considered “over-determined” because the observations
exceed the unknowns.
4. The redundant observation or also known as degree of freedom is defined
from:
Number of Observations – Number of Unknowns = 37 – 33
Number of Redundant Observation =4
Page 24 of 60
SUG 596 - FIELD SCHEME II (ENGINEERING SURVEY) 2010
5. The network cannot be solved if the redundant observations are less than zero
and generally, the more redundant observations the better.

4.8 CONCLUSION
Deformation monitoring is one of survey work which the purpose is to determine the
condition of a building structure or dam or tunnel and etc whether there is any
movement occur since the structure is build. The detection of the movement is
based on the bearing reading taken on each point on the building on the different
time. As a result, if t here is any movement occurred then, the bearing reading
observed archived will de differ from time to time and the interval time depends on
the expected movement. If not, the bearing reading will be the same. Control point
is a must as a reference of the structure position. Movement can occurred due to
any movement in the earth, quality of composition of the structure, natural sources
and etc. Hence, if we managed to detect any movement occurred we can take any
precaution to prevent any negative things happen.
Any deformation survey must pay particular attention to errors in the survey
so that gross or systematic errors do not contaminate the detection of movements
and produce false results. Graphical representations of deformation analyses are
often shown as ellipses with vectors of movement. 3D and multi-epoch
Page 30 of 60
SUG 596 - FIELD SCHEME II (ENGINEERING SURVEY) 2010
representations area are possible with CAD system. As the building newly build,
hence there are no movement occur towards the building. In order to form a 3D
visualization of the building, we need to combine each of group results where each
group observed on different point around the building. We also need to observed z
value in order to get the 3D design of building.
In full fill our task, we were asking to form a product in 3D. Hence the reading
of height and slope distance is needed. The true position of control point can be
obtains from GPS system. For true position of mark point on the building can be
archived trough transfer method. To determine and confirmation of our work
Page 31 of 60
SUG 596 - FIELD SCHEME II (ENGINEERING SURVEY) 2010
product at the end of work, each group will combine the result and it will form the
dimension of the building in 3D form.
Plus, we also undergo least square equation towards our result in order
remove all the error in our reading. Once the error had been eliminated then it will
produce an accurate result. We used star net software to process all the data were
we need to key in all the data capture in notepad format first.
Page 32 of 60
SUG 596 - FIELD SCHEME II (ENGINEERING SURVEY) 2010
Our task is to detect any relative of absolute movement for the retaining wall.
We must compare our result from other group that have been used the same
control point by comparing the coordinates for all point at the wall of the building
but the wall of building that has been choose by our group was not same as all the
other groups. So, we cannot compare the coordinates of point at the wall with the
other groups. To find the coordinates at the retaining wall, it is possible to calculate
manually because it take a lots of calculation and quite difficult to solve it. So we
have used StarNet programming to find the coordinates points of the retaining wall.
By using the programmed, we could know all the coordinates and also be able to
know the standard deviation and residual for the retaining wall.
While monitoring the building, the slope distance must be read for design
three dimensional building. Before the measurements be made, we must make sure
that the sticker that used as a observed point on the building can reflect the signal
from the theodelite for slope distance measurement. This is because we found that
some of the sticker cannot reflect the signal from the theodelite. Furthermore, the
signal from theodelite also cannot be reflected if the station is far from the building.
Because of that, we decide to choose the station nearest to the building as long as
it can measure the slope distance.

building. The shape of control point should be in good triangle. It means the inner
angle is between 60 degree and 120 degree.
Before we done the traversing, the datum for network control was taken from
GPS observation on station 11 and 2. After done traversing around the building, we
get the linear misclose of 1:9000 using bowditch method. But there are some
different when the misclose is calculate using starnet software which applying Least
Square Adjustment (LSA). The linear misclose when using starnet software is 1:400
000. This situation happen when starnet use LSA to calculate error for each station
from redundant observation. Meanwhile the bowditch method generally distributed
error equally for each station.
For the observation, we have observed 4 points from 3 control points which
are. We also determined the Z value for each station using GPS observation to get
reduce level for each control station. The purpose of the leveling survey is to design
3-dimension deformation in StarNet. It needs the Z value to design the 3-D
dimension.
For my comment, the location of target should be well spread around of the
building and not focus at one certain part only. Moreover, the target point should be
at stable place and should have clear line of sight. In my opinion, the observation
should avoid during afternoon because during afternoon, the refraction and sun
heat make the observation contain error. Moreover, the targets become blurry when
afternoon. In addition, the instrument should be done calibration first before it use
for observation. To obtain good observation, the control point should have good
geometry. By using StarNet software its can detect all of error in observation, this
software is good to make the analysis for the surveying work. From this software we
can define how well the field work, because its use more statistical calculation for
analysis. I suggest, all of student for survey studies need more knowledge about
StarNet software and must be expert to handle StarNet software. Because it’s good
for analysis survey data and define error.

Deformation task required us to conduct the deformation survey at the
Student’s facilities building, nearby the crystal college, UiTM Penang. We are given
2 days to finish the task. The works involved in this survey work are reconnaissance,
traversing, GPS coordinate conversion and transferring, deformation and processing
the collection of data. The processing of data is used using StarNet software.
Page 34 of 60
SUG 596 - FIELD SCHEME II (ENGINEERING SURVEY) 2010
The control points located on the building are pre determined, as a group
required observing minimum 4 target points on the building, from 3 ground control
points. As the work requires us to observe the same points on the building, the
target points located on the building must be visible from all the ground control
points. The best locations for the ground control points are identified and the
processes of observing the building are then started, starting from the traversing
work.
The 1st task is to establish the ground control points. This is obtained by
traversing around the student facilities building. Then the coordinate of the control
points or stations are determined by transferring the coordinate from the GPS
observation made from 2 stations, located on the traverse network itself. The GPS
observation also gives the corrected bearing for the traverse, as the rotations of the
traverse are done. The data processing of the traverse are made in StarNet, using
3D parameter, to obtain the least square correction for the traverse. As the job
require all 10 groups to be located on the same building with minimum 3 stations
per group, the distances between the stations are quite small, thus affecting the
accuracy of the traverse work.
Page 35 of 60
SUG 596 - FIELD SCHEME II (ENGINEERING SURVEY) 2010
Then the deformation work was carried out, by observing 4 sets of different
starting bearing for all 3 points on the building. During the deformation survey
process, we were required to obtained the slope distance from the ground control
points to the building CP. The method used was by using reflective stickers on the
building, to rebounce back the wave signal send from the Total Station. There were
issues of reflective capability of the sticker, but the problem is then solved by
selecting the right material.
Finally, I would to conclude that the work done was very successful, although
there were some problems arise at the site, such as the problem with the sticker
wave rebounces capability. Other than that, the process of data processing using
the StarNet software were very time consuming, as we are not so familiar with
using the software.

I would like to say thank you to Allah s.w.t for giving His opportunity for
completing this deformation project. Also thanks to my lecturer, Dr Rosmadi Bin
Ghazali, and all my friends for the guidance and cooperation. The objective of this
practical is to train students how to detect the movement object from observation
with total station.
The datum for network control was taken from GPS observation on station 11
and 2 and we make the traverse around the building that we want monitoring. After
that, we have observed 4 target points from 3 control points which are. Then, we
also determined the Z value for each station using GPS observation to get reduce
level for each control station. It is to design 3-dimension deformation in StarNet. It
needs the Z value to design the 3-D dimension.
The error also came from the observation by the different obsever, the
different observer will gain the different observation value. The instrument for the
observation also brings important result, smaller error will comes out with the
accurate value for these accurately survey. If we can see the zenith error from the
result of the analysis above, the value was too high and absolutely not in the
acceptance range of the chi square. My comment it was we used the standard
Page 37 of 60
SUG 596 - FIELD SCHEME II (ENGINEERING SURVEY) 2010
leveling, in my opinion we should come out with the precise leveling to get more
accurately result .The points on the wall also play an important result for this
accuracy survey. The unclear and invisibility crosshair of centering on the points will
produce an error during the observation.
Assalamualaikum. All praise to be ALLAH. Thanks to Dr Rosmadi Bin Ghazali for his
guidance in this fieldwork.
Deformation surveys are very precise survey performed to detect and
measure movement of a variety of physical objects or land parcels. Beside that
deformation surveys can detect relative or absolute movements for monitoring of
pump base or pipe connections, storage tanks, retaining walls, slope areas or
general ground subsidence but in this practical we just to monitoring the retaining
walls. The procedures of deformation survey job are not as difficult and complicated
as the other types of survey.
In this practical task we are needed to monitor and detect any movement of
the building of dining hall at Kolej Kristal, UiTM Pulau Pinang. There are 3 control
points on the ground at station 8, 9, 10 and 4 observe points.
At the first day, we had done reconnaissance of the area to identify the
suitable location for control points. There are 10 groups those co-operated to
conduct traverse around the building of dining hall. The traverse used to determine
the coordinate of ground control. The 3 control points were used in the monitoring.
The next day, we conduct the monitoring from the control point station to observe
the 4 target points on the wall of building of dining hall. We spend two day to
complete this job.
During do the practical, i noticed that weather condition also affect our sight
viewing to target that give the refraction because the hot weather. Rain also
delayed our fieldwork. Human error exists in our data reading because difference
observers have difference parallax. The observation also difficult to done because
the sticker at the wall unable to reflect. However, after the little adjustment that
had been done to the sticker, the observation able to read by using total station
finally.
Page 38 of 60
SUG 596 - FIELD SCHEME II (ENGINEERING SURVEY) 2010
For the processing data, Starnet software was used. The observation data is
entering to calculate standard error, error factor, error propagation and residual.
Starnet give a plot and listing the coordinate at 4 targets and our observation data
is acceptable.
At the end I hope this practical helpful to me as a guideline in the real job. I
conclude that this task enable to identify the changing in construction monument. I
hope our lecturer satisfy with this practical. InsyaALLAH.

5.6 CONCLUSION
It can be said that route survey is a work that consist of several important
procedure to make sure it will form a high accuracy result in the end of the work. It
accomplishes the need of engineering field work according to the need of customer.
In other word, routes survey is defined as being the required service and product
that adequately locates the planned path of a linear project or right of way which
crosses a prescribed area of real estate, extending from at least one known point
and turning or terminating at another known point. Adequate location shall mean

Based on our field work, i found that in finishing the route survey work,
planning is the major factor to complete and produce a good quality work. Without
planning wisely we might not produce a good work. The planning work must be
Page 52 of 60
SUG 596 - FIELD SCHEME II (ENGINEERING SURVEY) 2010
based on the details, area parameter, ground level and all off sets on the area work.
In this work also involve the use of CDS software which is use as processing data
and AutoCAD which is use to design.
During setting out procedure, must be based on a right bearing and distance
compute from the planning drawing that had been made. After open the bearing
based on calculation made, then the pegging must be done wisely and accurately.
The checking step based on the coordinate reading where the same point must the
same coordinate value.
At the end of our work, now I realise and able to visualize on how the real
world is in full fill the route survey work. All the possibility that I might face during
route survey and how to solve also I have learn. Including all the possibility of the
condition of the ground, complication of detailing, appearance of station invisibility,
any natural problem and etc
I would like to say thank you to Allah s.w.t for giving His opportunity for
completing this task. Also thanks to my lecturer, Dr Rosmadi Bin Ghazali and all my
friends for the guidance and cooperation.

The objective of this practical is to train surveying students how to plan and
reconnaissance for route surveying, how to establish control points on ground, how
to conduct route alignment and how to conduct a cross section and longitudinal
surveys. details on the site were observed to identify the topography and layout of
the site. Besides, the observe details on the area are made to carry out detail
survey for the purpose of designing and planning for the road design and to produce
a detail drawing of the site.
When the field work were completed, we used CDS and AutoCAD to process
all data that taken, and produce cross section and detail plan. It was a good
experience for me to learn and practice this software and doing this practical so I
think this practical have gave me clearly overview of route surveying work.
Page 54 of 60
SUG 596 - FIELD SCHEME II (ENGINEERING SURVEY) 2010
I wish to thank Dr Rosmadi bin Ghazali for providing me with the opportunity
to work alongside him, for all his patience and guidance in the way of conducting
the field work.
The field work for road design survey was conducted at the Taman Tunku,
Seberang Jaya, Penang. The objective for this practical are to establish control
points (horizontal and vertical) around or in the area and chainages (CH) using
pegs. Moreover, the details on the site were observed to identify the topography
and layout of the site. Besides, the observe details on the area are made to carry
out detail survey for the purpose of designing and planning for the road design and
to produce a detail drawing of the site.
All measurements in this practical are based on a network of horizontal and
vertical control points. These networks are used on site in the preparation of maps
and plans. Firstly, traversing is required to established the control network frame
on the site, and to obtained a roughly estimation of the site area. The coordinate of
the station on the traverse are obtained from GPS observation on two stations
located on the traverse network itself. Then, the coordinate are transferred to the
chainage using calculated value from the road design curve.
After all the detail survey and traversing work are done, all data we
downloaded from the total station using the T-Com software. Data processing are
done by using the CDS software, all data downloaded in CDS software where
graphic image from observation can be produced and editing by file checking on
screen. This software can produced data or information from measured points of
station. Each of those points has their level and coordinates. All complete data then
exported to AutoCAD R14 software in DWG format and graphic editing will be
plotted to the final plan.
Then, the curve or the road design took place. The design was made based
on the details drawing that were made earlier. From the design, the calculation for
the curve was made to obtain every chainage, IP, TS and ST coordinate. The final
coordinate are used to obtained the bearing and distance by calculating the
differences in coordinate from the traverse stations. Lastly, the chainage are pegs
according to the calculated values.
Finally, I would like to conclude that the survey and design work that has
been carried out was a success, with minimum obstacle, as the planning work was
conducted accordingly.

The second process of the practical works required for detailed survey at the
given area. The detail survey works were conducted by making observation from
stations on the traverse network frames, to the features on the site. The pickup
features on the site, are trees, drainage, river, building and others permanent
features and the ground level heighting.
After all the field work done, we downloaded and processed all the data in
total station to T-COM software. All the raw data were then imported to CDS
software and then transferred to Auto CAD. In Auto CAD, detail plan are made, by
based on the points extracted from the CDS software.
The details survey plans that were drawn are used to obtained the
topographic features on the site and then are used to design the curve. The curve
design were created using autocad based on the spec given. Then, then curve are

calculated to obtained the final coordinate of every chainage and other required
features of the curve.
Finally, the curve is pegs on site, based on the coordinate calculated. The
differences of coordinate were transferred from the observed station to the
chainage.
Route survey includes the application of detailed survey, setting out and
circular curves. Details on the site were observed to identify the topography and
layout of the site. The observed details on the area are made to carry out detail
survey for the purpose of designing and planning for the road design and to produce
a detail drawing of the site. Setting out is the establishment of the marks and lines
to define the position and level of the elements for the construction work so that
works may proceed with reference to them. Setting out begins with the plan and
ends with the various elements of a particular engineering project correctly
positioned in the area. Mistakes in setting out can cause abortive work and delays
which leave personnel, machinery and plant idle, resulting in additional costs.

Finally after the field work were completed, we used CDS and AutoCAD to
process all data that taken, and produce cross section and detail plan.
At the first, traversing is done at the site area to get the horizontal control (x,
y) along route. The coordinate of the control point on the traverse are obtained from
GPS. Then, the detail at the site area are observed and recorded for the purpose of
designing the route and detail drawing. Besides that we are recorded all important
details think such as drain, tree, retaining wall, Culvert, Pipe line Ground Level.
Along traverse we are marked chainage every 5 meter intervals. The coordinate of
chainage (CH) can be obtained from the curve calculation.
Then, we used CDS software to process the data and plotting the plan using
AutoCAD. Besides, using CDS is easier to joint all details compared to AutoCAD
because we just need to key-in all the data and then process but in AutoCAD we
have to key-in the data one by one and joint the details which is much more
complicated. After all measurement, calculation and plotting are completed; we
marked the chainage(CH), TS,ST and IP according to calculated values.

Finally, this task is very challenging but we all co-operated to complete it. I
conclude that this task had been conducted successfully and all group members
gave the good commitment. I hope our lecturer satisfy with our job. Thank you.
i. Alhamdulillah for the completion of the job. Route surveying is about a survey
which conducted to design and setting out a road alignment and some would
take consider curves.
ii. And this route surveying is mainly comprised of details survey and alignment
survey, which the later details plan produced, would give an idea which
terrain is suitable to design a road.
iii. Basically the site is mainly a flat and undulating area although some part of it
is waterway, river and permanent features.
iv. The control for the survey job is based on an assumed value of x, y and
assumed reduced level of z.
v. The details are observed using a radiation method using total station and
later would be processed and generated using CDS software. And the final
output is a detail and topographical plan which was edited using AutoCAD
2007.
vi. The area covered is about 10000 meter square with an offset for the both
side 20 meters.

vii. Once finished the part of detailing and the proposed location for the road is
determined, we are required to design a road which concerned about a spiral
and circular curves.
viii.A calculation has been made according to the given specification and once
the coordinate of chainage is computed, the setting out for the chainage is
started.
ix. The setting out is being carried out from the nearby traverse station and as a
result is pegging mark on the ground according to the computed coordinate.
x. Lastly many thankful for Assoc. Prof Dr. Rosmadi Ghazali for supervising and
fellow group members for the helping hands to finish this task.
