TEXTBOOK OF SURVEYING-----------PHI

₹275.00 ₹260.00

This book has been designed to be as a fundamental textbook on surveying, covering all aspects—theory and practical (cases, examples)—for civil engineering students at both degree and diploma level. Written with a student-friendly approach, the book contains solved examples and illustrations for easy understanding of the subject.

First ten chapters are the essential concepts needed to be studied in the first semester and the next eight chapters include advanced topics on triangulation, photogrammetry, remote sensing and astronomy that are meant for higher semesters. Details of survey camp work and extensive survey projects are also dealt with in the chapters and in an Appendix separately.

Emphasis is given to the systematic and detailed presentation of topics in one volume to benefit the students in their course work.

Key features

Illustrative Figures exemplify the theories profoundly
Exhaustive Solved Examples to help students grasp the concepts easily
Analytical Exercises and Numerical Problems to judge students’ comprehension on the subject
