14 courses with the subject CIV, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
Theory and practice of plane surveying including taping, differential and profile leveling, cross sections, earthwork computations, transit, stadia and transit-tape surveys. {
Triangulation of ordinary precision: use of plane table: calculation of areas of land: land surveying: topographic surveys and mapping.
Route surveys by ground and aerial methods: simple. compound, reverse, parabolic and spiral curves: geometric design of highways: highway surveys and plants. including mass diagrams.
The study of the North Carolina state statutes regarding the practice of sur- veying, laws pertaining to reparian rights, adverse possession and preparation of abstracts. fe
Study and testing of the properties of ferrous and nonferrous metals, timber, stone, clay products, bituminous cementing materials; load and _ strain measurements; behavior of materials under load; qualities other than strength; control of the properties of the materials; nondestructive tests.
Study of soil types and their physical properties; mechanical analysis and tests of soils; techniques of subsurface investigation; earth pressure theories; bearing capacity; stability of slopes; hydrostatics of ground water; methods of compaction and consolidation.
The practice of methods of making topographic surveys with conventional in-
Advanced study in the laying out of railroads, highways, and canals with a concentration in grade and slope staking, spiral curves, superrelevation. Ap- plied field problems will be laid out.
Theories and practices of land surveying, sub-division, filing and recording deeds, tying surveys to the N. C. Co-ordinate System, triangulation and atronomic observations. Field demonstrations and surveys performed with many modern types of survey instruments.
Mapping principles and their applications in producing topographic, land, hydrographic, and photographic maps and their use in sub-division planning. Field trips will be made to various sub-division sites and to city and county planning offices.
Excavating methods and equipment used in building and highway con- struction; pile driving; construction techniques and equipment used in rein- forced concrete buildings, bridges, lift-slabs, thin shells and folded plates, erection methods and equipment of structural steel buildings and bridges; car- pentry in house and heavy timber construction; construction safety. Field in- spection trips.
Basic principles and methods most significant in contract relationships; ap- preciation of the legal considerations in construction work; study of the National Building Code and local building codes, interpreting and outlining specification.
Construction practices for various types of road building, including soil proper- ties, grading, subgrading, base courses, drainage, embankments, compaction, and formwork. Design, construction, and testing of rigid Portland-cement con- crete and flexible bituminous pavements. Field inspection trips. 76
The application of basic hydraulics principles to engineering problems in the collection, distribution and disposal of water and wastes. Laboratory work will involve solving realistic problems.
