    From somebody's notes. May be the problem, was noted down wrong. Anyway, I appreciate your help in clarifying the solutions to me. Thanks

    Elevation Stake

    Thanks ptatohed, Yes you are right, the slope is steeper than the pipe slope. I was trying to make a judgement call. If the problem mentioned to maintain a 3' ground cover, then that has to be considered and I believe the best choice in that regard would be the elevation to maintain that...

    Elevation Stake

    So, the ground slope does not matter at all. The stake set at sta 3+20, should indicate the elevation in reference to Original Ground Elev 160' at the start point.

Reza Malhatti, (Instructor, http://www.surveyingreview.com/)for suggested taking a weighted average, that would be...

    Slope Calcs

    No, there are no answers in the book, that was just an example of notes from an Old Surveying Text. But, what do you do when you have both as your choices, 10.2 and 10.46. The key word here is "average".

    Slope Calcs

    I have come across a problem in my survey book, if anybody has any suggestions that would be big help. Cross Section Notes: LT 8.6/24.9, 8.4/21, 6.2/0(CL), 5.8/10.5, 4.2/18.3 RT What is the average slope across this Cross-Section. I come up with two ways? Which one seems appropriate or...
