1. Manual Overview. Introductory information on the purpose and organization of the manual.
2. Soil Surveys. Requirements for conducting soil surveys for projects with bridges, retaining walls, slopes and embankments, sign structures, illumination, sound walls, and radio towers.
3. Field Operations. Requirements for drilling, sampling, and field testing.
4. Soil and Bedrock Logging. Description of material order, level of description, and classification.
5. Foundation Design. Guidelines for selecting foundation types, drilled shafts, piling, and requirements for scour analysis.
6. Retaining Walls. Requirements for retaining wall selection, layouts, design, and excavaton support.
7. Slope Stability. Requirements for slope stability design and analysis.
Engineering and Design Geodetic and Control Surveying (EM 1110-1-1004).pdf
This manual covers the use of engineering surveying techniques for establishing and/or extending project construction control. Accuracy requirements, standards, measurement procedures, calibrations, horizontal and vertical datum transformations, data reduction and adjustment methods, and engineering surveying techniques are outlined. The primary focus of this manual is on conventional (i.e., non-GPS) horizontal and vertical survey techniques using traditional ground survey instruments–transits, theodolites, levels, electronic total stations, etc. Typically, conventional survey techniques include traverse, triangulation, trilateration, and differential leveling.
Geodetic and Control Surveying Engineer Manual.pdf
This manual applies to all USACE commands having responsibility for the planning, engineering and design, operations, maintenance, construction, and related real estate and regulatory functions of civil works, military construction, and environmental restoration projects. It applies to control surveys performed by both hired-labor forces and contracted survey forces.
NAVSTAR Global Positioning System Surveying Engineer Manual.pdf
This manual applies to all USACE commands having responsibility for the planning, engineering and design, operation, maintenance, construction, and related real estate and regulatory functions of civil works, military construction, and environmental restoration projects. It applies to GPS survey performance by both hired-labor forces and contracted survey forces. It is also applicable to surveys performed or procured by local interest groups under various cooperative or cost-sharing agreements.
