|
|
Theory |
Describe the functions of a plan and profile drawing. |
|
|
|
|
|
Discuss the fieldwork required to obtain the data for a plan and profile drawing. |
|
|
|
|
|
Identify all common symbols used on plan and profile drawings. |

|
|
|
Define "grade" and compute the grades of roads given total rise and run. |
|
|
|
|
Application |
