INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION:

This manual is intended to guide you through several survey works during survey camp.

Because of the nature of the work, you may have to say in the camp director. All students

everyday to the camp site as planned and arranged by the camp director. All students must

start to the camp site from one place which also will be informed by the camp director/HOD.

Read this manual as well as text books before commencing your work at the field. Being

prepared will help you to finish the field work early. You may require to perform calculations

after regular camp hours. Anticipate and adapt to any unexpected bad weather etc.

All reading must be noted using pen. Pencil should not be used in the field book except

drawing sketch or diagram if needed. Each batch must submit the field book to the camp

director/staff in charge for your batch. At the end of the survey camp, a survey report must be

submitted by each student which is considered to be an engineering technical report. Consider

this manual as only a guideline for preparing the survey report. Students are strictly advised

not to copy the wording, procedure, results, and conclusions given in this manual. As such,

you will be evaluated on your ability to clearly communicate your methodology, results, and

ideas to others. All charts, plots and drawings should be original.

SAFETY:

Safety is our prime concern at all times. If your conduct is deemed to compromise

safety regulations, you may be asked to leave camp and disciplinary action will be taken. Do

not perform unauthorized experiments by yourself. Never leave the survey equipments

unattended in the field. There must be no fooling around in the camp site. The students are

strictly advised to wear shoes during the entire hours of the camp as a measure of safety.

BHATCHES:

The readings are to be done by the batch as grouped by the camp director/HOD and

report should be submitted by each student. Team work is also an important aspect of this

course and it will enhance your performance.

1. TRILATERATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION:

Trilateration is a method of calculating the distance between the station points of a

closed traverse. The trilateration work was carried out in the S.G.I.T.campus. In this method,

the lengths of the sides and diagonals of the quadrilaterals are measured and then the

necessary correction are made.

1.2 BASE LINE:

The measurement of base line forms the most important part of the triangulation

operations. The base line is laid down with great accuracy of measurement and alignment as

it forms the basis for the computations of triangulation system.

1.2.1 Selection of Site for Base Line:

Since the accuracy in the measurement of the baseline depends upon the site

conditions, the following points be taken into consideration while selecting the site:

The site should be fairly level.

The site should free from obstructions through the whole of the length.

The extremities of the base should be intervisible at ground level.

The ground should be reasonably firm and smooth.

The site should extension to primary triangulation.

1.3 STATIONS:

The selection of stations is based upon the following considerations:

The trilateration station should be intervisible. For this purpose, they should be placed

upon the most elevated ground.

They should from well shaped triangles. No angles should be smaller than 30° or

greater than 120°.

The stations should be easily accessible.

They should be so selected that the length of sight is neither too small nor too large.

They should be in commanding situation.

15

1.4 INSTRUMENTS USED:

1. Theodolite

2. Ranging rods

3. 30m chain

4. Subtense Bar

1.5 ROUTINE OF TRILATERATION SURVEY:

The routine of survey generally consists of the following operations:

Reconnaissance

Erection of signals and towers

Measurement of length of the sides

Checking of length of the sides

Astronomical observations at laplace stations, and

Computations

1.6 RECONNAISSANCE:

Trilateration was carried out in the S.G.I.T.campus. Reconnaissance survey at the site

was done before starting the work. The area was grassy with some short herbs. There was no

obstruction to the survey work. Food, instruments, transportation was also easier as it was

within our college campus.

1.7 ERECTION OF SIGNALS AND TOWERS:

A signal is a device erected to define the exact position of an observed station. Day

light or non luminous signal i.e., flags tied to posts (ranging rods),are used as signals

at the different four stations.

A tower is a structure erected over a station for the support of the instrument and

observing party and is provided when the station or the signal or both to be elevated.

Since the survey is done on temporary stations a rigid, smooth and flat surface is

selected and the instrument and observing party are setup over that and the

observations are taken.

16

1.8 MEASUREMENT OF LENGTH OF THE SIDES:

1. At first the instrument is setup at station A and all the temporary adjustments like

centring, levelling, and focusing are done.

2. The venire A is made to 0 and thus venire B as 180 and the instrument is made as face

left. Now the lower clamp of the theodolite is loosened and the targets placed at B

point is bisected for exact bisection. Exact bisection of the station is done using the

lower tangential screw.

3. Through telescope the line AB is ranged and the length AB by using subtense bar for

finding horizontal distance.

4. Similarly, the other sides of the triangle i.e., length AP measured from A to P, and

length BP is measured by ranging and chaining from station B to P.

5. Likewise various triangles are formed within the given quadrilateral plot and the sides

of all other triangles such as ∆𝐴𝑃𝐵, ∆𝐵𝑃𝑄, ∆𝐴𝑄𝐵 are measured by chaining along the

sides of these triangles.

6. The measured length of the sides of the triangles is then noted in observations.

1.9 CHECKING THE LENGTH OF THE SIDES:

1) The checking of the measured length of the sides are done by using

Theodolite

2) The theodolite instrument is kept at the target station A and the initial

adjustments and the side of triangles calculating by using sine rule.

3) The target is kept at the target station B and the ray by observing the

levelling staff in the target the accurate length between the two stations can

be determined.

4) Similarly all other all other length of the sides of the four triangles are

determined.

5) Thus with these length measurements the chainage length can be

corrected.

17

1.10 ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS AT LAPLACE STATIONS:

1. Setup the theodolite and perform all the three temporary adjustments.

2. Set venire A to read O tight upper clamp

3. Keep face left and direct the telescope, bisect the ranging rod at P

4. Now tighter the lower clamp and release the upper lamp

5. Swing the telescope and bring the image of the sun to the I-quadrant of the cross hair

6. For making the vertical and horizontal hair tangential to the image of the sun, use the

upper clamp and vertical circle clamp. Immediately note down the time, horizontal

angle and vertical angle.

7. Change the face and release the upper clamp and vertical circle clamp and being the

image of the sun to the III quadrant, making the horizontal and vertical hairs

tangential to the image. Immediately note down the time, vertical angle and horizontal

circle reading.

8. Average of the concerned two values gives that value corresponding to the sun.

1.16 CONCLUSION:

The angles found by the cosine formula were used to find the co-ordinates of various

stations.

Through trilateration, we learnt to calculate the dimensions of closed traverse. This

finds the application in large survey projects like urban rehabilitation and land use.

2. DETERMINATION OF THE LATITUDE OF THE PLACE

OF OBSERVATION

2.1 AIM:

The aim of geodetic survey is to establish a certain number of points on the surface whose

relative positions and elevations are determined. The positions of these points are determined

relatively in terms of length and zenith of line joining them absolutely in terms of the co

ordinate latitudes and elevation of sea level. These points serve as control points with

reference to which other ordinary topographic survey may be carried out. Hence it is more

accurate the control points wherein primarily angles are measured and the sides connecting

the points are computed with reference to choose accurate base line.

2.2 TRIANGULATION:

The horizontal control in geodetic survey is established either by triangulation system

consists of number of inter connected triangles in which the length of only one line a/called

the base lines and the angles of the triangles are measured very precisely. Knowing the length

of one side and the three angles, the length of other two sides of each triangle is computed.

The apex of the triangle is called the triangulation station. The main advantage of

triangulation is that it tends to accumulation of errors subsidiary bases are also selected.

2.3 METHODS ADOPTED:

2.3.1 TRIANGULATION METHOD:

The routine of triangulation survey generally consists of the following operations:

1. Reconnaissance

2. Erection of signals and towers

3. Measurement of base line

4. Measurement of horizontal angle

5. Astronomical observations

6. computations

1. The site should be fairly level. In shopping grounds, the slopes should be

uniform and gentle.

2. The site should be free from obstructions.

3. The extremities of the base should be inter visible.

4. The ground should be firm and smooth.

2.4 APPARATUS REQUIRED:

Forms of base measuring apparatus:

There are two forms:

1. Rigid bars

2. Flexible apparatus

o Rigid bars:

1. Contact apparatus

2. Optical apparatus

o Flexible apparatus:

The flexible apparatus consists of,

1. Steel invar tape

2. Steel and brass wires

2.4.1 INVAR TAPE:

Invar is steel alloy consists of 30% of nickel. It is least expansible steel alloy the co

efficient of thermal expansion is the lowest of all the known metals and alloys.

The main advantage of this tape is that it undergoes some secular change in its

length which increases slowly with time. It is softer than steel and should be handled

carefully. They are available in length of 30 to 100m with 6mm wide. They are

usually divided into mm to length of 10cm each end.

1. Three standardized tapes one for fixed measurement and the other two for

standardizing the fixed tape.

2. Straining device, making tripods supporting tripods.

28

3. A steel tape for spacing tripods

4. 6 thermometers – 4 for measuring temperature of field tape and 2 for

standardization.

2.4.2 OTHER INSTRUMENTS USED:

1. Theodolite

2. Invar steel

3. Small tripods

4. Weights – 5,8,10kgs

5. Dumpy level

6. Staff

2.5 ADVANTAGES:

1. Due to greater length of flexible apparatus, a wider choice of base site is

available.

2. The speed of measurement is quicker and thus less expansive, in this project

the invar tape is used to measure the tape.

2.6 PROCEDURE:

To start with the theodolite is set on any one of the stations say A. The work is carried

towards B.

The station B is sighted through the telescope of the theodolite.

The tripods are ranged along the line of the theodolite at approximately equidistant

between them such that the invar tape is divided into segments.

The invar tape is stretched on the knife edge of the tripods and the end is connected to

straining rods. To the other end of the tape weights are put to eliminate sagging of

tape to certain extent.

One thing is too kept in mind that means the main divisions of the tape should rest

over the knife edge of the tripod which helps to read the length directly.

The level staff is kept on top of tripod and levels are taken the difference in level

between two successive tripods is taken as h.

If the base line is too length than the tape the theodolite is shifted and again ranged

towards B and then towards A and the tripods are shifted and placed in the forward

directions.

29

The absolute length of the base line is then obtained by applying corrections of

temperature, slope, sag and pull.

2.7 CORRECTIONS:

2.7.1 CORRECTION FOR TEMPERATURE:

The correction for temperature is given by Ct = ∝ (Tm – To)

Where,

A = co efficient of linear expansion

To=temperature at which the tape is standardized

Tm= temperature measured during measurement

Ct = temperature measured during measurement

2.7.2 CORRECTION FOR PULL:

Cp = (p – po) L/AE

Where,

P = Pull applied during measurement in kgs

Po = Standard pull

L = length of the tape segment

A = area of cross section of tape segment

E = modulus of elasticity in kg/cm

2.7.3 CORRECTION FOR SAG:

Cs = L(WL)^2/24P^2

Where,

L = distance between supports

W=Weight of tape per unit length

P = Pull applied in kgs

T = total length of the tape

2.7.4 CORRECTION FOR TAPE:

Cv = H^2/2L

Where,

L = span between two supports

H = difference in level between two successive pegs

Details of steel tape used for measurement for measurement of baseline are as follows:

30

2.7.5 STANDARD VALUES:

(corresponding to invar tape)

1. Standard temperature = 20c

2. Standard pull = 10kgs

EX. NO:

DATE:

3. DETERMINATION OF THE LONGITUDE OF THE PLACE

OF OBSERVATION

3.1 AIM:

The aim of geodetic survey is to establish a certain number of points on the surface whose

relative positions and elevations are determined. The positions of these points are determined

relatively in terms of length and zenith of line joining them absolutely in terms of the co

ordinate latitudes, longitudes and elevation of sea level. These points serve as control points

with reference to which other ordinary topographic survey may be carried out. Hence it is

more accurate the control points wherein primarily angles are measured and the sides

connecting the points are computed with reference to choose accurate base line.

3.2 TRIANGULATION:

The horizontal control in geodetic survey is established either by triangulation system

consists of number of inter connected triangles in which the length of only one line a/called

the base lines and the angles of the triangles are measured very precisely. Knowing the length

of one side and the three angles, the length of other two sides of each triangle is computed.

The apex of the triangle is called the triangulation station. The main advantage of

triangulation is that it tends to accumulation of errors subsidiary bases are also selected.

3.3 METHODS ADOPTED:

3.3.1 TRIANGULATION METHOD:

The routine of triangulation survey generally consists of the following operations:

1. Reconnaissance

2. Erection of signals and towers

3. Measurement of base line

4. Measurement of horizontal angle

5. Astronomical observations

6. computations

49

3.3.2 BASE LINE MEASUREMENT:

The measurement of base line forms the most important part of the triangulations. The base

line is laid with great accuracy of measurement and alignment at it terms the basis for the

computation of triangulation system.

3.3.3 SELECTION OF SITE:

1. The site should be fairly level. In shopping grounds, the slopes should be uniform

and gentle.

2. The site should be free from obstructions.

3. The extremities of the base should be inter visible.

4. The ground should be firm and smooth.

3.4 APPARATUS REQUIRED:

Forms of base measuring apparatus:

There are two forms:

1. Rigid bars

2. Flexible apparatus

Rigid bars:

1. Contact apparatus

2. Optical apparatus

Flexible apparatus:

The flexible apparatus consists of,

1. Steel invar tape

2. Steel and brass wires

3.4.1 INVAR TAPE:

Invar is steel alloy consists of 30% of nickel. It is least expansible steel alloy the co

efficient of thermal expansion is the lowest of all the known metals and alloys.

The main advantage of this tape is that it undergoes some secular change in its

length which increases slowly with time. It is softer than steel and should be handled

carefully. They are available in length of 30 to 100m with 6mm wide. They are

usually divided into mm to length of 10cm each end.

50

1. Three standardized tapes one for fixed measurement and the other two

for standardizing the fixed tape.

2. Straining device, making tripods supporting tripods.

3. A steel tape for spacing tripods

4. 6 thermometers – 4 for measuring temperature of field tape and 2 for

standardization.

3.4.2 OTHER INSTRUMENTS USED:

1. Theodolite

2. Invar steel

3. Small tripods

4. Weights – 5,8,10kgs

5. Dumpy level

6. Staff

3.5 ADVANTAGES:

1. Due to greater length of flexible apparatus, a wider choice of base site is

available.

2. The speed of measurement is quicker and thus less expansive, in this

project the invar tape is used to measure the tape.

3.6 PROCEDURE:

To start with the theodolite is set on any one of the stations say A. The work is carried

towards B.

The station B is sighted through the telescope of the theodolite.

The tripods are ranged along the line of the theodolite at approximately equidistant

between them such that the invar tape is divided into segments.

The invar tape is stretched on the knife edge of the tripods and the end is connected to

straining rods. To the other end of the tape weights are put to eliminate sagging of

tape to certain extent.

One thing is too kept in mind that means the main divisions of the tape should rest

over the knife edge of the tripod which helps to read the length directly.

The level staff is kept on top of tripod and levels are taken the difference in level

between two successive tripods is taken as h.

51

If the base line is too length than the tape the theodolite is shifted and again ranged

towards B and then towards A and the tripods are shifted and placed in the forward

directions.

The absolute length of the base line is then obtained by applying corrections of

temperature,slope,sag and pull.

3.7 CORRECTIONS:

3.7.1 CORRECTION FOR TEMPERATURE:

The correction for temperature is given by Ct = ∝ (Tm – To)

Where,

A = co efficient of linear expansion

To=temperature at which the tape is standardized

Tm= temperature measured during measurement

Ct = temperature measured during measurement

3.7.2 CORRECTION FOR PULL:

Cp = (p – po)L/AE

Where,

P = Pull applied during measurement in kgs

Po = Standard pull

L = length of the tape segment

A = area of cross section of tape segment

E = modulus of elasticity in kg/cm

3.7.3CORRECTION FOR SAG:

Cs = L(WL)^2/24P^2

Where,

L = distance between supports

W=Weight of tape per unit length

P = Pull applied in kgs

T = total length of the tape

3.7.4CORRECTION FOR TAPE:

Cv = H^2/2L

Where,

52

L = span between two supports

H = difference in level between two successive pegs

Details of steel tape used for measurement for measurement of baselinr are as follows:

3.7.5 STANDARD VALUES:

(corresponding to invar tape)

3. Standard temperature = 20c

4. Standard pull = 10kgs

4. BLOCK CONTOURING

4.1 INTRODUCTION:

Contouring is a method of representing the ground surface from using contour

lines. The block contour is a method by which a given area is divided into a number of blocks

of equal dimensions. The map of the area is drawn using this contour line. The contour lines

are imaginary lines on the ground joining the points of equal elevation. These are drawn by

determining the reduced level of various points within the area. The intermediate points may

be chosen based on the convenience.

4.2 INSTRUMENTS USED:

1. Dumpy level:

The dumpy level is used for determining the differences of the

elevations of various stations.

2. Levelling staff:

Leveling staff of 0.005m least count is used to deduce the R.L.of

the points.

3. Metric chain:

A 30 m metric chain is used for setting out the blocks.

4. Arrows & pegs

4.3 RECONNAISSANCE:

The site selected for contouring was an undulated area outside the S.G.I.T

campus. The area was visited by our team one day before we started the exercise. We found

that the area was most suitable for contouring.

4.4 PROCEDURE:

The site of block contour was selected outside our college campus by

reconnaissance survey.

The dimensions were taken to be size of 12000sqm

Then the area was divided into blocks of size 5m x 5m by using cross

staff , chain and ranging rods.

The dumpy levels are fixed at a station such that all the intersecting

points of the blocks were visible.

71

Then the staff readings were taken by keeping the staff at all the

intersecting points of the blocks.

Then the R.L.is determined by the height of collimation method.

Finally, all the reduced levels are plotted in the A2 size graph sheet.

The contours are drawn by connecting the points having the same

1.600-3.430 = 98.170 - 100.000

-1.830 = -1.830

Note:

Where, B.S - BACK SIGHT

I.S - INTERMEDIATE SIGHT

F.S - FORE SIGHT

Reduced Level Of Given Bench Mark = 100.000 m.

Reduced Level = ( R.L Of Bench Mark + B.S ) - I.S/F.S

74

4.6 RESULT:

The R.L of the various intermediate points was deduced from the staff

readings taken at the site. From the deduced R.L. a contour map was drawn indicating the

points of equal elevation in the given area.

4.7 CONCLUSION:

We gained experience in drawing the contour maps, which can be used for

tracing contour gradients and locating routs, measurements of drainage area and calculating

the reservoir capacity.

5. HIGHWAY PROJECT

5.1 INTRODUTION:

The highway projects consist of aligning a highway and calculating the earthwork

involved by determining the cross-section of the highway at various intervals. The centerline

was divided into equal intervals. The cross-section of the highway at these regular were found

by cross levelling. The drawing of the cross-section is prepared with formation width and side

slopes. The earthwork involved is calculated from the area of the cross-section.

5.2 INSTRUMENTS USED:

Dumpy level

Levelling staff

Arrows

Chain

Cross staff

Ranging rod

5.3 RECONNAISSANCE:

It is a primary survey that has to be conducted before every survey work.

During this site is visited to get a general idea about how to begin the work.

5.4 PROCEDURE:

Centreline was marked along the alignment of the road.

Assumed road width at ground level was 4m.

Along the centreline the points are marked at 10m interval up to entire length

and named as A, B, C, D, E and F…..

In the traverse direction offsets were marked at 2m interval from each point on both side of

the central line up to edge of the road

1. The staff was kept at all offsets and readings were tabulated.

2. The reduced level of all the offsets is calculated.

3. The cross-section and longitudinal section are drawn in the graph and earth work was

calculated using prismodial formula.

6. TRIANGULATION

6.1 INTRODUCTION:

Triangulation is a process of establishing horizontal control in surveying. The triangulation

system consists of number of interconnected triangles in which the length of the base lines

and the angles of the triangles are measured very precisely. The triangulation stations were

selected based on the inter visibility of the stations, shape of the triangles to be formed, the

length of the sight, accessibility to the stations. The horizontal angles were measured by

repetition method.

6.2 BASELINE:

The measurement of base line forms the most important part of the triangulation operations.

The base line is laid down with great accuracy of measurement and alignment as it forms the

basis for the computations of triangulation system.

6.2.1 Selection of site for baseline: Since the accuracy in the measurement of the base line depends upon the site

conditions, the following points be taken into consideration while selecting the site:

The site should be fairly level

The site should be free from obstructions throughout the whole of the length

The extremities of the base should be intervisible at ground level

The ground should be reasonably firm and smooth

The site should be extended to primary triangulation

6.3 TRIANGULATION STATION:

The selection of stations is based upon the following considerations:

The triangulation station should be intervisible.For this purpose,they should be placed

upon the most elevated ground.

They should from well shaped triangles.No angles should be smaller than 30° or

greater than 120°.

103

The stations should be easily accessible

They should be so selected that the length of sight is neither too small nor too large.

They should be in commanding situation.

6.4 INSTRUMENTS USED:

Theodolite : Used to focus the station and for measuring the horizontal angles

Tripodstand:The theodolite is fixed on it and leveled at the station points

Tape : It is used measure the distance of the base line

Arrows and Pegs

Ranging rods: To range the intermediate points in the survey line

6.5 ROUTINE OF TRIANGULATION SURVEY:

The routine of triangulation survey generally consists of the following operations:

Reconnaissance

Erection of signals & Towers

Measurement of baselines

Measurement of horizontal angles

Astronomical observations at Laplace stations and

Computations

6.6 RECONNAISANCE:

For triangulation, the mountable hill at karattumedu waschosen. Reconnaissance

survey at the site was done before actually starting the exercise. The easiest route for tracking

by means of transport and visibility of other stations from that particular station was ensured

and the work was planned accordingly. The base line was chosen in a farm near the S.G.I.T

campus and visibility of two other station points (a hill temple and the hilltop) was ensured

from the base stations.

104

6.7 ERECTION OF SIGNALS AND TOWERS:

A signal is a device erected to define the exact position of an observed station.

Daylight or non luminous signal i.e., flags tied to posts (ranging rods), are used as

signals at the different four stations.

A tower is a structure erected over a station for the support of the instrument and

observing party and is provided when the station,or the signal,or both to be

elevated.Since the survey is done on temporary stations a rigid, smooth and flat

surface is selected and the instrument and observing party are setup over that and the

observaions are taken.

6.8 MEASUREMENT OF BASE LINES:

The base line is established to a length of 61.25m approximately. The base line

length is accurately measured using a total station. Thus the base line ends are P and Q.

6.9 MEASUREMENT OF HORIZONTAL ANGLES:

Each batch is sent to each point of triangulation system namely P,Q,R,S.

At first the instrument is set up at station P and all the temporary

adjustments like centering, leveling,and focusing are done.

The vernier A is made to 0 and thus vernier B as 180 and the instrument

is made as face left. now the lower clamp of the theodolite is loosened

and the targets placed at S point is bisected for exact bisection. Exact

bisection of the station is done using the lower tangential screw.

The upper screw is loosened and the telescope is turned clockwise to

bisect the target placed at R.

The readings are both verniers are noted down. The upper screw is

tightened and the lower screw is loosened to bisect the point S(repetition

method). Similarly three face left readings are taken.

The mean value of this reading gives the exact angle

Between line PS and PR.

Similar procedures was repeated for all angles which are possible at one

station.

105

Then the instrument is shifted to the other stations Q,R and S and all

intermediate angles between the station lines are observed and the

angular readings are tabulated.

6.10 ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS AT PLACE STATIONS:

Setup the theodolite at S and perform all the three temporary adjustments.

Set vernier A to read O and tighten upper clamp.

Keep face left and direct the telescope to bisect the ranging rod at P.

Now tighten the lower clamp and release the upper clamp.

Sawing the telescope and bring the image of the sun to the I – quadrant of the

cross hairs

For making the vertical and horizontal hair tangential to the image of the sun, use

the upper tangent screw and vertical circle tangent screw after tightening the upper

clamp and vertical circle clamp. Immediately note down the time, horizontal angle

and vertical angle.

Change the face and release the upper clamp and vertical circle clamp and bring

the image of the sun to the III- quadrant, making the horizontal and vertical hairs

tangential to the image of the sun. Immediately note down the time, vertical angle

and horizontal circle reading.

Average of the concerned two values gives that value corresponding to the sun.

6.14 CONCLUSION:

Thus the triangulation was completed by measuring the horizontal angles at various

stations. Viewed from each of the four stations P,Q,R,S for each angle six set of readings

were taken and they are tabulated. The average of the three set of face left readings was

calculated similarly the average face right observations were calculated. The average of these

two averages gives the required horizontal angle. These angles were used to calculate the

distance between various fixed stations P,Q,R,S.

The experience gained by triangulation is to be obtain the horizontal control over the

required stations which are at distances that cannot be measured by direct means. These

triangles may form a frame work to which cadastral, topographical, hydrographical

engineering and other surveys may be referred.

7. RADIAL CONTOURING

7.1 INTRODUCTION:

Contouring is a method of representing the ground surface from using contour

lines. The radial contouring is the method by which intermediate points are taken on the

radial lines whose reduced levels are used to draw the contour maps. The radial lines are

those lines which radiate from a fixed point with some uniform angle (30°). The leveling staff

is held at various points on the radial lines and the staff readings are noted. From those, the

reduced levels can be determined.

7.2 INSTRUMENTS USED:

Theodolite and tripod:

The theodolite is used here for angular spacing of the radial lines and for

reading staff.

Levelling staff:

Leveling staff of 0.005m least count is used to deduce the

R.L.of the points.

7.3 RECONNAISSANCE:

The area given to us was a small hill. We can get the contour lines at some

particular intervals. During the survey, we decided that where the instrument should be

placed and which direction the staff man should go along the radial lines.

7.4 PROCEDURE:

The transit theodolite,is placed exactly over the station point

The temporary adjustment namely centering,leveling,focusing the eye

piece and the object glass are done perfectly.

The staff reading over the bench mark is noted down.

The vernier face are adjusted such that vernier A line.

The upper,middle and the lower hair readings are noted down and the

vertical angles if necessary.

118

Similarly various readings are observed along the same line and by

varying the distances approximately at equal intervals.

The telescope is turned clockwise by 30° and focused along B line: the

same procedure is repeated.

Using the above observations, the distance between the instrument

station and the staff station and the R.L. of all points are calculated and

the contours are plotted.

Note:

Reduced Level Of Given Bench Mark = 100.000 M.

Reduced Level = R.L Of Bench Mark + Height Of Instrument - Vertical Distance - Middle Hair Reading

Where,

S.I –STAFF INTERCEPT R.L - REDUCED LEVEL

H.D – HORIZONTAL DISTANCE L - LEFT

V.D –VERTICAL DISTANCE C - CENTRE

H.I – HEIGHT OF INSTRUMENT R - RIGHT

7.6 RESULT:

Thus the staff readings and the R.L. of the intermediate points calculated are tabulated.

The radial lines were connected with an angular spacing of 30°, starting from 0º to 360°. Smooth

curves of various contour lines were drawn connecting points of equal elevation and the contour map

is prepared.

7.7 CONCLUSION:

The contour lines joining the point of equal elevation represented in the contour map

can be used for selecting the appropriate route for the highway alignment and to determine the

quantity of earthwork to be involved in the respective projects etc.

8. DETERMINATION OF THE AZIMUTH OF A SURVEY LINE BY

OBSERVATION ON THE SUN

8.1 AIM:

To determine the azimuth of the given survey line.

8.2APPARATUS REQUIRED:

Azimuth is the horizontal angle, a celestial body makes with the pole.

8.3 PROCEDURE:

1. Set the instruments over the station mark and level it accurately.

2. Clamp both the plates to zero and sight to reference mark (R.M).

3. Turn to the sun observe altitude and horizontal angle with sun in quadrant of cross wire

system. The motion in the azimuth is slow and vertical hair is kept in contact by the upper

screw (slow motion),the sun being allowed to make contact with the horizontal hair. The

time of observation is also noted.

4. Using the two tangent screws as quickly as possible being the sun into quadrant III of the

cross wire and again read the horizontal and vertical angle. Observe also the chronometer

time.

5. Turn to RM, reverse the face and take another sight on RM.

6. Take two more observation of the sun precisely in the same way as in steps 3&4, but this

time sun is in quadrant II&IV. Note the time of each observation.

7. Finally bisect the RM to see the reading is zero.
