leveling
Levelling is a &ranch o surveying the o&ject o %hich is '
()* to ind the elevations o given points %ith respect to a given or assumed
datum+
(,* to esta&lish points at a given elevation or at dierent elevations %ith respect to
a given or assumed datum#
Level Line - level line is a line lying in a level surace# .t is+ thereore+ normal to
the plum& line at all points#
Horizontal Line .t is straight line tangential to the level line at a point# .t is alsoperpendicular to the line deined &y a plum& line#
principle o! levelling
The principle o level lies in urnishing a horizontal line o sight and ind the
vertical distance o the points a&ove or &elo% the line o site# - line o sight is
provided %ith a level+ and a graduated leveling sta provides the vertical height o
a station %ith reerence to the level line#
Intr"#ent $eig$t%The elevation o line o site %ith respect to assumed datum is kno%n as height o
instrument or instrument height# .t does not mean the height o telescope a&ove the
ground level %ere the level is setup#
te#porar& a'("t#ent o! a level%
Temporary adjustments are done &eore the &eginning o the survey and ater

• The levelling head generally con o t%o parallel plates %ith either threeAoot
scre%s#
• The upper plate is kno%n as tri &ranch and the lo%er plate is kno%n as trivet
%hich can &e scre%ed on to a tripod#
The advantages o the dumpy level over the 0ye level are'
(i* Simpler construction %ith e%er mova&le parts#(ii* Fe%er adjustments to &e made#

introduced rom either end and then i/ed in position &y a scre%#
• The sockets are rigidly connected to the spindle through a stage#
• 1nce the telescope is pushed into the sockets and the scre% is tightened+ the level
acts as a dumpy level#
• For testing and making the adjustments+ the scre% is slackened and the telescope
can &e taken out and reversed end or end# The telescope can also &e turned %ithin

IV. THEODOLITE SURVEYING :
Theodolite – vernier and micro tic – Description and uses – Temporary
and permanent adjustment of vernier transite – Horizontal angles – Vertical angle
height of distance – Traversing closing error and distribution – cale’s table –
orient measurement.
TACHOMETRY SURVEY :-
Tachometry is a branch of angular surveying in which A horizontal &
vertical distance is of points are obtain by optical means as suppose to ordinary
slow process of measure by tape chain. This methods is very rapid & convenient.
All though the accuracy of tachometry is low it is best adopted in obstructed such
as steep & broken ground stretches of water etc which make drawn age difficult.
They primary object of tachometry is the preparation of contour maps are plans
required with both horizontal & vertical measurements also accuracy
improvement it provides at check an distance measure with tape.
At the instruments a normally transit theodalite pitted with stadia
diaphragm is generally used for tachometry survey. A stadia diaphragm

the horizontal cross hair. Telescope is used in stadia surveying are of 3 types :-
(i) Simple external focusing telescope
(ii) External focusing analytic
(iii) Internal focusing telescope
Different system of Tachometry measurements :-
(i) Fixed hair method (or) stadia method(ii) Movable hair method (or) substance
Fixed hair method :-
In method observation are made with stadia diaphragm having stadia
wires at fixed (a) constant distance occur. They reading an the staff
corresponding to all three wires are taken. The staff intercept that is the differents
of reading corresponding to top & bottom stadia wires will depend on the
distance of the staff from the instrument when the staff intercept is more than thelength of the staff only ½ interne of real. For inclined said reading may be taken
by keeping the staff either vertical a normal to the line of site.
Subtense method :-
This method is similar to fixed hair method except the stadia internal is
varying table arrangement is may to --- distance between the stadia hair so as to
said them against the two targets on the staff kept at a point and observation this
in this case the staff intercept that is the distance between the two forgets is kept
fixed while the stadia interval that is the distance between the stadia hair is
carrying as is the case of fixed hair method inclined site they out show be taken
the tangential method. They stadia being taken against the horizontal hair as
against any two point on the staff on their corresponding vertical angles are
measured. This measurement of vertical angles tube for one single observation.

Curves are generally used on highways and railways way there is
necessary to change direction of motion. It curve classified as
(1) simple curve
(2) compound curve
(3) reverse curve
Uniform radiations curvature is called simple curve.
Two variable radius curvatures are called the compound curve.
Two curves in upside and downside curve is called reverse curve.
OTHER TYPES:-
Vertical and horizontal curves
BACK TANGENT:-
The tangent AT1 previous to the curve is called Back tangent or first
tangent.
FORWARD TANGENT:-
The tangent T2B following the curve is called second tangent.
POINT OF INTERSECTION:-
If the two tangent AT2 and BT2 are produced they two meet in a point v
called the point of intersection.
POINT OF CURVE:-
It is the beginning of curve where the alignment changes from tangent to
curve.

tangent.
INTERSECTION ANGLE:-
The angle between tangent AB, BB is intersection angle at external
deflection angle.
DEFLECTION ANGLE TO ANY POINT:-
The deflection angle to any point on the curve the angle BC between the
back tangent or they move from BC to the point on the curve.
TANGENT DISTANCE:-
It is the distance between PC to PI then be equal to PI & PT
EXTERNAL DISTANCE:-
It is the distance from the mid point of the curve 2PI.
LENGTH OF CURVE: L
It is the total length of curve from PC to (P.T)

SUB CHORD:-
Sub chord is any chord shorter than normal chord.
RIGHT HAND CURVE:-
If the curve is deflective to the right of the direction of progress of survey iscalled right hand curve.
LEFT HAND CURVE:-
If the curve is deflective to the left of the direction of progress of survey is
called left hand curve.
DESIGNATION OF THE CURVE:-
The sharpness of the curve is designated either by radius at by its degreeof curvature. The degree of curvature is defined as the central angle of the curve
then it subtended by curve 100 ft length. According to the chord definition the
degree of curvature is defined as the central angle of the curve that is subtended
by a chord of 100 feet length.
SETTING OUT OF SIMPLE CURVES:-
(i) LINEAR METHOD:-
In linear method only a chain or tape is used. These used when the
degree of accuracy required is low are when the curve is short.
(ii) ANGULAR METHOD:-
In angular method instrument such as theodolite are used along which
chain or tape. It is hardly accumulated and can be used for longer curves.
Before a curve is set out it is a tangent point of intersection. Point of curve
and point of tangent.

LOCATION OF TANGENT:-
Before setting out the curve the surveyer is always sub lying with the
working plane upon which the general alignment of tangent is known in relation
of the transverse controlling the survey of the area.
Know in objects to certain points on both a tangents the tangents can be
marked in the ground by tape measure the tangents may be the set out by
theodolite by trivalent error sudden the pass through the mark as really as
possible. The total deflection angle (α) and then it is measured by setting
theodolite on P.I
LINEAR MEASUREMENTS OF SETTING AT CURVES:-
(i) By ordinates or offset by chart.
(ii) By successive bisection of areas.
(iii) By offset from the tangents.
(iv) By offset from the chords.

(i) set up one theodalite at T1 with a zero reading facing the point V (P.i)
similarly setup another theodalite at T2 (P.T) with zero reading facing T1
(P.C) set the reading of each of transit to the defection angle S1 for the first
point A. The line of site of both the theodalites are thus directed towards A
along T1A & T2A respectively.

cross hairs of both instrument thus point A is fixed. To fix the second point B
set readings S2 cm both instruments an by sects the ranging rod repeat the
last two steps for location of remaining points.
The method is expansion since two instruments & two surveyor are
required. How ever the methods is more accrue since each point is fixed
independently of the other.
Lenear method of setting out curves:
(i) By ordinate from long chord
L = length of long chord
R = Radius of curvature of the curve
To set out the curve a long chord is divided into even number of equal
points offsets are calamite from formula & then set out a each of these points.
(ii) By successive by section of arcs or chords:-
CD = R (1 – cos ∆ /2)
EF = R ( 1- cos ∆ /4)
GH = R (1 –cos ∆ /8)
Joint the tangent T1, T2 & by sect the long chord D, erected DC &
make in equal to R (1 – cos ∆ /2)
Joint T1C & T2C by sect them a F & F1 at F1 and F2 set out offsets
equal to R (1 – cos ∆ /4) to get the point EE1 on the curve by
successive by section of these chords more points can be obtain
offset from tangents.

set out by setting theodalite T1 and second branch is setout by set the at the
point D.
(i) For the first curve calculate the tangent angles for set out curve by
rankines method.
Set the theodalite at T1 & set out the first branch of curve calculating the
chord length C.
Calculate the tangent angles for second branch and set out curve by
placing instrument at D mark the curve T2 is reach.
(ii) Set the observation by measure angle T1 D1 T2 with should be equal
to
∠ T1 DT2 = 180 – (∆1 + ∆2 /2 )
Transverse Curve :
Transitional curve : Starting point -> radius of curve.
General requirement of T.C :
(i) A T.C is easement curve is the curve of varing radius introduce
between a straight line under circular curve are between two branches of the
compound or reverse curve.
