Trignometric Levelling
A method in which the relative elevation ofdifferent station are found out from themeasured vertical angle and known planehorizontal distance or geodetic distance, iscalled as the trignometric levelling.

Terrestrial refraction
The effect of refraction is to make the object appearhigher than they really are .
In plan surveying where a graduated staff isobserved either horizontal line of sight or inclinedline of sight ,the effect of refraction is to decreasethe staff reading and the correction is appliedlinearly to the observed staff reading
In trignometric levelling employed the elevation ofwidely distributed points ,the correction is appliedto the observed angles.

Let ,P and Q are the two points the difference in elevation between
these being required .Let,O = centre of the earth PO’ = tangent to the level line through P = horizontal line at PQO’ = horizontal line at Q<P’PO’ = α1 = observed angle of elevation from P to Q.<Q’QQ2 = β1 = observed angle of depression from Q to P.r = angle of refraction or angular correction for refraction= <P’PQ
5
Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
PP’ = tangent at P to the curve line of sight PQ=apparent sight .
QQ’ = tangent at Q to the curved line of sight QP =parent sight
d = horizontal distance between P and QR = mean radius of the earth = 6370 kmm = Co-efficient of refraction Ɵ = angle subtended at the centre by distance PP1 over
which the observation are made .
6
Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
The actual line of sight between P and Q should have been along the straight line PQ but due to the effect of the terrestrial refraction ,the actual line of sight curved concave towards the ground surface .PP’ is, therefore the apparent sight from Q to P and QQ’ is the apparent from Q to P.sincethe angle are measured on the circle of a theodolite ,they are measured in the horizontal plane .
7
Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
The angle measured at P towards Q is ,therefore ,the angle between the apparent sight P’P and the horizontal line PQ’
hence <P’PO’ = observed angle α1 ,the true angle elevation ,in the absence of refraction is
<P’PQ.calling this as r ,the correction is evidently subtractive
8
Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
Thus ,correct angle = <QPO’ = < P’PQ = α1- rSimilarly,the angle measured at Q towards P is <Q’QQ= β1 .the true angle of depression . In the absence
of refraction is <PQQ2.Hence the correction for refraction is <PQQ’ and be added
to the observed angle to get the correct angle.Thus the correct angle = < PQQ2 = < Q’QQ2 + <Q’QP =
β1 +r.Thus the correction for the refraction is subtractive to the
angle of elevation and additive for the angle of depression.

Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
Coefficient of refraction:-The co-efficient of refraction (m) is the ratio
of the angle of refraction and the angle subtended at the centre of the earth by the distance over which observation are tken
Thus, m = r/Ɵ or r = m. ƟThe value of ‘m’ varies roughly between 0.06
to 0.08

Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
Determination of correction refraction :-In order to determine the angle of refraction r.Case:-I : Distance ‘d’ small and ‘H’ large :-
r = ( Ɵ/2) – {(β1 – α 1) /2}It assumed that the refraction error ‘r’ is the same at both
station Writing r = m.Ɵand rearrange ,we get
2m Ɵ = Ɵ – (β1 - α 1 )β1 = α 1 + Ɵ( 1- 2m)
Thus the observed angle of depression Always exceed the angle of elevation by the amount Ɵ( 1- 2m)
Case :- II Distance ‘d’ large and ‘H’small:-In this case ,both α 1 and β1 are the angle of
depression Changing the sign of α 1 in equation r = ( Ɵ/2) – {(β1 – α 1) /2}.We get r = ( Ɵ/2) – {(β1 + α 1) /2}Which is reduce to: (β1 + α 1) = Ɵ (1 – 2m)
12
Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
Correction for curvature:-The correction for the curvature is
+Ɵ/2 for angle of elevation and - Ɵ/2 for angle of depression.Combined correction:-
Now,<O’PP1 = Ɵ/2 = d/ 2R radians =( d/ 2R sin1”) secondsAngular correction of refraction = mƟ
= (m.d/ R sin1”) seconds
13
Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
Hence , Combined angular correction =[ (d/ 2R sin1”) –(m.d/ R sin1”) ]= ( 1 – 2m ) d Seconds
2R sin1” The combined correction is positive for angles
of elevation and negative for angle of depression

Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
In order to observe the points from the theodolite station .signals of appropriate heights are erected at points to be observed .The signal may or may not be same height as that of the instrument .
If height of the signal is not same as that of the height of instrument axis above the station , a correction known as the axis signal correction or eye and object correction is to be applied.
17
Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
Let ,h1= height of instrument at P,for observation to
Q.h2 = height of instrument at Q,for bservation to
P.s1 = height of instrument at P ,instrument being Q.s2 = height of instrument at Q ,instrument being P.

the axis signal

For triangle PBO<BPO = <BPA + <APO = α + 900
<POB = Ɵ<PBO = 180 – ( 90 + α ) – Ɵ
= 90 – (α + Ɵ)<QBC = 90 – [ 90- (α + Ɵ)]
= (α + Ɵ)The angle δ1 is usually very small and hence <BCQ can
be approximately taken equal to 900.
BC = BQ cos (α + Ɵ) very nearly = (s2-h1)cos (α + Ɵ)] ………………………(1)
21
Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
For triangle PP1B,<BPP1= α + Ɵ/2<PBP1= 90 – (α + Ɵ)<PP1B = 180 –[ 90 - (α + Ɵ)]-(α + Ɵ/2)
= (90 + Ɵ/2)Now PB = PP1
sin PP1B sin PBP1PB = [(d.sin (90 + Ɵ/2)]/[sin(90 – (α + Ɵ)] = d.[ (cos Ɵ/2 ) / cos (α + Ɵ)]…………………..(2)
22
Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
For triangle PBC,Tanδ1 = BC
PBSubstituting the value of BC from (1) & (2)We get , Tanδ1 = (s2-h1)cos (α + Ɵ)
d. (cos Ɵ/2 )cos (α + Ɵ)
Tanδ1 = (s2-h1) cos2 (α + Ɵ)d .cos Ɵ/2 ………exactly
23
Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
Usually Ɵ is small in comparison to α and may be ignored
Tanδ1 = (s2-h1) cos2 α ……(a)d
The correction for signal evidently substrctivefor this case.
Similarly , if the if the observation are taken from Q towards P ,it can be proved that
Tanδ2 = (s2-h1) cos2 β ( additive)d
24
Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
The correction of axis signal is negative for angles of elevation and positive for angle of depression .
If , however angle α or β is very small ,we can take ,with sufficient accuracy
Tanδ1 = δ1 =( s2-h1) / d sin 1” seconds………….(b)Tanδ2 = δ2 =( s2-h2) / d sin 1” ………………………(c)By considering PB= PQ= PP1=d nd taking the arc with radius
equal to d. then
δ1 = [BQ/ d ]radians= [( s2-h1) / d ]= [( s2-h1) / d sin 1”] seconds
25
Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
This expression gives the sufficiently accurate result when the vertical angle is small , the difference is large and the difference in height of the signal and that of the instrument is small .after having calculated δ1 & δ2 , The angle corrected for the axis signal are given by
α1 ( elevation )= α - δ1 β1 ( Depression ) = β + δ2

Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
DETERMINATION OF DIFFRENCE IN ELEVATION:
The difference in elevation between the two points P & Q can be found out by two method(a) By single observation(b) By reciprocal observation.(a) By single observation:The following correction will have to applied:(1) Correction for Curvature.(2) Correction for refraction. (3) Correction for axis signal.
27
Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
Since the sign of these correction will depend upon the sign of the angle observed,
We shall consider following cases:(i) When the observed angle is the angle of
elevation.(ii) When the observed angle is the angle of
depression .
28
Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
For angle of Elevation

α = observed angle of elevation to Qα1 = observed angle corrected for axis signal = (α - δ1 )= [α – (s2 –h1)/d sin 1”] seconds.Therefore QP1= d.sin α1+(m.d/Rsin1”) +(d/ 2R sin1”)
Cos α1+(m.d/Rsin1”) +(d/ 2R sin1”)

Where the quantities (1-2m) (d/ 2R sin1”) and (1 – m) (d/ R sin1”) are in seconds.Approximate Expressions:˂PP1Q= 90,Ѳ is very smallQP1 =H = PP1 tan QPP1= d tan [α1 - m Ѳ + Ѳ/2]= d tan [α1 - (1-2m) (d/ 2R sin1”) ]

QP1= d.sin ᵝ1- (1-2m) (d/ 2R sin1”)Cos ᵝ1 - (1 – m) - (d/ R sin1”)

Difference in elevation by Reciprocal :-
Reciprocal observation are generally made to eliminate the effect of refraction. in this method ,observation are made simultaneously from both station ( i.e P and Q )

Mr. .R.S. Sonawane DCE,BE(Civill),ME(Geotechnical Engg) ,AMIEI
Both α1 and β1 are the angle of depression ,the expression for H can be obtained by changing the sign of α1 .
