Tacheometry
Definition-It is the branch of angular surveying the
Horizontal distances from station to the staff and the
vertical distance of a point are determined from
instrumental observation
Horizontal distance

Situation where tacheometry can be used
• When obstacles like river, broken
ground,streches of water, tacheometry gives
speed & accuracy to work.
• In rough country where measurement of
horizontal & vertical distances are difficult,
inaccurate & slow.
• In locating contours & filling details in a
topographic survey, this method is fast & best.

Advantages of tacheometry
• Tacheometer is used where chaining is difficult such as river,
vally, broken boundries, stiff slope, undulations.
• It is used in the preparation of contour maps, in which
horizontal & vertical distances are required to be measured.
• It is used for the survey road, railway.
• It is also used for the hydrographic survey.
• It is used for checking distances measured by tape, chain &
dumpy level.
• It is used where accuracy is not required.
• It saves time & money.

Difference between theodolite and tacheometer

Theodolite Tacheometer
• It is used for measurement • It is used for measurement
of horizontal & vertical of horizontal & vertical
angle. distances.
• In theodolite survey , • In tacheomtric survey ,direct
distances are measured by measurement of distances
chain or tape. are possible.
• Suitable for plane & hilly • Suitable in case obstacles
area with less obstacles. like river broken ground.
• More stations are required • Less stations are required in
in theodolite survey. tacheometric survey.

Constants of Tacheometer
• Multiplying constant ie. (f/i) or m.
• Additive constant ie (f+c) or C.
Where f= focal length of image glass
c= legth of image

Object of tacheometry
• Preparation of contour maps or plans.
• Used in hydrographic survey.
• Location survey for roads,railways, reservoir
etc.
• For checking of more precise measurements.

Instrument used in Tacheometer
I) Tacheometer
II) Levelling or stadia rod
I)Tacheometer –It is a transit theodolite provided
with a stadia diaphragm.
• The diaphragm is provided with two horizontal
stadia hairs in addition to regular cross hair.
• Additional hair should be equidistant from central
one.
• Types of diaphragm commonly used as follows.

Types of Telescope in Tacheometry

• External focusing
• Internal focusing
• External focusing fitted with anallatic lens.

Anallatic lens -It is an additional lens generally
provided in the external focusing tacheometer
between object glass & eyepiece

Advantages of anallatic lens.
1) For calculation of horizontal & vertical
distances constant (f+c)=0, if tacheometer is
provided with anallatic lens.
2) Calculation becomes simple.

Essential characteristics of Tacheometer

• The value of constant (f/i)=100.
• The telescope should be provided with
anallatic lens.
• The telescope should be powerful,
magnification should be 20 to 30 times the
diameter.
• The vision through the telescope should be
clear & bright image at longer distance.

II)Levelling staff or stadia rod.

• Levelling staff or stadia rodused with
tacheometer may be usual type of levelling
staff.
• It may be folding or telescopic with is 5 cm to
15 cm. & height 3 m to 5 m.
• It may measure meter , decimeter &
centimeter.

Fixed Hair Method
• In this method, the distance between two stadia
hair is fixed.
• The reading corresponding to three cross hair is
taken and difference between top and bottom
hair is found out known as staff intercept.

Principle of stadia method
From similarity of triangle POQ & poq .
PR/pr =OQ/oq
S/i = f1/f2
By lens formula
1/f= (1/f1)+(1/f2)
Multyplying f1 to both side
f1×(1/f) = f1×(1/f1)+f1×(1/f2)
F1/f = 1+(f1/f2)
Put values of (f1/f2) = S/i
f1/f = 1+ (S/i )
(f1/f)-1 = S/i
(f1-f)/f = S/i
f1= S/i ×f+f eq 1
Now, D= f1+d or f1=D-d eq 2
Put values of equation 2 in 1
D-d = S/i×f+f
D=(f/i)×S+(f+d) eq 3
(f/i) =multiplying constant= m
(f+d)= additive constant =c
D= ms+ c

P, Q, R=Three line of sight on staff corresponding to three line.
P, q, r=the stadia hairs
O= optical center of object glass.
pr= i = stadia interval.
PR= s = staff intercept.
f = focal length of object glass.
f1 = horizontal distance between center of object glass to the
staff station.
f1 = horizontal distance of diaphragm from ‘o’
D= horizontal distance of staff station from vertical axis of
taceometer.
d= horizontal distance between vertical axis of tacheometer &
center bof object glass.

Fixed Hair Method
There are three different cases used.
Case I): Line of sight is horizontal and the staff held is
vertical.
Case II): Line of sight is inclined and the staff held is
vertical.
Case III): Line of sight is inclined and the staff held is
normal to the line of sight.

Case I): Line of sight is horizontal and
the staff held is vertical.

Case II): Line of sight is inclined and
the staff held is vertical.

Vertical Distance V=(f/i)S Sin2θ+ (f+c) Sinθ
2
Horizontal Distance D =(f/i)S Cos2θ+ (f+c) Cosθ
Where, θ is angle between horizontal line of sight &
central reading0
