This document provides information on theodolite surveying. It discusses how to measure the magnetic bearing of a line, prolong and range a line, measure deflection angles, vertical angles, and includes steps for closed and open traverse surveys using the included angle and deflection angle methods. It also covers topics like observation tables, consecutive and independent coordinates, and balancing a traverse using Bowditch's rule and the transit rule.
This document discusses theodolite surveying. It defines a theodolite as an instrument used to accurately measure horizontal and vertical angles. The document outlines the components of a theodolite and different types including transit, non-transit, vernier, micrometer, digital/electronic, and optic theodolites. It also defines various technical terms used in theodolite surveying such as swinging, transiting, face left, face right, and changing face. The main uses and functions of a theodolite are to measure horizontal and vertical angles, magnetic bearings, deflection angles, horizontal distances, and elevations.
Curves are used in transportation routes to gradually change direction between straight segments. There are several types of curves including simple, compound, reverse, and transition curves. A simple circular curve connects two tangents with a single arc, and is defined by its radius or degree. Transition curves provide a gradual transition between tangents and circular curves to avoid abrupt changes in grade or superelevation that could cause vehicles to overturn. There are several methods for laying out circular curves, including using offset distances from the long chord between tangent points or measuring deflection angles from the initial tangent.
Traverse surveying involves using instruments to measure distance and direction to create a network of points. There are two main types of traverses - open and closed. Open traverses extend in one direction while closed traverses form a closed loop. Common surveying instruments and methods used in traverse surveying include chain, compass, theodolite, and plane table. Key terms in traverse surveying include bearings, meridians, and reductions of bearings. Traverse calculations involve adjusting angles or directions to ensure closure of the network of points. Sample problems are provided to demonstrate conversions between whole circle bearings, reduced bearings, and fore and back bearings.
The document provides information about theodolite surveying including:
1. A theodolite is an instrument used to measure horizontal and vertical angles which can also be used to prolong lines, measure distances indirectly, and for leveling.
2. Theodolite traversing involves establishing control points by measuring angles and distances between traverse stations to calculate positions.
3. Components of a theodolite include a telescope that can rotate vertically and a compass to determine direction, along with accessories like a tripod, rods, and tapes used in surveying.
This document describes three methods for measuring horizontal angles with a theodolite:
1) Ordinary Method: A horizontal angle is measured between points A and B by sighting each point and recording the vernier readings. The process is repeated by changing instrument faces and the average of readings gives the angle.
2) Repetition Method: A more accurate method where the angle is mechanically added several times by repeatedly sighting point A after sighting B.
3) Reiteration Method: Several angles are measured successively at a station, closing the horizon by resighting the initial point. Any error is distributed among the measured angles.
This document discusses different methods for balancing a closed traverse survey by distributing corrections to station coordinates. It provides examples of using Bowditch's Rule, the Transit Rule, and the Third Rule to balance a sample traverse with given length, latitude, and departure coordinates. Bowditch's Rule distributes corrections proportionally to leg lengths, while the Transit Rule uses angular precision assumptions and the Third Rule separates corrections between northings/southings and eastings/westings.

This document discusses methods for setting out simple circular curves in surveying. There are two main methods: linear and angular.
The linear method uses only a tape or chain and does not require angle measurement. It includes setting out curves by offsets from the long chord, by successive bisection of arcs, and by offsets from the tangents.
The angular method is used for longer curves and involves measuring deflection angles. It includes Rankine's method of tangential angles using a tape and theodolite to measure deflection angles from the back tangent to points on the curve. The two theodolite method also uses angle measurement between two theodolites.
The theodolite is an instrument used to measure horizontal and vertical angles that is more precise than a magnetic compass. It can measure angles to an accuracy of 10-20 seconds whereas a compass is only accurate to 30 minutes. The theodolite is used to measure horizontal and vertical angles when objects are at a distance or elevation where more precise measurements are needed. The method of surveying that uses a theodolite to measure angles is called theodolite surveying. The theodolite can be used to measure angles, bearings, distances, elevations, set out curves, and for mapping and construction applications.
This document discusses the use of a theodolite for surveying. It begins by explaining that a theodolite is needed to precisely measure horizontal and vertical angles, unlike a compass. It then defines theodolite surveying as surveying that measures angles using a theodolite. The document goes on to classify theodolites based on their horizontal axis and method of angle measurement. It describes the basic parts of a transit vernier theodolite and explains terms used in manipulating one. Finally, it discusses methods for measuring horizontal angles, including the general, repetition, and reiteration methods.

Theodolite traversing is used for area computation, surveying, data reduction, and indirect measurement of elevations, distances, and
The document provides information about theodolites. It begins with an introduction stating that a theodolite is used to measure horizontal and vertical angles more precisely than a magnetic compass. It then discusses the main parts of a theodolite including the horizontal circle, vertical circle, telescope, and levels.

Finally, it discusses the permanent and temporary adjustments needed to ensure accurate theodolite measurements.
Tacheometric surveying is a method of surveying that determines horizontal and vertical distances optically rather than through direct measurement with a tape or chain. It uses an instrument called a tacheometer fitted with a stadia diaphragm to rapidly measure distances. The key principles are that the ratio of perpendicular to base is constant in similar triangles, allowing horizontal distance and elevation to be calculated from observed angles and staff intercept readings. Common tacheometric systems include fixed hair stadia, subtense stadia, and tangential methods. Distance and elevation formulas are derived for horizontal, inclined, and depressed line of sights depending on staff orientation. Tacheometric surveying is well-suited for difficult terrain where direct measurement is challenging

Tacheometric surveying uses a tacheometer to determine horizontal and vertical distances through angular measurements. A tacheometer is a theodolite fitted with stadia hairs and an anallatic lens. The tacheometric formula relates the staff intercept, focal length, stadia interval and additive constant to calculate horizontal distances. Methods include stadia, fixed/movable hair, and non-stadia techniques. Determining the tacheometer constant involves measuring distances and staff intervals at stations to solve equations. Errors arise from incorrect stadia intervals or graduations. Tacheometric surveying provides distances in rough terrain but with less precision than other methods.

It describes how a theodolite can be used to measure horizontal and vertical angles, determine magnetic bearings, prolong survey lines, and conduct traverses. Key uses include measuring angles between points, determining elevations, setting horizontal lines, and establishing grades. A theodolite is a precise surveying instrument useful for laying out surveys, locating points, and establishing curves in mine sites.
Tacheometry is a surveying method that uses optical instruments like a theodolite fitted with a stadia diaphragm to measure horizontal and vertical distances between points. It works on the principle that the ratio of distance from the instrument to the base of an isosceles triangle and the length of the base is constant. Distances are calculated using stadia intercept readings and multiplying constants based on the focal length of the instrument's objective lens. Tacheometry offers faster measurement compared to traditional chaining and is useful for surveys in difficult terrain like rivers, valleys, or undulating ground where conventional surveying would be inaccurate or slow.
This document discusses concepts and methods in surveying and leveling. It defines surveying as determining the relative positions of objects by measuring horizontal distances. It also defines key surveying techniques like linear measurement using tapes, chains and ranging rods. Common errors in linear measurement are also discussed. Methods for leveling include direct, indirect, stadia and barometric leveling. The document explains concepts like bench marks, reduced levels and datums used for leveling. It also describes the basic components and adjustments of a leveling instrument and the height of instrument and rise-fall methods for obtaining point elevations.
1. Angles are usually measured in surveying to determine the positions of points on Earth's surface. Vertical angles are measured between lines of sight in a vertical plane, and can be angles of elevation or depression. Horizontal angles include interior, exterior, and deflection angles.
2. The direction of a line can be described by its azimuth angle or bearing. Azimuths are clockwise angles between the line and a reference direction, usually north. Bearings specify the angle from north or south plus the east or west designation.
3. To determine the back azimuth or bearing of a line, add or subtract 180 degrees to the forward azimuth, or reverse the letters for the bearing. Consistency in designating forward

The group adjusted their results based on the Compass Rule correction and achieved an accuracy of 1:1088 for the closed traverse. They discussed lessons learned from conducting the fieldwork.
Plane table surveying involves using a plane table, alidade, and other instruments to take field measurements and plot a map. Key principles include maintaining parallelism between lines of sight on the ground and plane table. Common methods are radiation, intersection, traversing, and resection. Sources of error include imperfect instruments, sighting errors, and plotting mistakes. While less accurate than a theodolite, plane table surveying allows mapping in the field with moderate accuracy for small to medium scale maps.
This document discusses triangulation survey methods. Triangulation uses a network of triangles to determine coordinate positions of survey points. It is preferred for hilly areas where stations can be clearly visible from each other. The key steps are:
1) Establishing a baseline between two points with known coordinates
2) Measuring horizontal angles at stations to other points
3) Using trigonometry to calculate lengths of triangle sides and coordinate positions of additional points
4) Adjusting measurements and computations to minimize errors
Triangulation provides control points for detailed surveys and is suitable for engineering projects over large areas. Resection and intersection methods are discussed to compute point positions from angle and distance measurements.
Triangulation is a surveying method that uses triangles to determine locations of points. It involves establishing a network of triangles connecting known points, then measuring angles and lengths within the triangles. Key steps include selecting station locations with good intervisibility, measuring baselines and angles, computing lengths and positions using trigonometry, and establishing additional points through intersection or resection. Modern trilateration uses distance measurements instead of angles to speed up the process and improve accuracy when using electronic distance measurement.

Rail transport is one of the important modes of transport in India. Now a days we
see that there are railways that are present for the long as well as short distance
travelling which makes the life of the people easier. When compared to other
means of transport, a railway is the cheapest means of transport. The maintenance
of the railway database also plays a major role in the smooth running of this
system. The Online Train Ticket Management System will help in reserving the
tickets of the railways to travel from a particular source to the destination.

37. The term balancing is generally applied to the
operation of applying corrections to latitudes and
departures so that algebraic sum of latitudes and
that of departures will be zero. This applies only
when the survey forms a closed polygon.
Balancing the traverse
39. Bowditch’s rule
The basis of this method is on the assumptions that the
errors in linear measurements are proportional to the length
of the line
The rule, also termed as the compass rule, is used to
balance the traverse when the angular and linear
measurements are equally precise.
By this rule, the total error in latitude and in departure is
distributed in proportion to the lengths of the sides.
40. Bowditch’s rule
This rule is most commonly used in traverse adjustment.
Correction to latitude = total error in latitude x ( length of
that side/ perimeter of traverse ).
Correction to departure = total error in departure x ( length
of that side/ perimeter of traverse )
If error is negative then correction is positive and vice versa.
6) After applying correction summation all latitudes and
departures must be zero.
41. Transit rule
The transit rule may be employed where angular
measurements are more precise than the linear
measurements.
According to this rule, the total error in latitudes and in
departures is distributed in proportion to the latitudes and
departures of the sides.
It is claimed that the angles are less affected by
corrections applied by transit method than by those by
Bowditch's method.
42. Transit rule
The transit rule is
Correction to latitude of any side
= Total error in latitude ×Latitude of that side/ Arithmetic
sum of Latitudes
Correction to departure of any side
= Total error in departure × Departure of that side/
Arithmetic sum of Departures
