3. COMPASS SURVEY
OBJECT: Study of Prismatic Compass & to determine
fore and back bearing of survey line AB, BC, CA
Included Angles.
INSTRUMENTS: Tripod, Prismatic Compass, Ranging rods, Measuring Tapes,
Wooden Pegs, Hammer.
THEORY:
Fore Bearing: The bearing of a line measured in the direction of progress of
survey is called fore bearing.
Back Bearing: The bearing of a line measured in the opposite direction of
progress of survey is called fore bearing.
PROCEDURE:
TEMPORARY ADJUSTMENTS OF A PRISMATIC COMPASS
The Prismatic Compass is set up at a point say station A.
The following temporary adjustments are needed to be carried out at each set
Up of Instrument
Centering: Centering is the process of keeping the instrument exactly over
the station. It is carried out by dropping a piece of stone so that it falls on the
top of the pegs fixed at station point.
Leveling: Prismatic compass is leveled by means of ball and socket
arrangement so that the graduated ring may swing freely.

Focusing the prism: The reflecting prism is adjusted to the eye sight of the
observer by rising or lowering then stud until the graduations are seen sharp
and clear.
CALCULATION OF FORE AND BACK BEARING
Suppose the bearing of line AB, BC, CA of a triangle is to be observed. Set
up the instrument at station A and carry out all the temporary adjustments.
Fix the ranging rod at B.
Turn the prismatic compass until the ranging rod at station B is bisected by
the horse hair when seen through the vertical slit above the prism.
When the needle comes to rest bisect ranging rod at B exactly and note the
reading. The reading observed is the Fore bearing of line AB i.e. Angle
measured with respect to north.
Now shift the prismatic compass at station B perform all temporary
adjustments and from station B bisect station A towards backward, the
reading observed in prismatic compass is the Back Bearing of line AB.
Now from the same setup of the instrument Bisect station C and note down
the reading of prismatic compass as fore bearing of line BC. Transfer the
instrument to station C to obtain back bearing of line BC. Similarly observe
Fore Bearing and back bearing of line CA.
Check the Difference of Fore bearing and back bearing of each line it should
be equal to 1800

4. SIMPLE LEVELLING
OBJECT: To find reduced level of various points by simple leveling.
INSTRUMENT: Dumpy level, Tripod, leveling staff, pegs, Hammer
PROCEDURE:
Simple leveling: - It is the simplest method of leveling used, when it is required
to find the difference in elevation between 2 points.
TEMPORARY ADJUSTMENT OF DUMPY LEVEL:
The Dumpy Level is fixed on the tripod at station say O.
Setting up the level
The tripod legs are adjusted at a convenient height. Any two legs of
the tripod are fixed on the ground by pressing the tripod into the
ground. The movement of the third leg is made in such a way that the
bubble remains in the center.
Leveling
The actual leveling is then done by moving foot screw on the leveling
head. Instrument s telescope is kept Parallel to two foot screws and
both the foot screws are either moved inward or outward till the
longitudinal bubbles is in the centre of its run.
The telescope is then turned through 900 so that the telescope is now
parallel to third foot screw. Now move third screw inward or outward
till bubble is in center. Then the telescope is brought in its original
position.
The procedure is carried out till the bubble remains in the center in
both the position.

Removal of parallax
Focusing the eye piece
To focus so that the cross hairs for distinct vision hold a sheet of
white paper in front of objective glass, and move the eye piece till the
image of cross hair are seen distinct and sharp.
Focusing of objective glass
The telescope is then directed towards the staff held vertically at
bench mark (B.M.) say station A and by turning the focusing screw.
Parallax is removed by moving focusing screw till the image of staff
is seen distinct and clear.
HEIGHT OF INSTRUMENT METHOD
In this method the height of instrument is calculated for each setting
by adding Back sight to the elevation of bench mark i.e. = Reduced
Level (R.L.) of B.M. + B.S.
The R.L. of Intermediate points is calculated by subtracting the HI- IS
(Intermediate sight).
The process is continued till the R.L. of last point is obtained by
subtracting the staff reading from height of last setting of instrument.
i.e. HI FS

5. DIFFERENTIAL LEVELLING
OBJECT: To find difference of elevation between two points (too far away) by
differential leveling.
INSTRUMENTS: Dumpy Level, tripod, Leveling staff, pegs, etc.
PROCEDURE:
The Operation of leveling to determine the elevation of points at some
distance apart is called differential leveling. When two points are at such a
distance from each other that they cannot both be within range of the level at
the same time, the difference in elevation is not found by single setting but
the distance between the points is divided in stages by change points on
which the staff is held and the difference of elevation of each of succeeding
pair of such change points is found by separate setting up of the level.
TEMPORARY ADJUSTMENT OF DUMPY LEVEL:
The Dumpy Level is fixed on the tripod at station say O.
Setting up the level
The tripod legs are adjusted at a convenient height. Any two legs of the
tripod are fixed on the ground by pressing the tripod into the ground. The
movement of the third leg is made in such a way that the bubble remains in
the center.

HEIGHT OF INSTRUMENT METHOD:
In this method the height of instrument is calculated for each setting by
adding Back sight to the elevation of bench mark i.e. = Reduced Level (R.L.)
of B.M. + B.S.
The R.L. of Intermediate points is calculated by subtracting the HI- IS
(Intermediate sight).
The elevation of change points (CP) is calculated by subtracting the HI- FS
(Fore sight).
For next setting of the instrument, the H.I. is obtained by adding the B.S and
R.L. of change point i.e. BS + RL (CP)
The process is continued till the R.L. of last point is obtained by subtracting
the staff reading from height of last setting of instrument. i.e. HI FS
Apply the arithmetic check to verify the calculation by height of Instrument

6. STUDY OF THEODOLITE
OBJECT: To Study different components of Theodolite
INSTRUMENT: Theodolite
THEORY: The theodolite is an instrument designed for the measurement of
horizontal and vertical angles. Theodolite is the most precise instrument; it is also
used for laying off horizontal angles, locating points on the line, prolonging the
survey lines, establishing grades, determination of difference of elevation setting
out curves, observation of bearings etc.
TYPES OF THEODOLITE
The theodolites may be primarily of two types:
Transit Theodolite
Non Transit Theodolite
In a transit theodolite the telescope can be revolved through a complete
revolution about its horizontal axis in a vertical plane.
In non transit theodolite, the telescope is mounted in such a manner that the
line of sight cannot be reversed by revolving the telescope.

7. STUDY OF PLANIMETER
OBJECT: To Study Planimeter and to find constants of the Planimeter.
THEORY: A Planimeter is used by engineers for measuring area of any figure which
has been plotted to scale particularly when the boundaries are irregular or
curved. Planimeter is largely used for finding the area of contours in
determining the capacity of storage reservoirs.
CONSTRUCTION OF PLANIMETER:
The Planimeter consists of two arms, the tracing arm and anchor arm. The
tracing arm is of adjustable length and has a tracing point which is moved
round the periphery of the area to be measured.
The amount by which tracing arm is moved is known on the wheel or roller
which has its axis parallel to the tracing arm. The wheel has a roller divided
into 100 equal parts and 1/100th of drum division is read from the vernier
having graduations from 0 to 9. The complete revolution of the wheel is
recorded from 0 to 9. While taking the reading on the planimeter, the reading
will be in 4 digits. Let the reading be 4.375
The 1st digit (4) is read on the disc.
The second digit (3) is read on the rolling wheel (main scale).
The third digit (7) is read on the rolling wheel (main scale).
And the last digit (5) is read on the vernier scale besides the main scale of
rolling wheel.
Setting of tracing arm: The setting arm has calibrations on it and which
facilitates the setting of tracing arm to given scale of the plan or map.
PAGE NO:
DATE:
The adjustment which is to be made on the tracing arm as per scale of figure
is given by the manufacturer. The multiplying and additive constants are
also provided by manufacturer.
While rotating the tracing arm round the periphery of the plan, the anchor
point may be kept inside or outside the plan depending on the size of the
figure. For large area the anchor arm is kept inside the figure for small area
the anchor arm is placed outside the area.
PROCEDURE:
Make the adjustments of the tracing arm as per scale of the plan.
The anchor is placed inside or outside of figure such that the tracing point
can be conveniently moved on the periphery of the plan.
Any point on the periphery of the plan can be taken as the starting point and
from where the tracing point moves along the periphery and closes back.
Before the start of tracing work the initial reading (I.R) is recorded and the
final reading (F.R) at the end of tracing is noted down.
While moving the tracing point around the periphery it is necessary to note
down the number of times the zero of the counting disc has passed the fixed
index mark in clock wise (+ve) and anticlockwise (-ve) directions
Compute the area by using the formula:
A=M (F.R I.R 10 N +C)
PAGE NO:

Where,
A= Area of the plan to be computed.
M=Multiplying constant.
F.R= Final reading on the disc.
I.R=Initial reading on the disc.
N= No of times the zero mark of the dial or disc crosses the
fixed index mark .Positive sign should be used if in
clockwise and negative sign if it crosses in anticlockwise
direction.
C= Constant to be added if the anchor point is inside the plan of
figure.
C=0, if the anchor point is outside the figure.
