Sum 13.68 13.70

Sum (B.S)- Sum (F.S) = 13.68- 13.70 = -0.02

Elev B.M. 1 (calc) - Elev. B.M.1 (given) = 99.98- 100.00 = -0.02
Check: Sum (B.S)-Sum(F.S)= Elev B.M.1 (calc) - Elev B.M. 1 (given) differences are
equal, therefore the checks.
Accuracy of the work = error = Elev B.M.1 (given)- Elev B.M. 1 (calc) = 100.00-99.98 =
0.02
Allowable error = 0.007 [ length of traverse,ft/100]**½ length o traverse, ft = 4 + 10 =
410 ft
Allowable error = (0.007)[410 ft/100]**½ = 0.014
Therefore, the survey is not within reasonable accuracy because calculated error exceeds
allowable error.
