Stadia Tacheometric Survey

Stadia tacheometric survey is a branch of surveying in

which horizontal and vertical distance of points are
obtained by optical measurement avoiding ordinary
and slower process of measurement by tape.

Stadia Tacheometric Survey

In stadia tacheometric survey, the line of sight may

be kept:
a) Horizontal, or
b) Inclined
depending upon the field conditions.

Stadia Tacheometric Survey

Problem: A tacheometer is set up at a distance of 194.20 m from the stadia

rod. With a horizontal line of sight, the stadia intercept was recorded to be
1.94 m. If the stadia constant is 0.30, find the stadia interval factor.

Stadia Tacheometric Survey

Problem: A stadia intercept of 3.60 m was measured on a stadia rod by a

transit with stadia constant and stadia interval factor of 0.30 m and 100,
respectively. If the line of sight was inclined at an angle of 3ᴼ30’ with the
horizontal, determine the horizontal distance from the transit to the rod.
