b) Explain the procedure for profile levelling and cross Sectioning
Ans. For Profile levelling:
1 Mark
1) Let PQR be the given centre line.

2) Mark point at 10 m intervals on this line.
3) Level is set up on a firm ground at a suitable point I1.
4) Temporary adjustment of level is done and B.S. is taken on B.M.
5) The RL of collimation (HI) is worked out by adding B.S. to the R.L. of B.M.
The chain is stretched from P toward the point Q.
6) Also, the staff readings are taken at 10 m points, and entered in the I.S column
against the respective changes. 1 Mark
7) Beside these points, the staff readings are taken at the representative points. for
example slope of ground surface changes appreciably.
8) When it is found necessary to shift the instruments on account of the length of
sight exceeding about 100 m or the further points not being possible to be observed
owing to the irregularities of the ground, CP1 is taken at suitable position, and F.S is
taken on it and entered in F.S column.
9) The instrument is then shifted and set up on firm ground at I2 as before.
10) B.S is taken on CP1 and new HI is calculated.
For cross Sectioning:

While profile leveling is in progress, cross-sectional leveling should also be done.
The cross-sections are taken perpendicular to the Centre line of the alignment at 1 Mark
some regular intervals (say 20m, 40m etc). The purpose of cross-sectional leveling
is to know the undulation of the ground surface transverse to the centre of the road.
10 | 2 0 Winter 2019 22205- BSU

The length depends upon the nature of the work. In case of ordinary work, the
length may be 20 or 40 m on each side of the center line. The levels are taken at an
interval of 5 m on each side. Additional readings may be taken if the nature of the
ground surfaces suddenly changes.

d. Adjust the height of the instrument so that the observer can comfortably see
through the telescope and note the readings.
e. Fix two legs of tripod and adjust third leg in such a way that the levelling head
will become as horizontal as possible by eye judgment.
2. Levelling up the level.
a. The base of the tripod is already leveled with the help of cross bubble.
b. To make accurate adjustment of the level, the longitudinal level is adjusted in the
centre of its run, with the help of three foot screws.
c. Make the bubble parallel to the any selected pair of foot screws. Now; turn both 1 Mark
the foot screws either inward or outward with the help of foot screws till the bubble
appears in the center.

b. Turn the eye piece inwards or outwards in the socket so that the cross hair on the
diaphragm appears sharp and clear.
4. Focusing the Object glass.
a. Direct the telescope towards any object, say a levelling staff in the field which is
kept at a distance. See through eyepiece whether the staff is visible, distinct or not.
1 Mark
b. If not, then turn the focusing screw till the image is distinct and clear. The cross
hair on the diaphragm should also be seen clearly.
d) Explain Fly levelling and also state its purpose.
Ans. Procedure:
1. Set up the level at a point from where BM is visible and perform temporary

correct i.e.3300 15’
Hence, corrected B.B of EA = 3300 15’ – 1800 = 1500 15’
Correction at A = 1500 15’ - 1470 45’ = + 20 30’ 4M
Corrected F.B of AB = 1910 45’ + 20 30’ = 1940 15’
Corrected B.B of AB = 1940 15’ - 1800 = 140 15’
Correction at B = 140 15’ - 130 0’ = + 10 15’
Corrected F.B of BC = 390 30’ + 10 15’ = 400 45’
Corrected B.B of BC = 400 45’ + 1800 = 2200 45’
Correction at C = 2200 45’- 2220 30’ = - 10 45’
Corrected F.B of CD = 220 15’ - 10 45’ = 200 30’ and
Therefore the B.B of CD must be 200 30’ + 1800 = 2000 30’, which agrees with the back bearing
of CD observed at a station D, which is free from local attraction and hence it is verified.

The difference of level between the two consecutive readings is found by comparing the staff 1M
Ans:
readings i.e. 2.228 and 1.606.
The second point is lower than first by 2.228 – 1.606 = 0.622. It indicates rise which is to be added in
previous R.L. i.e. 432.384
Hence R.L at station no. 2 = R.L of A + Rise = 432.384 + 0.622
= 433.384
Similarly, by adding rise from and deducting fall to the preceding R.L, the R.Ls of remaining

Q.6 Attempt any TWO of the following : 12M
List any four methods of plotting a compass traverse survey & explain any one in brief. Also
a) 6M
state the meaning of adjustment of closing error of traverse.
Ans:
Methods of plotting compass traverse are:
1. By parallel meridian through each station. 2M(Any
2. By included angle. four)
3. By paper protractor.
4. By rectangular co-ordinates.
5. Plotting by tangents.
(1) By Parallel Meridians through each station:
(Fig.4.20) Having fixed the position of the starting station A suitably on the paper, a line representing
the magnetic meridian is drawn through it.
The bearing of the line AB is plotted with an ordinary protractor and its length is marked off with the 2M ( for
scale, thus fixing the position of the station B. any 1 of
Through B a meridian is drawn, the bearing of BC is set off and its length measured off with the the
scale. The process is repeated at each station until all the lines are drawn. method)
If the traverse is a closed one, the last line should end on the starting station A; if it does not, the
discrepancy is referred to as the “closing error".
(2) By Included Angles:
Fig.4.21) In this method the meridian is drawn through the starting point A and the bearing of the
line AB plotted and its length laid off with the scale, thus fixing the point B.
At B the included angle ABC as calculated, from the bearings of AB and BC, is plotted with a
Page 13 of 19
(Autonomous)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
protractor and the length of BC is measured off with the scale. The operation is repeated at each of
the succeeding stations.
(3) By Paper Protractor:

(Fig.4.22). This method consists of plotting the bearings of all the lines at any point in the centre of
the paper with reference to the meridian by using a large circular paper protractor, and then
transferring these directions to their proper positions by drawing parallel lines with the help of a
parallel ruler.
Having marked the point O in the centre of the paper, draw a line through O to represent the
meridian. Place the protractor with the 0 and 180° graduations coinciding with the line. At O plot the
bearings of all the lines with reference to the meridian.
Having settled the position of the starting point A, draw a line AB through it parallel to its bearing
marked at O with the help of a parallel ruler and measure its length with the scale, thus fixing the
point B as in fig.4.23. Proceed similarly until all the lines are drawn. This method is a compass
traverse.
(4) By Rectangular Co-ordinates:

(Fig.4.24) In this method each of the points of the traverse is plotted by its co-ordinates with
reference to two lines drawn through some Convenient point at right angles to each other.
These lines are known as the axes of co-ordinates and their point of intersection is called the origin of
co-ordinates. One of the axes OX called the X-axis represents the north and south line, (true,
magnetic or arbitrary) and the other OY known as the Y-axis is a line at right angles there to, and
represents the east and west line. Any point may be plotted by measuring with a scale X or Y co-
Page 14 of 19
(Autonomous)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
ordinate along the X or Y axis and laying off the other co-ordinate on the line drawn at right angles at
this point. The advantage of this method is that each point is plotted independently with reference to
the meridian and the line at right angles to it through a common origin and not with regard to the
preceding one. Consequently, if any point is wrongly plotted, the position of any of the succeeding
points is not thereby affected.
The errors of plotting cannot, therefore, accumulate. Also the position of each point can be checked
by scaling the distance between the point and the preceding one and by comparing it with the length
measured in the field.
(5) Plotting by Tangents:

In this method the angles between the various lines are plotted by geometrical construction with the
help of a table of natural tangents. Having fixed the position of the starting point, a line representing
the meridian is drawn through it (always pointing to the top of the paper) as in fig.4.25. To plot the
bearing of the first line AB, a length ABI of 20 cm is marked off on the meridian the bearing of the
line AB (cm) is then laid off on this perpendicular. The line joining the points A and B2 determines
the direction of the first line AB. On this line is scaled off the length of AB, thus fixing the position
of the point B. The line AB is then produced to C1 making BC1 equal to 20 cm. At C1 a
perpendicular is erected and the distance C1 and C2 equal 20 X tangent of deflection angle at B (cm)
is scaled off on the perpendicular .The line connecting the points B and C2 gives the direction of the
line BC. To mark the point C, the length of BC is marked off with the scale on BC2. Other lines are
similarly plotted, marked of with the scale on BC2. Other lines are similarly plotted. If there is no
room for a 20 cm base, a shorter base of 10 cm may be used.

Adjustment of closing error of traverse:

2M
Explanation :
1. To distribute the closing error AA1 (Fig. a), draw one horizontal line of length equal to perimeter
of traverse with some reduced scale.
2. Now mark the survey stations on it proportionally (Fig. b) and transfer closing error of same length
using roller scale to point a.
3. Join the point A and A1 with straight line. Also draw parallel lines at point b, c, d and e.
4. Transfer B1b, C1c, D1d and E1e to point B1, C1, D1 and E1 respectively in compass traverse.
5. Finally join new points to get corrected traverse ABCDEA after graphical adjustment of closing
error.

7. 1.690 X 0.340
8. 2.865 2.100 X
9. X X 233.425 BM 3
Ans: The fore sight of station No.2 is missing.

Difference of station 1 and 2.
station 1 is higher than station 2 by 0.020
Hence, missing reading at station = 2.285 - 0.020 = 2.265
R.L at station 2 = 232.460 + 0.020 = 232.480
Fall at station 3 is missing. It is the difference of staff reading on station 2 and station 3
= 1.650 – 2.105 = 0.455
The rise of station 4 = 2.105 – 1.960 = 0.145
Similarly, the B.S reading of station 4 is found from the fall of station 5
= 1.925 - 0.300 = 1.625
The RLs of station 1 to 5 can now be worked out as all the readings upto station 5 are 3M
available.
missing Rise of station 6 = 232.255 – 231.870 = 0.385
Hence missing IS of station 6 = 2.050 – 0.385 = 1.665
F.S of station 7 = 1.665 – 0.340 = 1.325
Fall at station 8 = 1.690 – 2.100 = 0.410
The RLs of station 6 to 8 can now be worked out.
Hence, Rise at station 9 = 233.425 – 232.185 = 1.240
Similarly, F.S at station 9 = 2.865 – 1.240 = 1.625
Thus, all the missing readings are worked out and RLs are calculated.
The results are entered in the following table –
The readings which were missing are bold :

Arithmetic Check:

Therefore, 12.165 – 11.200 = 2.130 – 1.165 = 233.425 – 232.460
0.965 = 0.965 = 0.965

Attempt any THREE of the following: (12)
a) Explain the principles of surveying.
Ans. Principle of surveying are as follows:
i. To work from whole to part.
According to the first principle, the whole area is first enclosed by

main stations and main survey lines as shown in figure above. The
area is then divided into a number of parts by forming well- 2
conditioned triangles. A nearly equilateral triangle is considered to be
the best well-conditioned triangle.
The main survey lines are measured very accurately with a standard
chain. The sides of triangles are measured. The purpose of this process
of working is to prevent accumulation of error.
ii. To locate a new station by at least two measurement from fixed

reference points.
4
2
The new stations should always be fixed by at least two measurements
from fixed reference points. Linear measurements refer to horizontal
distance measured by chain or tape. Angular measurements refer to
the magnetic bearing or horizontal angle taken by a prismatic compass
or theodolite. The new station or ground point is located using linear
measurement or angular measurement or both measurements.

Q. 4 Attempt any THREE of the following: ( 12)
a) Explain Types of bench marks.
Ans. (a) GTS Bench-Marks - These bench-marks are established by the
Survey of India Department at large intervals all over the country. The
values of reduced levels, the relevant positions and the number of 1
bench-marks are given in a catalogue published by this department.
(b) Permanent Bench-Marks - These are fixed points or marks
established by different Government departments like PWD,
Railways, Irrigation, etc. The RLs of these points are determined with
reference to the GTS bench-mark, and are kept on permanent points 1
like the plinth of a building, parapet of a bridge or culvert and so on. 4
Sometimes they are kept on underground pillars.
(c) Arbitrary Bench-Marks - When the RLs of some fixed points are
assumed. They are termed arbitrary bench-marks. These are adopted
in small survey operations when only the undulation of the ground
surface is required to be determined. 1
(d) Temporary Bench-Marks - When the bench-marks are
established temporarily at the end of a day's work, they are said to be
temporary bench-marks They are generally made on the root of a tree,
the parapet of a nearby culvert, a furlong post, or on a similar place. 1
b) State any eight component parts with its functions of dumpy level.
Ans. i. Levelling head ( Trivet ) – To support foot screws
ii. Foot screw – To regulate the tribrach position and hence the
instrument can be leveled.
iii. Tribrach – To support trivet and foot screw, the horizontal
level of the instrument can be achieved by adjusting this
tribrach plate.
iv. Circular compass – For taking magnetic bearing of line when
required.
v. Telescope – To bisect the object appropriately or to observe
the distant object through line of sight provided by its
arrangement.
vi. Eyepiece – To view the distant object. It contains magnifying
glass which magnify the observing image and also the cross ½
hairs of diaphragm. So, accurate reading can be obtained. Mark
vii. Focusing screw –To adjust and focus cross hairs and the each 4
image clearly. The magnification of eye piece is managed by
this focusing screw. (any
viii. Diaphragm - It contains cross hairs made of dark metal which eight)
are arranged in perfect perpendicular positions. These cross
hairs are used by the eye piece to bisect the objective through
objective lens.

Q. 4 c) State the methods of contouring and explain any one in detail.
Ans. Methods of locating contours :-
1) Direct method
2) Indirect method
i. Method of Squares (Block Contouring)
ii. Method of cross section 2
iii. Plane table method
iv. Tachometric Method
1) Direct Method
The field work in contouring consists of horizontal and vertical
control. The horizontal control for a small area can be exercised by a
chain or tape and by compass, theodolite or plane table for a large
area. For vertical control either a level and staff or a hand level may be
used.
By Level and Staff - The method consists of locating a series of
points on the ground having the same elevation. To do this an
instrument ground station is selected so that it commands a view of
most of the area to be surveyed. The height of the instrument is fixed
from the nearest benchmark. For a particular contour value, the staff
reading is worked out. The staff man is then directed to move right or
left along the expected contour until the required reading is observed. 4
A series of points having the same staff readings and thus the same
elevations, are plotted and joined by a smooth curve.
By Hand Level
The principle used is the same as that used in the method using level
and staff. However, this method is very rapid and is preferred for
certain works. The instruments used are a hand level, giving an 2
indication of the horizontal line from the eye of the observer and a Mark
level staff or a pole having a zero mark at the height of the observer's (any
eye and graduated up and down from this point. Instead of the hand one )
level, an Abney level may also be used. When an observation is made
on the pole, the reading on it is the difference in elevation between the
foot of the observer and that of the pole. In this method, the
instrument man stands over the benchmark and the staff man is moved
near to a point on the contour which has to be plotted. As soon as the
instrument man observes the required staff reading for a particular
contour, he instruct the staff man to stop and locate the position of the
point to be mapped. Reading for a particular contour, he instructs the
staff man to stop and locates the Position of the point to be mapped
point on as the instrument man.
2) Indirect Methods
i. Method of Squares or block contouring - This is also called
coordinate method of locating contours. The entire area is divided
into squares or rectangles forming a grid. The elevations of the
corners are then determined by spirit levelling. Thereafter levels are
interpolated. This method is very suitable for a small open area
where contours are required at a close vertical interval.
( Note : Any one from direct or Indirect method should be consider.)

Ans. The procedure of measurement of an area using digital planimeter is
as follows:
i. Take the area on the plane surface of table and fix it with clips so
that while measurement it does not move.
ii. Start the planimeter by pressing on button on key pad of it. Screen

iii. Set the scale by pressing scale button on key pad. 4 4
iv. Mark one starting point on boundary of that area and place the
point of magnifier of tracing arm of digital planimeter.
v. Press the start button and move tracing arm on boundary of area
and end it again at its starting point. Press the end button.
vi. The area of given figure is displayed in digital display of digital
planimeter.
Explain the procedure of computing the volume of reservoir from

e) any contour map.
Ans. Reservoirs are made for water supply and for power or irrigation
projects. A contour map is very useful to study the possible location of
a dam and the volume of water to be confined. All the contours are 2
closed lines within the reservoir area.
The areas A1, A2, A3…..An between successive contour lines can
be determined by a planimeter and if h is the contour interval, the
capacity of the reservoir can be estimated by the application of either
the trapezoidal or the prismoidal formula.

(b) Explain the principle of surveying.

Ans. Principle of surveying are as follows:
i. To work from whole to part.
According to the first principle, the whole area is first enclosed by

main stations and main survey lines as shown in figure above. The
area is then divided into a number of parts by forming well
conditioned triangles. A nearly equilateral triangle is considered to be 2
the best well conditioned triangle. The main survey lines are measured
very accurately with a standard chain. The sides of triangles are
measured. The purpose of this process of working is to prevent
accumulation of error.
ii. To locate a new station by at least two measurement from fixed 4

The new stations should always be fixed by at least two measurements

from fixed reference points. Linear measurements refer to horizontal
distance measured by chain or tape. Angular measurements refer to 2
the magnetic bearing or horizontal angle taken by a prismatic compass
or theodolite. The new station or ground point is located using linear
measurement or angular measurement or both measurements.

Q. 2 (c) Explain temporary adjustment of dumpy level.
Ans. Temporary adjustment of dumpy level:
I. Setting up the level.
i. The level fixed on tripod.
ii. The legs of tripod stand are well spread so that the level will remain
stable on tripod.
iii. Bring all the three foot screws in the Centre of their run so that
they can be turned clockwise or anticlockwise as required, for
Levelling purpose. 1
iv. Adjust the height of the instrument so that the observer can
Comfortably see through the telescope and note the readings.
v. Fix two legs of tripod and adjust third leg in such a way that the
levelling head will become as horizontal as possible by eye
judgment.
II. Levelling up the level.

i. The base of the tripod is already leveled with the help of cross
bubble.
ii To make accurate adjustment of the level, the longitudinal level is
adjusted in the Centre of its run, with the help of three foot screws.
iii. Make the bubble parallel to the any selected pair of foot screws.
Now; turn both the foot screws either inward or outward with the
help of foot screws till the bubble appears in the center. 1
iv. Turn the telescope through 90° and now with the help of third
screw bring the bubble of levelling tube in the center.
v. Repeat above process, until bubble will remain at centre in both
position. Then levelling is said to be completed.
4
III. Focusing the eye piece.
i. Hold a sheet of white paper in front of the objective glass 4 to 6 cm
away from objective glass and see through the eye piece.
ii. Turn the eye piece inwards or outwards in the socket so that the 1
cross hair on the diaphragm appears sharp and clear.
IV. Focusing the object glass.

i. Direct the telescope towards any object, say a levelling staff in the
field which is kept at a distance. See through eyepiece whether the
staff is visible, distinct or not.
ii. If not, then turn the focusing screw till the image is distinct and 1
clear. The cross hair on the diaphragm should also be seen clearly.

Q. 3 Attempt any three: 12
(a) Explain importance of benchmark in levelling.

Ans. i. As bench mark is the ground point whose elevation or R.L. is
known or preassumed; the back sight reading (first reading) is
taken on it. This back sight (BS) reading is useful to calculate
height of instrument (HI) in line of collimation. This HI is
useful to calculate R.L.’s of other ground points, in all types of 1
levelling. each 4
ii. Thus bench mark (BM) is essential to commence the survey
work. It is not possible to calculate reduced levels (RL’s) of
ground points without knowing BM.
iii. The BM is important to check the RL calculations by applying
arithmetical checks in both methods i.e. HI method and Rise-
fall method.
iv. The BM is useful to check the one day’s observation through
check levelling.

(c) Explain declination of magnetic needle and give its types.

Ans. The horizontal angle between the magnetic meridian and true meridian is
known as magnetic declination. When magnetic north gets deviated from
true north towards east or west due to local attraction, then it is known as
magnetic declination. Due to various local sources magnetic needle of 2
prismatic compass does nor remains in true north position; such an error
is called as declination of magnetic needle.

Depending upon declination towards east or north direction, there are

two types of declinations.
