Objective
1. To plot details using radiation and intersection methods in plane tabling.
2. To solve two point/ three point problem in plane table traverse survey.
Theory
Measurements made in plotting
Principles of surveying
Difference between normal surveying and plane table surveying
Taking readings directly in field and plotting there itself
Radiation method divided the whole plot into number of triangles
Intersection method uses the principle of surveying
Apparatus/ instruments/ accessories
1. Plane table with stand
2. Chart sheet, pencil, eraser, clips
3. Spirit level
4. Trough compass
5. Plumbing fork
Plane table
Accessories
Procedure
Radiation method
◦ Establishing the table
◦ Mark points around table
◦ Focus on points
◦ Draw rays towards points
◦ Close the figure

Solve two point problem

Intersection method
◦ Establishing the table on station1 first (two stations)
◦ Marking point for focus
◦ Draw ray towards point and station 2
◦ Shift to station 2
◦ Orient towards line joining station 1 and station two
◦ Draw ray towards point from station 2
◦ Fix point on the plane table (plot)
Results
Area of given plot
