Adjusting the horizontal axis (Spire Test):
Aim: Horizontal axis perpendicular to V.A
Necessity: If the horizontal axis is not prospered to V.A when the telescope is transited we do
not get the vertical plane but it will be scant thus during prolonging a line or while
transferring foundation points we do not get the designed straightness.
Testing:
1. Instrument is established nears to high raised object like transmission town or multistoried
building with all temporary adjustments.
2. Top of the object is bisected and horizontal plate is clamped. Telescope is rotated down to get a

Functioning of theodolite.
1. Plate level axis must be perpendicular to vertical axis: If this relation does not exist vertical axis
will not be truly vertical and hence we get error in centering of the instrument which gives a
very wrong observed value.
2. Horizontal axis must be perpendicular to vertical axis: This is essential to get accurate horizontal
angle measurements in any face.
3. Horizontal axis shall be perpendicular to axis of collimation (AOC): This is important while
prolonging a line or to eliminate the index error in the vertical circle.
4. Altitude bubble shall be parallel to axis of collimation (AOC): This relationship will reduce the
index error in the vertical forms as well as in getting concurrent values in different face
readings.

Unit 4:
a) Determining the constants of a tacheometer (June 2012, June2013)
Tachometric constants K and C are determined in the field with the following procedure.
1. Instrument is set at a convenient point on a level ground withal temporary adjustments.
2. Horizontal plate of the instrument is clamped and along the plane ground points are marked at regular
intervals from the instrument ground point.
3. Staff is held at all the marked points say A,B,C . And the corresponding staff intercept (Upper hair
heading lower hair reading) say SA, SB, SC,.are determined.
4. Knowing the distance to each staff point form the instrument the constant K & C are determined as
shown in the calculations
We have, D1= K SA+C
D2= K SB+C
D3= K Sc+C
Solving above equations
Equation2equation 1 gives
D2- D1 = (KSB+C) - (KSA+C)
= KSB - KSA D2- D1 = K(SB SA)
K1 = D2 D1 / SB SA
K2 =D2 D1 / SC - SA
K3 = D3 D2 / SC - SB
True value of K = (K1 + K2 + K3) / 3
In the same way values are substituted in corresponding equations to get value of C1, C2, C3True value
of C is obtained by taking the average
C = (C1 + C2 + C3) / 3

Also called as indirect leveling to find the height of object / RL of object only with one instrument

Tachometric surveying is a type of surveying in which we determine the height or elevation of the objects
similar to leveling work.
In this method, the horizontal distance to the object base is not measured but calculated from the
observed data. Hence the method is fast easy and convenient. Thus the method is suitable to find out the
elevation sin hilly areas, river valley, rough terrain where the distance to the object from the instrument
cannot be measured.
As all the calculations depends only on observed data. The method may not be accurate. The staff
man should be able to reach the point whose elevation is required. In tachometric surveying and
instrument called tachometer is adopted this is nothing but normal venire theodolite fitted with stadia

Unit 5:
Q 5. a) Definition (June 2013)
1. Mid ordinateMp (O0) this is the line joining centre of curve to mid-point to the long chord.
O0 = R (1 - cos /2)
2. Vertex distance/external distance: PV= (V)
This is the distance between centres of the curve to intersection angle
VP = R (sec /21)
3. Point of tangency: T2 (P.T):
This is the point where the curve ends and changes to straight stretch
b) By successive bisection of chord: (June2012)
In this method the major chord is bisected successively to get the midpoints of small curves. These
midpoints when jointed will give the curvature of simple circular curve.
Procedure:
1. after getting T1, T2 they are connected to get the major chord.
2. The midpoint is identified and mid-ordinate is erected to get P.

is identified.
4. At M1 the midordinate O1 further curve is constructed
5. With this T1 P1 and P1 P will now be 2 independent curves for which we set out midordinates
to get curve points P2 P3 .

g. Offsets from chord produced (Deflection distance method) (July 2013, Jan 2014, Dec 2014)
This method is an important one which is used to set out large curves and cures on high ways or
road constructions.
Procedure:
1. The total curve length is divided into no. of equal parts such that joining these parts we get sub
chords and the sub chord length will be equal to the corresponding curve length ie., T1A = T1A
2. The length of 1st
chord C1 is measured along tangent to get A1 At A1 an arc of length o1 is
drawn to cut an arc of radius C1 drawn from T1 this will give point A on the curve
3. The chord T1A is produced to B1 so that A B1 = C2 At B1 and ordinate of length O2 is cut
through arc to cut an arc of radius C2 from pt. A this gives pt. B on the curve.
4. Step 3 is repeated till we reach T2by getting points on the curve
Data and Calculation:
T1v = Rare tangent/ Backward tangent
T1A = T1A = C1 = First sub chord
A B1= AB = C2 = Normal chord

The most common type of a planimeter is the polar planimeter. The area is computed by utilizing
the relationship between the tracing arm point, moved over the outline of the figure, and the connected
recording wheel which records the displacement.
A planimeter essentially consists of two bars hinged together. At the extreme end on one of the
bars, a weight is suspended over a 'needle point' or 'anchor point' which is used to anchor the bar outside
the area to be measured. The other bar known as the tracing arm, has a 'tracing point' at its extreme end.
The tracing point is moved as desired, about the needle point. At the other end of the tracing arm there
is a roller which rolls on the surface of the plan as the pointer is moved. Thus, when in use the planimeter
has three contact points on the surface of the plan, the anchor point, the tracing point, and the roller
circumference. A fixed Vernier is attached to the roller drum. A disk is also connected to the roller, by a
work drive such that one revolution of the roller turns the disk trough one part.
In large planimeters the tracing arm is made adjustable. This arrangement has two distinct
advantages. Firstly, the arm can be adjusted to the unit area of the plan; and secondly, the planimeter may
be tested for any unit area, and if found incorrect , the error can be eliminated by adjusting the arm.
Consider a moving line AB, of length L as shown in the fig. the ends of which move in a given loci. The

ends A and B, of the line AB, are displaced to A1 and B2 respectively. Let the normal displacement of
end A be dz and the rotation of B1 as d.
The area swept ABB2A1,
dA' = Ldz + LL d
or dA' = Ldz + L2
d
Now suppose a wheel F fixed upon AB, its plane being perpendicular to that line, so that in the
displacement of AB, the wheel rolls when the point F moves perpendicularly to AB. Let dbe the angle
through which the wheel turns upon its axis in passing from F to F'. If r is the radius of the wheel, rdis
the length of the arc applied to the paper. This length is equal to dz + the arc L'd
rd= dz + L'd
Eliminating dz from Eq.(1)
dA' = rLd+ (L2/2LL')d
dA' = rLd+ (L2/2LL')d
When the directing curve AA1 is exterior to the area X,
rLd= rL= Lz (where z = r)
d= 0, since AB returns to its original position without having made a circuit about O.
Therefore integrating Eq.(4)A'=A = Lz
