Adjustment of a Closed Traverse
Adjustment of a closed traverse includes: 1. Adjustment of Angular Error. 2. Adjustment of Bearings. 3. Adjustment of Closing Error. 1. Adjustment of Angular Error: (a) Angular Error: The theoretic…
Traverse
Surveyors typically measure positions in series. Starting at control points, they measure angles and distances to new locations and use trigonometry to calculate positions in a plane coordinate system. Measuring…
LATITUDES AND DEPARTURES
The latitude of a line is its projection on the north-south meridian and is equal to the length of the line times the cosine of its bearing. The departure of a line…
Latitude
What is Latitude and Longitude? Just like every actual house has its address (which includes the number, the name of the street, city, etc), every single point on the surface…
Theodolite traverse – Field work
What is theodolite? Theodolite parts, survey, Traversing In this article, we show all information about theodolites like parts of the theodolite, survey of theodolite, and classification of theodolite, theodolite traversing, and the…
Types of traverse
Traverse Surveying is a popular method of surveying. This article includes the definition of traverse surveying along with its classification, errors in traversing, checks, the completed method of traversing and plotting…
Local attraction & Compass Surveying
Local attraction is the phenomenon by which the magnetic needle is constantly prevented to point towards the magnetic north at a place. This is because that these magnetic compass is influenced by other…
Bearings & Azimuths in Surveying
Angles and lengths are the basic measurements in surveying. Angles in surveying are classified as either horizontal or vertical, based on the plane in which they are measured. Horizontal angles…
Meridians
Over the past several weeks, we have been discussing the TCM view of the human body, which is the model taught At the core of this model is the notion that…
Measuring Angles
Angles can be measured with a magnetic compass, of course. Unfortunately, the Earth's magnetic field does not yield the most reliable measurements. The magnetic poles are not aligned with the…
