Plate No. 04

This document contains 6 problems involving leveling and stadia surveying calculations. The problems involve computing elevations, distances, rod readings, and heights of towers given angle and distance measurements between points with known or unknown elevations. Calculations consider effects of earth curvature and refraction. The final problem involves computing inclined stadia distance, elevation difference, and an elevation given upper and lower stadia readings, vertical angle, instrument height, and one known elevation.

PLATE NO.

(LEVELING)

1. Three hills A, B, and C has elevations of 660m, 625m, and 600m respectively. B is in
between A and C and is 10km from A and 12km from C.
a. Considering the effect of curvature and refraction correction, what is the clearance
or obstruction of the line of sight at B considering that C is visible from A.
b. If a 5m tower is erected on top of B, what would be the height of equal towers to
be erected at A and C in order that A, B and C will be intervisible.
c. What should be the height of tower to be erected at C so that B and C will be
intervisible from A.
2. Four hills A, B, C, and D are in straight line. The elevations are 247m, 236m, 314m and
396m respectively. The distances of B, C and D from A are 12km, 45km, and 60km
respectively. Considering the effect of curvature and refraction of the earth.
a. Compute the height of equal towers on A and D to sight over B and C with a 3m
clearance.
b. Compute the elevation of the line of sight at B with the installation of the equal
heights of tower at A and D.
c. Compute the height of tower at A with a clearance of 3m at C so that D will be
visible from A, if the height of tower at D is 2m
3. From point A in between B and C, the angles of elevation of B and C are 18030’ and 8015’
respectively. Point C is 2000m from A and B is 1200m from A. Elevation of A is 219.42m
above sea level.
a. Compute the difference in elevation between B and C considering the effect of the
earth’s curvature and refraction.
b. Compute the difference in elevation between A and C.
c. Compute the elevation of B.
4. To make a peg adjustment, the following notes were taken.

Wye level at 1 Wye level at 2


Rod reading at P 0.632 1.867
Rod reading at Q 2.543 3.432
Point 1 is on the line PQ and midway between P and Q.

Point 2 is on the same line as P and Q but not between them

Point 2 is 30m from P and 230m from Q. With the wye level at point 1, what is the rod
reading at Q for a level sight?

5. A survey party proceeded to do their stadia survey work as follows. The transit was set up
at A and with the line of sight horizontal, took rod reading at points B and C which is 300m
and 80m from A respectively. With rod at B, the stadia interval was recorded to be 3.001m
and with the rod at C, the stadia interval was recorded to be 0.800m. The distance from
the instrument to the principal focus was recorded to be 0.30m. Then they went to survey
other points with some of the data recorded as follows with the transit at point D, the
two points E and F were sighted.
Stadia interval = 2.25m
Rod at E
Vertical Angle = +4030’
Stadia interval = 3.56m
Rod at F
Vertical Angle = -3030’
a. Compute the stadia interval factor
b. Compute the horizontal distance DE
c. Compute the difference in elevation between E and F assuming elevation of D is
350.42m above sea level.
6. The upper and lower stadia hair readings on a stadia rod held at station B were observed
as 3.50 and 1.00m respectively, with the use of a transit with an interval focusing
telescope and having a stadia interval factor of 99.5. The height of the instrument above
station A is 1.45m and the rod reading is taken at 2.25m. If the vertical angle observed is
-23034’, determine the following:
a. Inclined stadia distance
b. Difference in elevation between the two stations
c. The elevation of station B, if the elevation of station A is 155.54m above mean sea
level.
