Theory:
PRINCIPLE OF STADIA METHOD
The stadia method is based on the principle that the ratio of perpendicular to the
base is Constant in similar isosceles triangles.In fig let two rays OA and OB be
equally inclined to the central ray OC. Let A2B2, A1B1 and AB be staff intercepts.

This constant k entirely depends upon the magnitude of the angle . If is made
equal to 3422, the constant k=1/2Cot 1711=100. In this case the distance between
the staff and the point o will be 100 times the intercept. In actual practice, observation
may be made with inclined line of sight. in the later case, the staff may be kept either
vertically or normal to the line of sight. We shall first derive the distance elevation
formulae for the horizontal sights.
Horizontal Sight:- Considering fig in which o is the optical centre of the objective of an
external focusing telescope.
Let A,C and B= The point cut by the three lines of sight corresponding to the three
wires.
b, c and (Top, axial and bottom )hairs of the diaphragm.
a b= i= interval between the stadia hairs (stadia interval)
AB=s=Staff intercept.
f=focal length of the objective.
f1=Horizontal distance of the staff from the optical centre of the objective.
f2=Horizontal distance of the cross-wires from O.
d= Distance of the vertical axis of the instrument from O.
D= Horizontal distance of the staff from the vertical axis of the instrument.
M= Centre of the instrument, corresponding to the vertical axis.
Since the rays Bob and AOa pass through the optical centre they are straight so
that s
AOB and aob are similar.

The horizontal distance between the axis and the staff is

D = ks + C
Equation (4) is known as the distance equation. In order to get the horizontal distance,
therefore, the staff intercept s is to be found by subtracting the staff reading
corresponding to the top and bottom stadia hairs.
The constant k =
f
is known as the multiplying constant or stadia interval factor and the
i
constant (f+d)=C is known as the additive stadia if the instrument.
Determination of Constant k and C

The values of the multiplying constant k and the additive constant C can be
computed by the following methods:
1st Method :- In this method ,the additive constant C=(f +d) is measured from the
instruments while the multiplying constant k is computed from field observations
Survey-II

1) Focus the instruments to a distant object and measure along the telescope the
distance between the objective and crosshair.

= +
f
f1 f 2
Since f1 is very large in this case, f is approximately equal to f2 i.e. equal to the
distance of the diaphragm from the objective.
2) The distance d between the instrument axis and the objective is variable in case
of external focusing telescope, being greater for short sights and smaller for long
sights. It should, therefore, be measured for average sight. Thus, the additive
constant (f +d) is known.
3) To calculate the multiplying constant k, measure a known distance
and take
the S1 on the staff kept at that point , the line of sight being horizontal. using
equation
D1 = KS1 + C
K=
D1 C
S1
For the average value, staff intercepts, s2, s3 etc., can be measured corresponding
to distance d2, d3 etc., and mean value can be calculated.
2nd Method:In this method, both the constants are determined by field observations as under:
1) Measure a line, about 200 m long on fairly level ground and drive pegs at some
intervals, say 50 meters.
Survey-II

2) Keep the staff on the pegs and observe the corresponding staff intercepts with
horizontal sight.
3) Knowing the values of d and s for different points, a number of simultaneous
equations can be formed by substituting the values of d and s in equation (1.1).
The simultaneous solution of successive pairs of equations will give the values of k
and c, and the average of these can be found.
If s1 is the staff intercept corresponding to distance D1 and s2 corresponding to D2,
we have,
D1 = KS1 + C and-----------------------------------------------(1)
D2 = KS 2 + C ----------------------------------------------------(2)
Subtracting (1) from (2) we get,
K=
D2 D1
-----------------------------------------------------(3)
S 2 S1
Substituting the values of k in (1) we get,

Thus, equations 3 and 4 give the values of K and C.

vertical distance of point are obtained by instrumental observation. )
Tacheometer: It is a transit theodolite having a stadia telescope i.e. telescope
fitted with stadia diaphragm.
A leveling staff can be used for sighting purpose up to 100m distance.
Procedure:
1) Select an instrument station A on a fairly leveled ground and fix a peg.
2) Do the temporary adjustment over A.
3) With vertical circle to the left of the observer and reading 0000000 bisect staff
held at 10m, 20m, and 30m from A along straight line.
4) Note down the staff reading against top and bottom stadia hair on staff held
at 10m, 20, 30m from A.
5) In case of inclined line of sight the same procedure as stated above is
followed step by step with a vertical angle of 0500000 in the vertical circle of
the theodolite. In this case, the vertical circle is held to the left of the observer
and with the reading 0500000 in the circle the staff is bisected at 10m, 20m,

Theory:- The Tacheometer is an instrument which is generally used to determine

the horizontal as well as vertical distance . it can also be used to determine the
elevation of various points which cannot be determine by ordinary leveling.
When one of the sight is horizontal and staff held vertical then the RLs of staff
station can be determined as we determine in ordinary leveling .But if the staff
station is below or above the line of collimation then the elevation or depression
of such point can be determined by calculating vertical distances from
instrument axis to the central hair reading and taking the angle of elevation or
depression made by line of sight to the instrument made by line of sight to the
instrument axis.

Aim:- Setting out of simple circular curve by offsets from chord produced method
Problem Two straight intersect at chainage (30+10), the deflection angle being
44. Calculate the necessary data for laying out a curve by the method of offsets from
the chord produced. The degree of the curve being 7. The peg interval being equal to
20meters.
Procedure for setting out of curve

1) Locate the tangent points T1 and T2 on the straights AB and CB.
2) Cut T1D1 equal to the length of the first sub chord (C1) already calculated along
the tangentT1B.
Survey-II

3) With T1 as centre and T1D1 radius, swing the chain or tape such that the arc D1D=
calculated offset O1, thus fixing the first point D on the curve.
4) Keep the chain along T1D and pull it straight in the forward direction of T1D until
the length DE1 becomes equal to second C2 (i.e the length of normal chord).
5) With D as centre and DE1 as radius, swing the chain such that the arc
E1E=calculated offset O2, thus fixing the second point E on the curve.
6) Continue the process repeating the point (d) and (e) until that end the curve is
reached. The last point so fixed must coincide with the previously located points
T2 (the last curve tangent point ) if not,find out the closing error. If it is small (say
with in 2m) it should be distributed to all the points by moving them sideways by
an amount proportional to the square of their distances from the point T1,
otherwise the whole curve should be set out again.

Results:- By tangential angle method the simple circular curve was plotted on the
ground
Survey-II
Experiment No 07
Aim : Setting out of simple transition curve by tangential angle methods
Problem
Two straight interest at chainage (102+10). The deflection angle of two straight is
42.it is proposed to interest a right handed circular curve of 500m radius and
transition curve at each end, the road bend is to be designed for maximum speed
of 90km/hour and for maximum rate of change of acceleration of 30cm/sec3. make
all the necessary calculation for setting out the combined curve by tangential
deflection method. the peg interval for transition curve be taken as 15m and for
circular curve as 30m.
Survey-II

Procedure for setting out a transition curve and circular curve by tangent offsets.
1) Locate the tangent point T1 .
2) Calculate the offsets for the transition curve by formula perpendicular offset
' y' =
x3
Where x is measured along the tangent T1B and Tangential offset
6 RL
x3
' y' =
Where l is measured along the curve.
6 RL
3) Starting from the point T1, with the help of tape and chain calculated
perpendicular offsets or tangential offsets such as y1,y2,y3----------at a length of
x1,x2,x3-----------or l1,l2,l3---------are laid at the end of the chainages x1,x2------- or
l1,l2------- likewise the junction point F is located. The number of chord in which the
length of transition curve is divided depends on the length of the transition curve.
Check :- at x=L/2, the transition curve bisects the shift and at x=L the perpandiclar
offset=4s.
4) The process is repeated to layout the other transition curve from T2.
5) The circular curve between the point F and H laid in the same manners as
explained in laying simple circular curve.
Note:- The peg interval for the transition curve may be from 10 to 15 meters, while
that for the circular it may be 20meters or 30meters.

STEREOSCOPE
Stereoscope in an instrument used of viewing stereopairs. Stereoscopes are
designed for two purposes
1. To assist in presenting to the eyes the images of a pair of photographs so that
the relationship between convergence and accommodation is the same as
would be in natural vision.
2. To magnify the perception of depth.
There are two basic types of stereoscopic for stereoscopic viewing of
photographs:
A)
Mirror stereoscope
B)
Lens stereoscope.

A)
Mirror stereoscope
The mirror stereoscope shown diagrammatically consist of a pair of small
eye-piece mirrors mirrors m and a pair of larger wing mirrors, M and M each of
which is oriented at 45% with the place of the photographs. Show a nail mounted
on a block of timber , and is being photographed by two camera position .The
camera lens is placed fist in the position of left eye and then in the position of
right eye, and separate photographs are taken in each position of left eye and
then in the position of right eye and separate photographs are taken in each
position. It will be noted that the head of the nail is to the left in the left film and to
the right in the right film. AB are the images of the nail AB in the two films.
Contact prints from these negatives are placed in the mirror stereoscope
as show in where only images of the nail are drawn .
Survey-II

The dour mirrors transfer the light to the eyes exactly(exactly for accommodation)
as if it had come from nail as shown by dotted line. The convergence and retinal
disparity are sufficient for the observer to see the nail in three dimensions.
The total distance b M m E or M m E from the eye to the pane of the
photographs varice 30 cm to 45cm, in order that the unaided eye may
comfortably view the photographs. The angle is determined by the separation
of photographs that give the most eye comfort, and is compatible with the
distance bMme. If this distance is to be reduced, a pair of magnifying lenses is
placed at E and E each magnifier has a focal length slightly smaller than the
distance bMme. Some types of mirror stereoscope have a set of removable
binoculars which are place at the eye positions E and E.
Show a wild ST 4 mirror stereoscopes with a parallax bar manufactured by
Ms Wild Heerbrugg Ltd. It is used for spatial observation of stereo photographs
upon a maximum model size of approximately 18cmcm. The distance between
the central point of mirrors is 25cm for all interpupillary distances. The whole
model area can be seen through the two lenses provided for correction of the
bundle of rays and for accommodating. A removable set of eyepieces with 3 X
magnification can be swung in over these lenses for closer examination of parts
of the model and study of details. A pair of eyepieces particularly useful when
selecting tie points in aerial triangulation. The two inclined binocular eyepiece
tubes are adjustable for interpupillarly distance of 56 to 74mm and have eyepiece adjustments for focusing the separate images .
Survey-II

The greatest single advantage of the mirror stereoscope is the fact that
photographs may be completely separated of the mirror stereoscope is the fact
that the photographs may be completely separated for viewing , and the entire
overlap area may be seen stereoscopically without having to slip the
photographs.
B)
Lens stereoscope
A lens stereoscope consists of a single magnifying lens for each eye, and
no mirrors. The two magnifying lenses are mounted with a separation equal to the
average interpupillary distances of the human eyes, but provision is made for
changing this separation to suit the individual user.
The distance between the nodal point of the lens and the plane of the
photographs depends upon the focal length of the lens. The two photographs
can be brought so closet the eyes that proper convergence can be maintained
without causing the photographs to interfere with each other as show in since the
photographs are very close to the eyes, the images occupy larger angular
dimensions and therefore appear enlarged show a lens stereoscope.
The lens stereoscope is apt to cause eye strain as accommodation is not in
sympathy with convergence and the axes of the eyes are forced out their normal
conciliation and can be slipped in ones pocket this type being called a pocket
stereoscope. Because of larger size, mirror stereoscope is not so portable as is the
pocket stereoscope.
