18 Cabrillo College Engineering 1A - Surveying LABORATORY NO THEODOLITE: ANGLE ABOUT A POINT Objectives: To measure the angles about a point by repetition using a theodolite. Equipment: Theodolite, tripod, carpenter s level (?) Procedure: (1) Each survey crew will choose one of the triangles used in Lab No. 2. (2) Set up your tripod (without the theodolite) in the center of your triangle so that the plate (flat part on top) is approximately horizontal. (3) Connect the theodolite to the tripod by use of the screw under the tripod. Position the theodolite in the center of the tripod. (4) Level your instrument and rotate the theodolite in different positions (90, 180, 270, & 360 ) ensuring that the instrument is indeed leveled. (5) Once leveled, look through the optical plumb. The location you see on the ground will be Point X. (6) Check the leveling and repeat Step No. 5 if necessary. (7) Focus the telescope and the eyepiece to eliminate parallax. (8) Measure the angle clockwise between Points A & B, Points B & C, and Points C & A with the angle set back to zero at the start of each measurement. The angles will be measured by repetition (demonstrated in class). Report the angle to the smallest increment that can be measured with your theodolite. Note: Each survey crew member will have her/his own notes. (9) Compute the average angle from the angles measured by repetition. (10) Sum up the average measured angles. (11) Compute the angle closure as compared to ' or ' 00". Rev 10/5/ kh

20 Cabrillo College Engineering 1A - Surveying 113 LABORATORY NO THEODOLITE: INTERIOR ANGLES Objectives: To measure the interior angles of a triangle by repetition using a theodolite. Equipment: Theodolite, Tripod, Carpenter s Level (?) Procedure: (1) A triangle with a set of three monuments (ginnies) labeled A, B and C will be assigned to each party. (2) Set up your tripod (without the theodolite) over Point A so that the plate is approximately horizontal. (3) Connect the theodolite to the tripod by use of the screw under the tripod. Position the theodolite in the center of the tripod. (4) Check height of instrument, making sure eyepiece is at a comfortable height to look through. (5) Step down on one leg of the tri-pod and position yourself on the opposite side of the tripod between the two other legs. (6) Adjust legs to level top plate of tripod. (7) Look through the optical plumb while holding onto two tripod legs. Using the third (opposite leg) as a pivot point, rotate or move up and down until you see the tac through the optical plumb. (8) Level your instrument and rotate the theodolite in different positions (90, 180, 270, & 360 ) ensuring that the instrument is indeed leveled. (9) If the optical plumb does not site in the center of the iron stake, loosen the screw connecting the theodolite and the tripod (do not unscrew completely) and slide the theodolite along the plate until the optical plumb sites in the center of the iron marker. (10) Check the leveling and repeat from Step No. 4 if necessary. (11) Focus the telescope and the eyepiece to eliminate parallax. (12) Measure angle A by siting in Point B at 00 00' 00" and turning the theodolite clockwise to Point C. The angles will be measured by repetition. NOTE: Report all angles to the smallest increment that can be measured with your theodolite. (13) Move theodolite and set up on Point B. Repeat Steps 3 to 7. (14) Measure angle B by sitting in Point C at 00 00' 00" and turning the transit clockwise to Point A. The angles will be measured by repetition. Rev 10/5/ kh

21 113A (15) Move transit and set up on Point C. Repeat Steps 3 to 7. (16) Measure angle C by sitting in Point A at 00 00' 00" and turning the transit clockwise to Point B. The angles will be measured by repetition. (17) No magnet bearings will be measured for this lab. Computations: (1) Compute the average interior angles of the triangle from the angles measured by repetition. (2) Sum up the average measured angles. Be sure that the sum is within 01' N of the theoretical sum of ' 00", where N is the number of setups. (3) Adjust the angles by applying equal corrections to each angle. Adjusted values should be rounded off to the nearest 10, 1, 30", 10, etc... (whichever is the smallest increment of your instrument).

23 Cabrillo College Engineering 1A - Surveying LABORATORY NO TOTAL STATION Objectives: To measure the interior angles of a traverse by repetition. To determine the horizontal lengths of all sides of a traverse. Equipment: Total station, tripod, prism and pole, extra battery, equipment manual Procedure: Interior Angle Measurement: (1) Each survey crew will choose one of the triangles used in Lab No. 2. (2) Set up your equipment on each point of the traverse and measure the interior angle by repetition. (3) Compute the average interior angles of the triangle from the angles measured by repetition. (4) Sum up the average measured angles. Be sure that the sum is within 01' N of the theoretical sum of ' 00", where N is the number of setups. (5) Adjust the angles by applying equal corrections to each angle. Adjusted values should be rounded off to the nearest 10, 1, 30", 10, etc... (whichever is the smallest increment of your instrument). Horizontal Distance Measurement: (1) Measure the horizontal distances of AB, BC and CA forward and backward. (2) Compute the average horizontal distance of each side of the triangle. The required precision of 1/5000 should be achieved. If the result is not within the 1/5000 allowed, the line must be remeasured.

25 Cabrillo College Engineering 1A - Surveying LABORATORY NO TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING Objective: To produce a topographic map of a 10,000 square-foot area on Cabrillo s campus. Equipment: To be decided by survey crew. Procedure: (1) Choose a method of survey to determine the horizontal and vertical control of points. (2) Set up your field books clearly. (3) Choose an area whose size is at least 10,000 square feet. Be sure that the area chosen has an elevation change of at least 10 feet. Be sure that your area is bordered on sides by natural or artificial boundaries such as road, curb, tress, bottom of slope, etc (4) Choose a sufficient number of control points and determine their locations and elevations. These control points should include points on the boundary, high and low points and points where changes in slope occur. Also, locate all natural and artificial objects: trees, lights, water valves, drains, lawn boundaries, etc... Computation/Mapping: (1) Choose the scale, contour interval, and indexed contours for your topographic map. (2) Draw a topographic map with contour lines to scale using AutoCAD or another CAD package. [Contour lines may be drawn by hand with a black pen.] (3) Using the CAD software, plot the points on one layer, sketch the artificial/natural features (curbs, sidewalks, lawns, trees, etc ) on another layer, and the contour lines on another layer (contour lines can be drawn by hand). Notes: Plot the control points on your map with the point numbers above the point and the elevations below the point. Do not draw the contour lines on concrete or asphalt roads/paths, etc (4) Be sure to include the following: >Border: thick line ~1/4 from the edge of the paper with a title block (box) including the title, your company name, drawn by and date, checked by and date, scale. >Legend: box including the graphical symbols you have used with the features that they represent. What to turn in? Printout of the topographic map showing natural and artificial features and the contour lines (no point elevations except high or low points). Photocopy of the field book pages of all your survey crew showing the topo lab. the topo map with all layer thawed.
