    The document describes a plane table surveying experiment using the intersection method. The aim is to plot points P, Q, R, S, and T on a drawing sheet using the intersection method. First, the plane table is set up at station A and oriented along baseline AB. Rays are drawn from A to the points. Then the plane table is shifted to station B where it is oriented along BA. Rays are drawn from B to the points, intersecting the rays from A to locate the points on the drawing sheet. Distances between the points are then measured on the ground and scaled on the plan to check the results.

    Experiment No. 2
    INTERSECTION METHOD – PLANE TABLE SURVEYING

    Aim:

    To draw the position in plan of the given points by intersection method.

    Equipment and Accessories:

    Plane table and its accessories (tripod, alidate, trough compass, plumbing fork, spirit level,
    drawing sheet, pencil, eraser etc.), measuring tape, ranging rods.

    Theory:
    The plane table surveying is that method of surveying in which the fieldwork and plotting
    work is done simultaneously, and no office work is necessarily required.
    The plane tabling is generally adapted for surveys in which high precision is not required. It
    is mainly employed for small-scale or medium size mapping.
    Methods of Plane table Surveying
    1. Radiation method
    2. Intersection method
    3. Traversing method
    Operations involved in Plane Table Surveying
    SETTING UP THE PLANE TABLE
    The setting up the plane table includes the following three operations.
    1. Centering the plane table
    2. Leveling the plane table
    3. Orientation of plane table
    CENTERING THE PLANE TABLE:
    The table should be set up at a convenient height for working say about 1m. The legs of
    tripod should be spread well apart and firmly fixed in to the ground. The table should be
    approximately leveled by tripod legs and judging by the eye. Then the operation of centering
    is carried out by means of U-frame and plumb bob. The plane table is exactly placed over the
    ground station by U-frame and plumb bob.
    LEVELING THE PLANE TABLE:
    The process of leveling is carried out with the help of level tube. The bubble of level tube is
    brought to center in two directions, which are right angles to each other. This is achieved by
    moving legs.
    ORIENTING THE TABLE:
    The process of keeping the plane table always parallel to the position, which is occupied at
    the first station, is known as orientation. When the plane table is oriented, the lines on the
    board are parallel to the lines on the ground.

    Procedure:

    It is required to plot the position of ground points PQRST (shown in figure given below) on
    the drawing sheet. The line AB is a base line measured on the ground. It is represented by the
    line ab on the board drawn to scale.

    1. Set up the plane table over A and orient the plane table by laying the alidade along the
    drawn line ab and rotate the board until B is sighted from A through the alidade (Now the
    line ab is aligned with line AB on the ground).
    2. Pivot the alidade at ‘a’ and sight to the points P, Q, R, S & T and draw the rays. These
    rays represent the lines of sight to these features.
    3. Shift the table to B. Plumb point b on the board over B on the ground.
    4. By laying the alidade along the drawn line ba rotate the board until A is sighted and
    clamp the board (Now the line ab is aligned with line AB on the ground)
    5. Mark the direction of the magnetic meridian on the drawing sheet by means of
    trough compass.
    6. Pivot the alidade at ‘b’ and sight to the points P, Q, R, S & T and draw the rays (The rays
    from B will intersect those drawn from A, thus establishing the positions p, q, r, s & t on
    the board).
    7. Join the points p, q, r, s & t on the drawing sheet.

    Observations and Calculations:

    1. Measure the distance PQ, QR, RS, ST and TP on the ground.


    2. Scale the distance pq, qr, rs,st and tp on the drawing sheet.

    Result:

    Compare the ground and plan distances between the stations P, Q, R, S and T.
