ROLL NO: 18CE193
SUBMITTED TO: MR.SHAHZAIB JAMIL
OBJECT:
To determine the latitude and departure of the lines and calculate the coordinates of the line.

APPARATUS:
Theodolite,Tape,5 Ranging Rods,Tripod Stand,Field book.

THEORY:
In Surveying, one of the primary functions is to describe or establish the positions of points on the
surface of the earth. One of the many ways to accomplish this is by using coordinates to provide an
address for the point. Modern surveying techniques rely heavily on 3 dimensional coordinates.In order
to understand the somewhat complex coordinate systems used in surveying, we must first look at the
Rectangular Coordinate System (or Cartesian Plane) from basic mathematics. A vertical directed line (y-
axis) crosses the horizontal directed line (x-axis) at the origin point. This system uses an ordered pair of
coordinates to locate a point. The coordinates are always expressed as (x,y).The horizontal distance
from the y-axis to a point is known as the abscissa. The vertical distance from the x-axis is known as the
ordinate. The abscissa and ordinate are always measured from the axis to the point - never from the
point to the axis. In surveying, the quadrants are numbered clockwise starting with the upper right
quadrant and the normal way of denoting coordinates (in the United States) is the opposite (y,x) or
more appropriately North, East.

1)LATITUDE: 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.
2)DEPARTURE: The departure of a line is its projection on the east-west meridian and is equal to the
length of the line times the sine of its bearing.

3)COORDINATES SYSTEM: Coordinate systems enable geographic datasets to use common locations for
integration. A coordinate system is a reference system used to represent the locations of geographic
features, imagery, and observations such as GPS locations within a common geographic framework.
Each coordinate system is defined by:

1)Its measurement framework which is either geographic (in which spherical coordinates are measured
from the earth's center) or planimetric (in which the earth's coordinates are projected onto a two-
dimensional planar surface).

2) Unit of measurement (typically feet or meters for projected coordinate systems or decimal degrees
for latitude–longitude).

3) The definition of the map projection for projected coordinate systems.

4) Other measurement system properties such as a spheroid of reference, a datum, and projection
parameters like one or more standard parallels, a central meridian, and possible shifts in the x- and y
directions
PROCEDURE:
1)First of all we will do temporary adjustment of theodolite,in first we will do setting up which includes
two operations1) Centering a theodolite over a station: Done by means of plumb bob. 2). Approximately
leveling it by tripod legs only: Done by moving tripod legs.

2) Having centered and approximately leveled the instrument, accurate leveling is done with the help of
foot screws with reference to the plate levels, so that the vertical axis shall be truly vertical.

3)After leveling is done we will eliminate the parallex which will be done in two steps by 1)focusing the
eye-piece.2)by focusing the object.

4)After successfully adjusted the instrument for finding the latitude and departure and coordinates of a
line we will need to find bearing with respect to north(W.C.B) and length of them also.

5)For finding the bearing we will adjust the theodolite to north when the bangle of north by compass
will come to zero we will lock the theodolite there and then with respect to it will measure bearing of
station AB,BC,CD,DE,EF by targeting the ranging rods of every station.

6) when finding bearing s of the each station we will measures distances of each station by tape.

7)After that we will calculate all these latitudes and departure and coordinates in field book.

OBSERVATION:

LINE: LENGTH(m): BEARING(W.C.B):


AB 71.25m 243⁰19′30″
BC 91.58 67⁰19′40″
CD 119.08 135⁰9′40″
DE 95.25 102⁰50′0″
EF 101.16 83⁰46′30″
