    The lab report summarizes a compass surveying exercise. A triangle was established using a compass and tape to measure bearings and distances between points A, B, and C. The forward and back bearings were recorded and checked for errors, which were found to be zero. Internal angles were calculated and also checked against their sum of 180 degrees with no error. The traverse was adjusted graphically by plotting points and measuring distances. Additional features within the triangle were located using intersection of bearings measured from known points. A final map of the area was produced.

    LAB REPORT 05 – COMPASS SURVEYING

    SHIVAM KUMAR SHUKLA – 180718

    KEYWORDS: Prismatic Compass, Chain Survey, Tape, Ranging Rods

    ABSTRACT:

    The lab report is a brief comprehension about the compass surveying done in the practical exercise. In compass surveying the direction of
    line is measured using compass and the length of the line is measured using chain or fiber tape.

    1. INTRODUCTION: From To F.B. B.B. Distance/Remark


    Traverse
    Compass surveying is an important branch of surveying A B 11° 191° 37.45
    which is usually adopted to carry out the linear and angular B C 126° 306° 52.80
    measurements. Prismatic compass is used for the angular
    measurements and chain tape, or fiber tape is used for linear C A 263° 83° 49.90
    measurements. The principle of compass surveying is Field Data
    Traversing. Collection
    C T1 231° 99° BB from point A
    2. OBJECTIVE: C T2 247° 102° BB from point A

    The objective of this practical exercise is to prepare a map


    using compass surveying.

    3. THEORY: Checking the error in B.B. and F.B.- The difference of B.B.
    and F.B. should be 180°.
    The principle of compass survey is traversing, which involves a
    series of connected lines. The magnetic bearing of the lines is  |B.B. – F.B.| = 180°
    measured by prismatic compass and the distance are measured
    by chain. Difference
    From To F.B. B.B.
    (B.B-F.B.)
    4. Equipment needed:
    Traverse
    Prismatic compass, tape, tripod, ranging poles, pegs or ranging A B 11° 191° 180°
    pins, cross staff B C 126 °
    306 °
    180°

    5. Procedure: C A 263° 83° -180°

     Establish a triangle using tape and compass, such that


    There is no error in F.B. and B.B. Hence, there is no need for
    each side is of length between 50 to 60 m.
    any correction.
     Record FB/BB of line AB, BC, CA and apply checks.
     Compute internal angles and apply checks. Now, we will compute internal angles to apply check.
     Plot a few details (tree, building, pole etc.,) by
    measuring angles (Intersection method).  ∠A = 191° - 126° = 65°
     Adjust the traverse by graphical method.
    Similarly,
    6. Adjustments and Centering
    ∠B = 306° - 263° = 43°
    To measure the angle using the prismatic compass the
    centering of the compass is done on the ranging pegs.
    This is done by falling a piece of stone from the center
    of compass vertically downward to check if the stone
    hits the peg.

    7. Observations, Calculation and Corrections:


    ∠C = 83° - 11° = 72°

    Check of Internal Angles of Triangle,

    ∑θ = ∠A+∠B+∠C

     ∑θ = 65°+43°+72° = 180°

    Thus, error = ∑θ -180° = 0°

    Hence, we can adjust the traverse by graphical method.

    Adjusting the traverse by graphical method-

     First of all, plot the diagram using measured values as


    shown in Figure 1. Further, follow the methods as shown
    in figure 2 and 3.

    Figure 3

    Plotting trees by intersection method–

     Draw lines from A and C at observed bearing angles


    and the intersection point will be the location of
    object (shown in figure 4).

     Thus, the final map is prepared and shown in Figure


    5.

    8. CONCLUSION:

    The map prepared after the compass surveying is as


    shown in figure 5 and is obtained by adjustments in the
    errors.
