Traversing method of plane surveying
Traversing method of plane table surveying includes following steps :-
- All traverse stations A, B, C and D are selected.
- The plane table is set up over the starting point 'A' and by using U-fork, point 'A' is transferred on the drawing sheet as 'a'.
- The plane table is oriented so that the area to be surveyed, falls on the table.
- A magnetic North line is drawn with a box compass.
- Pivoting the alidade about 'a', we sight the next station B and draw a ray along the fiducial edge of alidade.
- The distance AB is measured and a line 'ab' is plotted on the ray by taking suitable scale.
- The table is shifted to station 'B' and centered such that the ray 'ab' passed vertically above the ground point 'B'.
- Alidade is placed along the ray 'ba' and table is rotated till ground station A is sighted. Then, it is clamped.
- Pivoting the alidade about 'b', the next station C is sighted and 'bc' is platted on the ray drawn towards the station C.
- Similarly, the plane table is set up on the other succeeding stations C and D till the last station is plotted. The plotted position of the last station should normally coincide with the location of the first station in case of a closed circuit.
Thank you.
