Base Inaccessbile Double Plane Method 1

This document describes the double plane method for determining the elevation of an object when the base is inaccessible using two instrument stations that are not in the same vertical plane as the object. It involves setting up instruments at two stations P and R, measuring vertical and horizontal angles to the object Q from each station, and calculating the elevation using trigonometric relationships between the stations and projections of the object onto horizontal planes passing through elevation benchmarks. The elevation is then calculated using the vertical angles and either the distance or horizontal projections between the stations and object.

(C) BASE INACCESSIBLE (DOUBLE PLANE METHOD)


Aim:
To find the R.L. of the top of an object, when the base of the object is
inaccessible and the instrument stations are not in the same vertical plane as the
elevated object, adopt trigonometrical leveling (double plane method).

Equipment:
Transit Vernier Theodolite, Tripod Stand, Plumb Bob, Tape, Leveling Staff and Pegs

Procedure:
Let P&R be the two instruments stations which are not in the same vertical plane
as that of the elevated object Q as shown in Fig.9 P&R are should be selected
such that the le PQR is a well conditioned triangle.

It is required to find out the elevation of the top of an object Q

1. Setup the instruments at P and level it accurately w.r.t. the altitude


bubble. Bisect the point Q and measure the angle of elevation 1.
2. Sight to point R with reading on horizontal circle as zero and measure the
horizontal angle RPQ1 (1) from P.
3. Take a back sight S on the staff kept at A.B.M.
4. Shift the instrument to R and measure 2and 2 from R.
5. Measure the distance b/w two instrument stations R & P (equals to b)

Let
Q1= projection of Q on the horizontal line thought A,
Q2= projection of Q on the horizontal line thought B,
AQ1= horizontal line though A,
BQ2= horizontal line though B,
AQQ1 is the vertical plane simultaneously,
BQQ2 is the vertical plane simultaneously,
PRQ3 is a horizontal plane
1= Horizontal angle measured at P,
2= Horizontal angle measured at R,
1= Vertical angle measured at A,

2= Vertical angle measured at B.


From le AQQ, h1= D tan1
From le PRQ10, angle PQ10R = 3 = 1800 - (1 + 2)
By applying sine rule
(PQ1/sin2) = (RQ1/Sing1) = (RP/sin3)
PQ1 = D = b sin2/ {sin (1+2)}
And RQ1= b sin1/ {sin (1+2)}

Observations and Calculations:


Vertical Angles, 1 = Staff Readings S1 (m) = Horizontal
Angles, 1 =
2 = S2 (m) =
2 =

h1 = D tan1 or h2 = RQ1tan
R.L. of Q (m) = RL. Of A.B.M. + S1 + h1
(Or)
R.L. of Q (m) = R.L. of A.B.M. + S2 (from B) + h2 =

Result:
R.L. of given station Q (m) =

Comments/Inference:
Write your comments and observations on the result obtained.
