    The document discusses differential leveling, which is used to determine elevation differences between points. It describes leveling instruments like automatic levels, leveling rods, and tripods. The general procedure for differential leveling involves backsight and foresight measurements between benchmark points, turning points, and height of instrument readings. Students will learn to perform differential leveling, familiarize themselves with leveling instruments, and solve for elevation differences between given points.

    Field Work 7: Differential Leveling

    Name:
    Designation:
    Block/Section:
    Weather: Date:
    I. Introduction
    Leveling is a branch in surveying that determine the height of points on the surface of the earth
    relative to the point of departure ('zero elevation') or to the level of the sea. Leveling is one of the
    kinds of geodetic measurements used to construct a reference grid for geodetic elevation and to
    perform topographical surveys, as well as to design, construct, and maintain infrastructure
    systems, railroads, highways, etc.

    In this chapter you will able to understand the different terms used in leveling and used of
    different instrument to obtain the elevation of the ground surface. Also, the method to determine
    the difference in elevation between two or more points using differential leveling

    II. Objectives
    After completion of this course the student should be able to:

    1. Perform Differential leveling


    2. Familiarize with the leveling instruments
    3. Solve the difference in elevation of the given points

    III. Instruments

    1. Wye/dumpy/automatic leveling device


    2. Leveling rod
    3. Tripod
    4. Plumb-bob
    5. Pins

    IV. General Procedure for Differential Leveling


     Procedure
    When the Instrument is already levelled and the Bench Mark is
    established.

    1. The Instrument man set up the level at a convenient point


    and back sight the rod held on BM1. Thus, will gives the HI.

    Note:
    The initial back sight (BS1) can be determined by taken a point of known
    elevation (bench mark) or a point of assumed elevation.
    HI= Elev BM1+BS

    2. The rod man moves to convenient point which be called as turning point
    (TP1) in the direction of BM2.
    Elev. The level
    TP1=HI- FS instrument takes a foresight on the
    rod, thus it provides as the elevation of (TP1)

    3. The level Instrument is then moved to a convenient


    location beyond TP1, this gives new height of instrument.
    The rod man moves forward to new location called
    turning point (TP2) and so on. This procedure is
    continued until the elevation of BM2 is determined.

     Sample of Field Notes (Differential Leveling)


    The upper portion of the right -hand page consist of:
    1. Date and time of survey
    2. Average temperature observed
    3. Prevailing weather condition

    It is normal to portray the arithmetic check at the foot of each foot of level notes and the signature
    of the chief party should be indicated to authenticate the field notes.

    V. Activity:

    Determine the difference in elevation of the following building from Dr. J Hernandez Statue: Assume
    100m elevation from MSL.

    1. JH Building
    2. EA Building
    3. DHS Building
    4. New Building
    5. Sports Palace
    6. UNC Covered Court

    Tabulate Your Solution accordingly:
