1. Height of Collimation Method OR Height of instrument (H.I)

2. Rise and Fall Method


 

1. Collimation Method or Height of instrument:


It consist of finding the elevation of the plane of collimation (H.I.)  for every set up of the instrument, and then obtaining the reduced level of point with reference to the respective plane of collimation. 
1. Elevation of plane of collimation for the first set of the level determined by adding back side to R.L. of B.M.
2. The R.L. of intermediate point and first change point are then obtained by starching the staff reading taken on respective point (IS & FS) from the elation of the plane collimation. [H.I.]
3. When the instrument is shifted to the second position a new plane collimation is set up. The elevation of this plane is obtained by adding B.S. taken on the C.P. from the second position of the level to the R.L.  C.P The R.L. of successive point and second C.P. are found by subtract these staff reading from the elevation of second plane of collimation Arithmetical check 
Sum of B.S. – sum of F.S. = last R.L. – First R.L.

This method is simple and easy.

Reduction of levels is easy.
Visualization is not necessary regarding the nature of the ground.
There is no check for intermediate sight readings
This method is generally used where more number of readings can be taken with less number of change points for constructional work and profile leveling.

2. Rise and Fall Method:


It consists of determining the difference of elevation between consecutive points by comparing each point after the first that immediately preceding it. The difference between there staff reading indicates a rise fall according to the staff reading at the point. The R.L is then found adding the rise to, or subtracting the fall from the reduced level of preceding point.

Arithmetic check

Sum of B.S. – sum of F. S. = sum of rise – sum of fall = last R. L. – first R.L.

This method is complicated and is not easy to carry out.
Reduction of levels takes more time.
Visualization is necessary regarding the nature of the ground.
Complete check is there for all readings.
This method is preferable for check leveling where numbers of change points are more.

Basic definitions:

 Bench Mark and Reference Datum In order to calculate the heights of points a datum is required, i.e. a reference level. This is usually the mean sea level. For this purpose, the use of Bench Marks is necessary, and these are classified as follows: Bench Mark (BM) – a point with known height above mean sea level (or other reference datum). These are permanent points (e.g. unchanged by weather conditions) and are provided by the Department of Lands and Surveys.
Reduced Level the height of any target point is referred to as Reduced Level (RL), because it is reduced to a known datum.
Back sight (BS) First staff reading taken immediately after setting up the instrument.
Foresight (FS) last staff reading taken before moving the instrument to another location.

Common sources of errors in leveling 


1. Instrument not correctly leveled.
2. Telescope not correctly focused.
3. The wrong cross-hair reading recorded (e.g. top instead of middle).
4. Staff incorrectly read or not held vertical.
5. Staff incorrectly booked.
All the above are mistakes (blunders) and cannot be corrected unless the work is repeated.

Leveling operations 


Now consider Figure 2 below. The level is set up as shown, and using the staff at points A and B, height readings are recorded. This is just the height read through the telescope horizontal line of sight (known as line of collimation). If no reduced level is known only the difference in height can be found between A and B, not their absolute levels. Staff Reading at A is 1.135m Staff Reading at B is 1.875m If we know that RLA = +120.000m (above datum), then RLB = 120.00 – 0.740 = +119.260m i.e. a fall from A. If RLB was known we would calculate a rise in level. Hence, the following can be defined:
Rise – staff reading is less than previous reading.
Fall – staff reading is greater than previous reading.




Experiment (Rise & Fall method):

Aim:


 To determine the required level of given points by Rise and fall method

Apparatus Required:  Automatic level, Tripod and Leveling staff

Procedure:




1. Set up the leveling instrument at Level position 1.
 2. Hold the staff on the Datum (RL+50 m) and take a reading. This will be a back sight, because it is the first staff reading after the leveling instrument has been set up. 
3. Move the staff to A and take a reading. This will be an intermediate sight.
4. Move the staff to B and take a reading. This also will be an intermediate sight.
5. Move the staff to C and take a reading. This will be another intermediate sight.
6. Move the staff to D and take a reading. This will be a foresight; because after this reading the level will be moved. (A change plate should be placed on the ground to maintain the same level.)
7. The distance between the stations should be measured and recorded in the field book (see Table 1)
 8. Set up the level at Level position 2 and leave the staff at D on the change plate. Turn the staff so that it faces the level and take a reading. This will be a back sight.
9. Move the staff to E and take a reading. This will be an intermediate sight.
10. Move the staff to F and take a reading. This will be a foresight; because after taking this reading the level will be moved.
11. Now move the level to Leveling position 3 and leave the staff at F on the change plate. 
Now repeat the steps describe 8 to 10 until you finished at point J.
Field procedures for leveling for vertical control the level survey should start and close on points of known height (same point or different). If the survey starts and closes on the same point (e.g. a TBM), as below, this is termed as a closed level survey.









Arithmetic checks (necessary for checking the reduction)
 

Σ (BS) - Σ (FS) = Σ (RISES) – Σ (FALLS) = LAST (RL) – FIRST (RL) = Allowable misclosure = ±5 √n mm       

  ; where n = no. of instrument positions.
