Exercise #1

A→BM125 Elevation=480.345+x
B→BM126 Elevation=? Elevation of point A (BM125)
x=10m A=480.345m + 10m
A=490.345m

In order to calculate elevation of point B,

these data has been given:

FS1 → = 2.077m BS1 → = 1.077m

FS2 → = 1.054m BS2 → = 4.032m
FS3 → = 0.687m BS3 → = 3.015m
FS4 → = 0.540m BS4 → = 2.135m

LOCATION 1
HI(1) = BM125 + BS1 TP(1) = HI(1) - FS1
HI(1) = 490.345 + 1.077 TP(1) = 491.422 - 2.077
HI(1) = 491.422m TP(1) = 489.345m
LOCATION 2
HI(2) = TP1 + BS2 TP(2) = HI(2) - FS2
HI(2) = 489.345 + 4.032 TP(2) = 493.377 - 1.054
HI(2) = 493.377m TP(2) = 492.323m

LOCATION 3
HI(3) = TP2 + BS3 TP(3) = HI(3) - FS3
HI(3) = 492.323 + 3.015 TP(3) = 495.338 - 0.687
HI(3) = 495.338m TP(3) = 494.651m

LOCATION 4
HI(4) = TP3 + BS4 B126 = HI(4) - FS4
HI(4) = 494.651 + 2.135 B126 = 496.786 - 0.540
HI(4) = 496.786m B126 = 496.246m

ELEVATION OF POINT B126 IS 496.246 m

HI → Height of instrument

TP → Turning point

BS → Backsight

FS → Foresight
