Hunter short base
 Short base is called hunter’s short base by Dr.
Hunter who was director of the survey of the
India.
 The short base consist of the four chain and each
chain 20.117m long.
chain 20.117m long.
 Each chain support between two stand.
 There are main five stand and in this five stand
there are three stand of the two legged and two
main stand are three legged.
Hunter short base
 Three legged stand are fixed at the end.
 The end of the chain is fixed at the both end.
 The weight of 1kg is suspended at the end of the chain so all
the chain are in the tensile form and make chain straight.
 The length of the joints between two chains at intermediate
support are measured .
 To obtain correct length between the centers of the target usual
correction for temperature ,sag, slope, tension, reduction to
MSL. Etc. are applied.
Setting up Hunter’s Short
base
 Marked the station A and B.
 Station A marked with red colour and station B marked with
green colour.
 The stand of A is centered on the marked ground A.
 The end of the base is hooked with the plate A.
 The another end is fixed at station B.
 At the stand B 1kg of the weight is attached at the end of the
lever.
 Approximate alignment of the base line checked by eye
judgment and finally is done by using a theodolite.
Correction to base line measurement
 The following correction to the base line measurement
are apply to get the correct length of the base line.
i. Correction for absolute length
ii. Correction for temperature
iii. Correction for tension
iii. Correction for tension
iv. Correction for sag
v. Correction for slope
vi. Correction for alignment
vii. Correction for MSL (mean sea level)
Correction for absolute length
 Nature of the correction are +ve or –ve.
 If the actual length of the tap is not equal to the nominal or
designated length, a correction will be applied to measure the
line.
 If the actual length of the tap is greater than the nominal length
 If the actual length of the tap is greater than the nominal length
the measured distance is too short and the correction will be
additive.
 If the actual length of the tap is shorter than the nominal length
the measured distance is too long and the correction will be
negative.
• Ca = (L * C) / l
• Where Ca = Correction for actual length
L = Measured length of line
C = Correction per tap length
l = designated length of the tap
Correction for temperature
Nature of the correction are +ve or –ve.
The length of the is increase or decrease with
increase or decrease in temperature.
Ct = α (Tm – Ts) L
Ct = α (Tm – Ts) L
Where Ct = correction of temperature in m
α = Co-efficient of the thermal expansion
Tm = Mean temperature during measurement
Ts = standard temp. for tap
L = length of the tap in m
The average value of the thermal expansion
for steel 12 x 10-6 and for invar tape 0.9 x 10-
6 per degree Celsius.
C will be positive if T > T and Ct will be
Ct will be positive if Tm > Ts and Ct will be
negative if Tm < Ts
Correction for tension (Pull)
E may be taken
E = 2.1 X 107 N/mm2 for steel
E = 1.5 X 107 N/mm2 for invar
The correction may be positive or negative is
according to pm is greater or less than Ps and
Pm
Correction for sag
Nature of the correction is +ve or –ve
When a tap is stretched between two support,
it takes the form of sag which is assumed to be
parabolic curve.
parabolic curve.
In the sag correction is always –ve.
Correction for slope
The correction for the slope are required when
the point of support are not at the same level.
Correction for misalignment
Generally line is set out as a straight line.
But some time necessary to bent path due to an
obstruction.
The bent line is composed of a two straight
The bent line is composed of a two straight
lines.
• AC = l1 and CB = l2
• BAC = θ1 and ABC = θ2
• AB = l1 Cos θ1 + l2 Cos θ2
• The require correction for alignment = Cm
• Cm = (l1 + l2) – (l1 Cos θ1 + l2 Cos θ2)
• Cm = (l1 + l2) – (l1 Cos θ1 + l2 Cos θ2)
Reduction to mean sea level
 The measured length of a line at an altitude of h meter above
the mean sea level will be more as compare to the
corresponding line on the mean sea level.
• Here;
• L = measured horizontal distance an altitude of
h meter above the mean sea level.
• D = distance reduced to mean sea level
• h = altitude above the mean sea level
• R = Radius of Earth
• Θ = the angle subtended by line AB
• Θ = the angle subtended by line AB
• From the property of the circle
• L = (R + h) θ
• D = R θ
Measurement of the
horizontal angle
 After the base line measurement the next procedure is to make the
triangle.
 For making the triangle the horizontal angle is required.
 Horizontal angle are also measured with the help of the electronic
theodolite for primary and secondary triangle.
 For the tertiary triangle generally transit theodolite is used.
 For the tertiary triangle generally transit theodolite is used.
 There are main two method is used to find out the horizontal angle.
i. Method of repetition
ii. Method of reiteration
Method of repetition
 In this method the angle are measured in number of time
repeatedly.
 Taking face left and face right reading.
 To measure the angle ABC, make six face left reading and
angle measured in clockwise direction and find the average of
angle measured in clockwise direction and find the average of
the reading.
 To measure the angle ABC, make six face right reading and
angle measured in anti clockwise direction and find the
average of the reading.
Method of reiteration
 The method of the reiteration is used when a number of angle
are to be measured at a triangulation station.
 This method uses the principle of closing of horizon, the
reading should be same as the initial reading.
 If any error seen so error is distributed in all the angle.
 If any error seen so error is distributed in all the angle.
 One of the triangulation station, which is likely to be visible
may be selected as a reference point.
 In this method face left and face right reading are taken in
number of time and then after the average reading we get is the
final reading.
Satellite station and reduction to
Centre
 For clearly seen the station and make well conditioned triangle,
sometimes high objects like church spire, tower, temple, etc. are
selected as a triangulation station.
 It is impossible to set the instrument exactly over or under the
such station to measure the angle.
such station to measure the angle.
 In this case subsidiary station is selected near the main station
as a instrument station and this subsidiary station are called
satellite or eccentric station.
 Observation are taken to other station from the subsidiary
station.
 The distance between the true station to satellite station is called
satellite distance.
 The angle of the satellite station are measured same care taken no
any type of the error done for taking reading.
 The operation of applying the correction due to the satellite station
is generally known as reduction to centre.
 Fro each angle at the true station one additional angle at the
satellite station must be measured.
 Satellite station must be avoided in primary triangulation.
 Fig shows the different cases that can be regarding the position of
the satellite station relative to the true station.
