Multistation Ex 03

The document describes using a total station to measure the area and volume of an excavated region. It details the experimental setup which involves leveling the total station over ground points and using a prism to locate points around the boundary of the region. Area is calculated by recording boundary points in the station's memory. Volume is found by scanning the region in a polygonal area and recording topographic points from multiple sides. The results show the measured area is 31.359 m2 and volume is 0.060 m3.

Objective :
Engineering Survey for excavated Area and Volume calculation using a Total
Station

Theory:
A total station is an electronic/optical instrument used in modern surveying.
The total station is an electronic theodolite (transit) integrated with an electronic
distance meter (EDM) to read slope distances from the instrument to a particular
point. It records all the data digitally and it used later to prepare survey map or
plan. It is also used to set out the works. A total station consists of a theodolite
with a built-in distance meter (distancer), and so it can measure angles and
distances at the same time. Today’s electronic total stations all have an optional
electronic distance meter (EDM) and electronic angle scanning. The coded
scales of the horizontal and vertical circles are scanned electronically, and then
the angles and distances are displayed digitally. The horizontal distance, the
height difference and the coordinates are calculated automatically and all
measurements and additional information can be recorded. Leica total stations
are supplied with a software package that enables most survey tasks to be
carried out easily, quickly and elegantly. The most important of these pro-
grams are presented in the section "Applications programs". Total stations are
used wherever the positions and heights of points, or merely their positions,
need to be determined.

Apparatus:
1. Multi station
2. prism
3. Tripod

Parts of Multi station:


Main Components of a Total Station are:
 A tripod is used to hold the total station.
 An electronic notebook used to record, calculate and even manipulate the
field data.
 Prism and prism pole which can measure lengths up to 2 km and up to 6-
7 km can be measured with triple prism.
 Battery.
Other components of Multistation are listed below

Experimental Setup:

Levelling-up the instrument:


1.Extend the legs of the tripod as far as is required and tighten the screws
firmly.
2. Set up the tripod so that the tripod plate is as horizontal as possible and the
legs of the tripod are firm in the ground.
3. Now, and only now, place the instrument on the tripod and secure it with the
central fixing screw.

 After setting up the instrument, level it up approximately with thebull’s-


eye bubble.
 Turn two of the foot screws together in opposite directions. The index
finger of your right hand indicates the direction in which the bubble
should move (illustration, top right).
 Now use the third foot screw to center the bubble (illustration, bottom
right).
 To check, rotate the instrument 180°. Afterwards, the bubble should
remain within the setting circle. If it does not, then readjustment is
required .

Setting up the total station


Setting up the total station over a ground point:

1.Place the tripod approximately over the ground point.


2.Inspect the tripod from various sides and correct its position so that the tripod
plate is roughly horizontal and above the ground point (illustration, top left).
3.Push the tripod legs firmly into the ground and use the central fixing screw to
secure the instrument on the tripod.
4.Switch on the laser plummet (or, for older instruments, look through the
optical plummet) and turn the foo to crews so that the laser dot or the optical
plummet is center on the ground point (illustration, top right).
5.Centre the bull’s-eye bubble by adjusting the lengths of the tripod legs
(illustration below).
6.After accurately levelling up the instrument, release the central fixing screw
so that you can displace it on the tripod plate until the laser dot is center
precisely over the ground point.
1. 7.Tighten the central fixing screw again.
Procedure for area:

1. Create a new task on multi station.


2. Select the option "view and edit data".
3. Then place the prism on the area's boundary and record those points on
the multi station's memory.
4. From those gathered points using the prism, we can simply determine the
area of the necessary region.

Calculation for Area

Procedure for volume:

1. Create a new task first.


2. Then click to "view and edit data" and place the prism on the edge of the
needed region up to three times while locating the points from total
station.
3. Select "Scanning option" from the display and proceed to "Create scan
definition" to choose the suitable scanning technique (polygonal area)
now specifying area will be automatically scanned after clicking "start
scan"
4. Move the total station to the other side and set the precise locating points
on the multistation. by following step 2.
5. Now go back to step 3 and do it all over again.
6. After finishing scanning go to “Quick volume” thus the volume is
recorded.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the end of chapter we be able to describe the various component of the
theodolite. After done the practical, we understand how to understand and describe closed
traverse survey. Example of total station, tripod, prism, prismatic Besides that, we know how
to determine the final bearing by using suitable method. Then, we have a knowledge of all the
equipment required to carry out. And then, we know the advantages of bearing and their use
in various survey works. We are to be familiar with the checks and errors and solve them. We
are also to be familiar with various types surveying for detailing and we are know well about
the total station computation and be fluent in it.
