3. Draw a line ‘ae’ perpendicular to ‘ab’ at a. Keep the alidade along ‘ea’ and rotate the plane table till A is bisected. Clamp the table. With b as centre, direct the alidade to sight B and draw the ray ‘be’ to cut ‘ae’ in e.

9 PLANE TABLE SURVEYING – RESECTION: THREE POINT PROBLEM

Aim

Determine the instrument station by three point problem method using

graphical method.

2. Tripod

3. Alidade


5. Trough compass

6. Sprit level

7. Tape

8. Ranging rods

9. Pegs

10. Arrows

Procedure

1. Let us take two points A and B, the plotted positions of which are known. Let C be the point to be plotted. The whole problem is to orient the table at C.

2. Choose an auxiliary point D near C, to assist the orientation at C. Set the table at D in such a way that ‘ab’ is approximately parallel to ‘AB’ (either by compass or by eye judgement). Clamp the table.

3. Keep the alidade at ‘a’ and sight A. Draw the resector. Similarly, draw a resector from b and B to intersect the previous one in d. The position of d is thus got, the degree of accuracy of which depends upon the approximation that has been made in keeping ‘ab, parallel to AB. Transfer the point d to the ground and drive a peg.

4. Keep the alidade at d and sight C. Draw the ray. Mark a point c1 on the ray by estimation to represent the distance DC.

5. Shift the table to C, orient it (tentatively) by taking back sight to D and centre it with reference to c1. The orientation is thus, the same as it was at D.

6. Keep the alidade pivoted at ‘a’ and sight it to A. Draw the ray to intersect with previously drawn ray from D in c. Thus, c is the point



representing the station C, with reference to the approximate orientation made at D.

7. Pivoting the alidade about c, sight B. Draw the ray to intersect with the ray drawn from D to B in b’. Thus b’ is the approximate representation if B with respect to the orientation made at D.

8. The angle between ab and ab’ may coincide (or may become parallel) keep a pole P in line with ab’ and at a great distance. Keeping the alidade along ab, rotate the table till P is bisected. Clamp the table. The table is thus correctly oriented.

9. After having oriented the table as above, draw a resector from a to A and another from b to B, the intersection of which will give the position C occupied by the table.

Result

The instrument station C is plotted in the sheet has ‘c’ using plane table

two point problem method.
