LEVELING
ADJUSTMENT
GE 105 – Theory of Errors and Adjustments
PEG METHOD OF
ADJUSTMENT
In a two peg test using dumpy level, the following observations were taken:
1. What is the true difference in elevation between A and B?
2. Determine the error in the line of sight for the net distance AB ?
3. Determine the correct reading at A that will give level line of sight with the instrument still at point P.

Rod reading @ P 0.75m 1.906m
Rod reading @ Q 2.766m 3.789m
Point 1 is on the line PQ and midway between P and Q. Point 2 is on the same line as P and Q but not between them. Point 2 is 25m from P and 230m from Q. With the wye level at point 2, what is the rod reading at P for a level sight?

Adjustment of LEVEL CIRCUITS
The known elevation of BM1 is 728.730m. A 30,500m long level circuit is run, closing back on BM1 with an elevation, as determined from the notes, of 728.486m. The observed elevations of other bench marks which were established during the run, and their distances from the initial bench mark are given as follows:
