Linear Measurements (Chain Survey)
Linear Measurements, Procedure in Chain Surveying,Basic Definition of Chain Surveying- Main Station, Tie Station, Main Survey Line, Tie Line/ Subsidiary Line, Base Line, Check Line/ Proof Line, Offset, Chainage, Well Conditioned Triangle. Linear Measurement with Chain- On Smooth Level Ground, On Sloping Ground. Errors & Correction in Chaining/ Taping, Type of Error in Chaining, Correction in Chaining & Taping Are Following Type- Correction For Standardisation, Correction for Slope (Cg), Correction for Pull (Tension), Correction for Temperature (Ct), Correction for Sag (Csag), Reduction of length to mean sea level (MSL), Field Work in Chain Surveying- Reconnaissance, Marking of Stations, Running Survey Lines, Taking Offsets. Limiting Length of Offsets- Error only in laying offset, Error in laying direction and liner measurement.

Theodolite Survey (Classification of Theodolite, Components of a Vernier Theodolite, Temporary & Permanent Adjustment)
A theodolite is an important instrument used for measuring horizontal and vertical angles in surveying. The system of surveying in which the angles (both horizontal & vertical) are measured with the help of a theodolite, is called Theodolite surveying.
In compass surveying each control point is established with the help of linear and angular measurements and this process is termed as traversing. Traverse, Meridian, Bearing are discussed in detailed.
