    This document provides instructions for Laboratory Exercise #3 on Differential Leveling. The materials needed include a measuring tape, transit, measuring rods/staffs, field notebook, stakes, and ballpen. The methods involve assigning survey team roles, setting up the tripod and leveling the instrument, taking leveling readings along a profile route using differential leveling, three-wire leveling, and profile leveling, calculating elevations, and conducting an arithmetic check of the data. Students are to tabulate their leveling data, provide a profile plot of the surveyed route, and submit a summary report of the laboratory exercise.

    The document describes the process and objectives of conducting a laboratory exercise on differential leveling using three different leveling methods.

    The three leveling methods described are differential leveling, three-wire leveling, and profile leveling.

    The steps involved in conducting differential leveling include selecting a temporary benchmark, taking a backsight reading, selecting turning points, taking foresight readings, computing elevations, and repeating the process between stations.

    Laboratory Exercise #3

    Differential Leveling

    Materials:

    1 Measuring tape Field Notebook/Paper


    1 Transit Ballpen
    2 Measuring rod/staff Chalk
    5 Wooden stakes

    Methods:

    1. Survey Team: Assign every designation of your survey team.


    2. Setting up of Tripod: Follow the procedures in the book Elementary Surveying by Juny P. La-Putt pp.
    147-150 (Leveling the Instrument).
    3. Field Notebook: Follow the format used in the book Elementary Surveying by Juny P. La-Putt
    4. We will conduct Three-wire leveling along with Differential Leveling.
    5. Select a point or location as your temporary benchmark (TBM). You may assume the elevation of the
    selected point/location. You may also use a GPS device or any application on your phone to identify
    the elevation thru GPS.
    * Always pin stakes on locations of TBM and turning points (TP)
    6. Position your measuring rod/staff at the TBM and take reading as your backsight. Record your upper
    and lower readings as this will be used for the three-wire leveling. Compute the height of instrument
    (HI). You can use the middle stadia reading and the HI for both Differential, Three-wire and Profile
    Leveling.
    7. Select a location/point for your Turning Point (TP 1). Make a reading for your foresight. Record your
    upper, lower, and middle stadia readings. Compute the elevation of TP 1.
    8. We will conduct Profile Leveling along with Differential Leveling and Three-wire Leveling.
    9. With your instrument, select intermediate points/plus stations for your route to be profiled (assume
    you are profiling an irrigation/drainage canal. You can make at least 3 IP/PS).

    * Take note that our approach is different from the book which is to establish first the survey
    line/route before setting up the level instrument. Preferable distance of instrument from the route is
    20m but we will use a minimum of 10m.
    10. Make a reading on your selected stations (No need to read upper and lower stadia in Profile
    Reading).
    11. Compute your elevation on each station before proceeding to next turning point (TP 2).
    12. Select the next location for the instrument set-up.
    13. After set-up, take a reading on the TP 1 as your backsight (don’t forget to take upper and lower stadia
    readings for three-wire leveling). Determine your new HI.
    14. Select new location for the TP2. Take stadia readings as your foresight.
    Determine the elevation at TP2.

    * Again, you can use the values taken from backsight of TP1, computed HI and foresight at TP2 on all
    leveling methods.

    15. Select new locations for your IP/PS (no need to read upper and lower hair).
    Determine the elevation of your IP/PS.
    16. Proceed and repeat the same process at your last/end station (another TBM). Determine the
    elevation at end station.
    17. Conduct arithmetic check of your survey data on all three leveling methods.
    18. Provide a Profile Plot of your surveyed route. .
