Fieldwork 2: Traverse Survey

Introduction
Traverse survey is a series of indivisible points at which angles are measured
and between the distances measured. There are 3 types of traverse, they are closed
polygonal traverse, closed link traverse and open traverse.(n.a. ,2013)
In this field work we were told to construct a four sided polygon and measure
the length and angle of the polygon. In order to carry out our field work the equipment
we used where the Ranging rod, Automatic level (dumpy level), tripod, measuring
tape and a plumb bob.

Equipment
Ranging Rod
The base of the ranging are mostly made by wood or steel. (Ahmad, 1996) Thenumber of section of the rod are normally 2 or 3 and the diameter of the rod is 1.5mm.
(Ahmad, 1996) Most of the ranging rod was PVC coated so that it is more durable
and weather resistant.
Figured 10: Ranging rod
Normally ranging rod is used for calculating direction and angle.
Autom at ic Level (Dumpy Level)
Dumpy level look like a telescope and the way of using it is almost the same. Usually
it is set-up on a tripod. A levelling staff or rod is needed when calculating level plan
using automatic level. (McCormack, 1997) When using automatic level, make sure it
is true horizontal. (McCormack, 1997) Generally there are three adjustable screw-feet
to adjust the automatic level to horizontal. Staff bubble is used to determine thehorizontality of the automatic level. Figured 2 show an image of an automatic level

Figured 2: Automatic level (McCormack, 1997)
Base on Rolf Moody procedure of using automatic levelFirst, setup a tripod on aground as level as possible, then screw the automatic level on top of the tripod. Afterthat, adjust the bubble inside the staff bubble to the centre, then make sure thecrosshair and the objective lens are perfectly clear. (Rolf, 2008)
Tripod
Figured 3: Tripod (Milligan, 2002)
The above diagram shows a standard tripod used in levelling. They are design insuch it is very stable and help surveyor to have more accurate reading. The leg of the
tripod is adjustable to duel with uneven ground level. A clamp or a screw is used tolock the leg of the tripod after adjusted.

Figured 6: Clamp (left) and Screw (right) (Milligan, 2002)
Make sure the leg is been tighten, because any slight movement of the tripod it have
to set up again and all the recorded value are no long can be use due to the height of
the instrument had change.(Milligan, 2002)
Staf f B ubble
Basically it is use for make sure the equipment like levelling staff and automatic levelare held vertical. (Wong, 2013) To reduce
error. When the bubble are in the circle at
the centre which means the equipment
are vertical. Figured 7 shows a staff
bubble.

Plumb bobs
A plumb-bob is usually a heavy metal with a sharp bottom and attach to a string used
as a reference point. (Boeing, 2003) It is tied to the bottom of automatic level making
sure that the automatic level is at the exactly position or mark the position. (Boeing,2003) It also help maintain the height of the instrument. Figured 8 is an example of a
plumb-bob
Figured 8: Plumb-bob (Boeing, 2003)
Measurin g Tape
Measuring tape is used to measure the distance between one points to other. Usually
Fibre glass tape is used because it is more durable and accurate. (Nosek, 1968)

4.0 Discussions
According to Merriam-Webster, 'error of closure' is define as the sum of the angles of
a traverse as measured minus the true sum required by geometry - called also
closing error. The true sum of quadrilaterals should be 360. However, the totalinterior angles obtained is 359which is 1 lesser than the true sum of the quadrilateral.
Therefore, an error of closure has occurred.
There are many reasons that affect the error for the result of the survey such as
human error. transposition of numbers, neglecting to level an instrument, misplacing
a decimal point, misunderstanding a callout, back sighting an incorrect turning point
or control point, not extending the level rod the full length for a high rod
reading.("Chapter 4 Errors and Maximum Closures", 2005)
In addition to that, other types of error which can also happen, such as systematic
error that is an error that is not determined by chance but is introduced by an
inaccuracy (as of observation or measurement) inherent in the system. ("Systematic
error - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary", 2013) Next,
random errors are a measurement mistake caused by the factors that vary from one
measurement to another; a statistical error due to chance. ("Random error | Define
Random error at Dictionary.com", 2013).
Moreover sources of error can come from 'Personal Error', 'Instrument Error' and
'Natural Error'. Personal error is due to physical limitations and observing habit of the
observer. ("Chapter 4 Errors and Maximum Closures", 2005) Instrument error is
caused by imperfections in the design construction and adjustment of instruments
and other equipments. ("Chapter 4 Errors and Maximum Closures", 2005) Lastly,
natural error is sourced by natural physical conditions such as atmospheric pressure,
temperature, humidity, wind, gravity and atmospheric refraction. ("Chapter 4 Errorsand Maximum Closures", 2005)
The errors can be corrected by carrying out adjustment by equally balancing the
interior angles and using the 'Compass Rule' as shown in the calculations below.
