Levelling

Muhammad Nadeem Amin Khokar HOD Civil Technology  API Khudian Khas Kasur Levelling Levelling ( or Leveling ) is a branch of surveying, the object of which is: i) to find the elevations of given points with respect to a given or assumed datum, and ii) to establish points at a given or assumed datum. The first operation is required to enable the works to be designed while the second operation is required in the setting out of all kinds of engineering works. Levelling deals with measurements in a vertical plane. Level surface:   A level surface is defined as a curved surface which at each point is perpendicular to the direction of gravity at the point. The surface of a still water is a truly level surface. Any surface parallel to the mean spheroidal surface of the earth is, therefore, a level surface. Level line:   A level line is a line lying in a level surface. It is, therefore, normal to the plumb line at all points. Horizontal plane:   Horizontal plane t...
