Fieldwork 2

Differential leveling is a method for determining the elevation of points along a level route by taking repeated level measurements between points of known and unknown elevation. The document outlines the objectives, equipment, and procedures for performing a differential leveling fieldwork, which involves designating initial and final benchmark points, taking level readings while moving the instrument and rod between points, and analyzing the collected data to determine point elevations. A sample data tabulation format and report outline are provided to document the fieldwork results.

FIELDWORK #2

DIFFERENTIAL LEVELING

I. INTRODUCTION

Slab, decks, sidewalk, curbs, these are just the few structures that needed determination
of elevation prior to construction. In these instances, establishing elevation is important and one
of the most basic means of determining elevation is through differential leveling. (Vijayaraja,
2013)
Differential leveling is defined as the method of establishing the elevation of points some
distance apart by a series of set-ups of the instrument along the general route. A rod reading back
to a point of known elevation and forward to a point of unknown elevations is taken for each set-
up.

II. OBJECTIVES
1. To determine the elevation of points through differential leveling

III. EQUIPMENT
1. Automatic Level
2. Leveling Rod
4. Range pole
5. Hammer or Mallet
6. Chalk

IV. PROCEDURE:
1. Designate the initial or reference point of the level route as BM-1 and the final or
terminal point as BM-2.
2. Set up and level the instrument at a convenient location along the general designated
route between the two points.
3. Take and record the backsight on BM-1.
4. Direct the rodman to move forward along the level route (not necessarily in a straight
line between BM-1 and the next point) and establish TP-1.
5. Take and record a foresight in TP-1.
6. Transfer and set-up the level at another suitable location beyond TP-1 and take and
record a backsight on TP-1.
7. Direct the rodman to move a convenient distance ahead of the instrument and establish
TP-2.
8. Take and record a foresight on TP-2.
9. Repeat the procedure until a foresight is finally taken on BM-2.

V. ANALYSIS
1. Tabulate observed and computed values accordingly. Refer to the accompanying
sample format tabulation of data.
2. Based on the data presented in the video, write a comprehensive report of the
laboratory exercise.
