WHAT IS ERROR IN SURVEYING?
•difference between the true value
and the measured value of a
quantity.
EXAMPLE:
• An engineer measured a distance using steel tape. He laid
out his steel tape from point A to point B and measured
101.5 cm, but he knew that the distance from point A to
point B was 100 cm. Determine the error in percentage.
TYPES OF ERRORS
•1. SYSTEMATIC ERRORS
•2. ACCIDENTAL ERRORS
SYSTEMATIC ERRORS
One which will always have the same sign and magnitude as
long as field conditions remain constant and unchanged.
ACCIDENTAL ERRORS
- The occurrence of such errors are matters of
chance as they are likely to be positive or negative,
and may tend in part to compensate or average out
according to laws of probability.
SOURCES OF ERRORS
1. Instrumental Erros
2. Natural Errors
3. Personal Errors
INSTRUMENTAL ERRORS
- Due to imperfections of the instrument used,
either from faults in their construction or from
improper adjustments between the different
parts prior to their use.
NATURAL ERRORS
- Caused by variations in the phenomena of nature
such as changes in magnetic declination,
temperature, humidity, wind, refraction, gravity, and
curvature of the earth.
PERSONAL ERRORS
- Arise from the limitations of the senses
of sight, touch and hearing of the human
observer which are likely to be erroneous
or inaccurate.
MISTAKES
- Inaccuracies in measurements which
occur because some aspect of a
surveying operation is performed by the
surveyor with carelessness, inattention,
poor judgment, and improper execution.
MEASUREMENT OF HORIZONTAL
DISTANCES
1. BY PACING
•Pacing – counting the number of steps or
paces in a required distance.
•Pace – length of a step in walking
FACTORS AFFECTING LENGTH OF PACE:
• o Speed of pacing
• o Roughness of the ground
• o Weight of clothing and shoes used
• o Fatigue on part of the pacer
• o Slope of the terrain
• o Age and sex of the individual
2. BY TAPING
- the use of a tape is the most common method of
measuring horizontal distances
3. BY TACHYMETRY
- also called Tacheometry.
- based on the optical geometry of the instruments
employed (indirect method of measurement)
4. BY GRAPHICAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS
- Unknown distances may be determined
through their relationship with known
distances geometrically.
5. BY MECHANICAL DEVICES
a. Odometer
- a device attached to a wheel for measuring surface
distances
- - precision: 1/200 (on fairly level terrain).
b. Measuring Wheel
- a more portable and self-contained
measuring device than the odometer
c. Optical Rangefinder
- usually handheld or mounted on a small
tripod
- determines distances by focusing
- precision: 1/50 (for distances less than 500
meters)
6. BY PHOTOGRAMMETRY
- measurement of images on a photograph.
- precision: 1/3000 to 1/5000.
