1 Prepare a report about Theodolite What is a Theodolite Why

1- Prepare a report about \"Theodolite\". What is a Theodolite? Why do we use Theodolite in Civil Engineering? Whats the importance of Theodolite in Surveying?

Solution

Theodilite:

The theodolite is a complex instrument used mainly for accurate measurement of horizontal and vertical angle up to 10\" or 20\" depending upon the least count of the instrument.

Because of its various uses, the theodolite is sometimes known as \"Universal Instrument\".

Use of Theodolite in CIvil engineering:

1) measuring horizontal angle

2) measuring vertical angle

3) measuring deflection angle

4) measuring magnetic bearing

5) measuring the horizontal distance between two points

6) finding vertical height of an object

7) finding difference of elevation between various points

8) ranging of a line

Importance of theodilite in Surveying:

The importance of the theodilite is necessary use this instrument to determine angles, distances, depths, etc. To know how the ground is and how to construct here.
