Unit I
HORIZONTAL CONTROL SURVEYING
Definition – Uses and Establishment of Horizontal control – Methods: Triangulation, Traversing and Trilateration – Classification and accuracy – Instruments: Theodolite, Total Station and GNSS – Field procedure for Triangulation, Traversing and Trilateration: Horizontal angle measurements methods – Base line measurement – Elimination of blunder and systematic errors – Computation of weight of observation for length and angle.
Unit II
ADJUSTMENT OF HORIZONTAL CONTROL
Introduction – simple adjustment methods – Error propagation and linearization – Least squares adjustment method for Triangulation, Traversing and Trilateration – least squares adjustment of indirect Observations – least squared adjustment of observations only.
Unit III
