Question

In levelling, which of the following is an advantage of the rise and fall method over the height of instrument method?

A.

It is relatively rapid

B.

No backsight is required at change points

C.

Check on the calculations for intermediate sights are done

D.

No benchmark is required to calculate the Reduced level of each point

Correct option is C


Rise and Fall Method :
⇒ Rise and fall method is used for fly leveling, profile leveling.
⇒ Rise and fall method provides check on fore sight, back sight and intermediate sight.
⇒ ΣBS-ΣFS=ΣRise-ΣFall=Last RL-First RL
Height of Instrument Method (HI) :
⇒ It is also known as line of collimation method.
⇒ If number of intermediate sight is more than HI method is adopted.
⇒ It is used for small areas.
⇒ It does not provide check on intermediate sight.
⇒ Check : ΣBS-ΣFS= Last RL – First RL
