ASCE Revised: 10/29/2006 Page 1 216-687-3874 Stilwell Hall 114 CVE 212 - Surveying Lab #6 MEASURING DISTANCES USING STADIA METHODS EQUIPMENT Transit or theodolite with STADIA hairs and tripod Philadelphia leveling rod field book No. 3 drafting pencil INTRODUCTION When DISTANCES between traverse stations are determined by the STADIA method, the resulting survey is called a STADIA traverse. The STADIA method, referred to as tacheometry in Europe, is a rapid and efficient way to measure DISTANCES in order to locate topographic details. The term STADIA comes from the Greek word for a unit of length originally applied in MEASURING DISTANCES for athletic contests.
