LEVELING - Caltrans
UNIT 6 LEVELING Bill Jackson, PLS Carrol Leong, PLS California Department of Water Resources Introduction LEVELING is a general term used in land surveying that applies to vertical measurements. Vertical measurements are made and referenced to datums, as elevations. The reference datum might be an arbitrary elevation chosen for convenience or a very precise value determined after lengthy studies. The standard reference datum used throughout California is mean sea level, based on the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD 1929). Three methods used to measure differences in elevation are direct vertical measurement, trigonometric LEVELING , and differential LEVELING . It is important to understand the procedure, equipment and note keeping format used for each method. Caltrans LS/LSIT Video Exam Preparation Course Performance Expected on the Exams Define the terms curvature and refraction, be able to calculate their combined effects and explain the procedure used to limit their effects.
Given field measurements, calculate the difference in elevation between two stations using trigonometric leveling method. Explain, interpret, reduce and adjust differential leveling notes.
