    The document provides instructions for conducting a stadia leveling fieldwork exercise. Stadia leveling is a faster method of leveling than differential leveling in rough terrain where high precision is not required. The objective is to determine elevation points using stadia readings and calculations. Instruments include a repeating theodolite, steel tape, leveling rods, and pins. Procedures include setting up the theodolite, taking backsight and foresight readings of the rods, and transferring to new locations. Computations use stadia interval factors, intercepts, angles, and rod

    FIELDWORK # 4
    Title : STADIA LEVELING

    Objective: To determine the elevation of points using stadia method.

    Introduction:
    The stadia method provides a faster method of leveling in rough and hilly terrain where a high
    degree of precision is not required. The process involved is very identical to that in differential leveling.
    The main difference is that the line of sight in stadia leveling does not have to be brought to a horizontal
    position as in differential levleing.

    Site: UST Grandstand

    Instruments :

    1 Repeating Theodolite / Engineer’s transit


    1 Steel Tape
    2 Leveling Rods
    Marking Pins / Marker
    1 Plumb Bob

    Procedure :

    1. Set up and level the instrument at any convenient location along the designated survey route. The
    telescope do not have to be leveled.

    2. Take a backsight on the rod held at the bench mark and observe and record the upper, middle and
    lower stadia hair readings, as well as the vertical angle.

    3. Establish a turning point ahead of the instrument station and along the general direction of the survey
    route.

    4. Take a foresight on the rod held at the turning point and observe and record the same variables.

    5. Transfer the instrument to a new location in advance of the turning point, and repeat the process of
    taking all four readings at each point being sighted. Continue the process until an observation
    (foresight) on the terminal point is taken.

    Computations :

    VD = Ks cos α sin α + c sin α


    DE = RR b − VD b − VDf − RR f

    Where : VD = vertical distance


    K = stadia interval factor
    s = stadia intercept (upper rdg. – lower rdg.)
    c = distance from center of instrument up to principal focus
    = 0 (for internal focusing telescope)
    DE = difference in elevation
    RR = rod reading (middle)
