Surveying I: Introduction to Surveying

Levelling, contouring, theodolite work, traversing, tacheometry and curve setting out, explained with the field procedures and the arithmetic behind each one. The practical half of a surveying course.

Sudhashree Munda

Starts from first definitions and works through chain surveying, plane table work, levelling, the theodolite, traversing, trigonometric levelling and tacheometry. Clear diagrams throughout make it a good first surveying text.

Kiran S. R.

A compact introduction to surveying principles, distance measurement and levelling, laid out as a semester course. Short enough to read in one sitting before you pick up a heavier reference.
