Hello participants,

Welcome you all ,

In this course, we are going to learn the study & use of theodolite surveying. The system of surveying in which the angles are measured with the help of a theodolite is called Theodolite surveying. A theodolite is a precision optical instrument for measuring angles between designated visible points in the horizontal and vertical planes.

Objective of course are as below.

Describe the function of surveying in civil engineering construction.

Explain basics of theodolite surveying and differentiate the instruments used for it.

The angular measurement with theodolite.

The course include the total 5 small videos. This course include basic information about theodolite survey , different parts of theodolite , adjustments of a theodolite , adjustment of theodolite , measurements of horizontal and vertical angle and sources of errors. It will help to understand theodolite to Civil engineering students.

1) Introduction of Theodolite survey :
