Direct Methods of Measuring
Distances
Pacing
Measuring distance by counting
steps (paces).
Distance is calculated by
multiplying the number of paces by
the individuals pace factor(usually
every step one meter ).
Advantages
Simple
Low tech
No specialized equipment
10
Disadvantages
Topography affects accuracy
Requires practice to take a consistent pace.
Must be able to traverse the distance..
With practice, accuracy is about 2% of distance paced
Car Odometer
measuring the distance passed over by any
wheeled vehicle
An instrument attached to the wheel of a vehicle,
to measure the distance traversed.
Error 1% of distance
An odometer wheel is a wheel
which uses an odometer to count
the rotations of the wheel. Use
for long rout distance like
(highway, railway )
Advantages
Easy to use
Low tech
Disadvantages
Accuracy is influenced by surface
conditions.
Must be able to traverse distance.
Error 1% of distance

14. Measuring tape
A tape measure or measuring tape is a flexible form of ruler. It
consists of a tape of( cloth, plastic, fiber glass, or metal strip) with
linear-measurement markings.

15. Distance Measuring Methods-Taping
15
Advantages
High precision
accuracy
Can be used to measure horizontal
distances.
Disadvantages
Multiple people
Must have a clear, travelable route.
High precision requires temperature and
tension correction.
Error 0.1% of distance.
Tape
16. Type of Tape
The following are the various types of tapes
Cloth tape
Shrinkage with water
Flexible with tension
Do not broken under load
Metallic tape(Fiberglass)
Less Shrinkage with water
Less Flexible with tension
Do not broken under load
16
17. Type of Tape
17
Invar Tapes: accurate tape made of steel (65%) & Nickel (35%)
but they
are very expensive
Easy broken .
Steel tape
Easy broken
High accuracy
No effect by tension
May caused injured skin
20. Equipment for Taping
Pins
are used to mark tape lengths.
Most taping pins are made of steel
20
21. Equipments for Taping
Range Pole (Range Rod)
are used in taping applications for sighting
points, marking ground points and for lining up surveyors
red and white to make them more easily seen. Each band.
21
22. Equipments for Taping
Survey Pegs
wooden (square or circular cross-section) & steel
Use to mark point on the land
22
23. Equipments for Taping
Plumb Bob
are typically made of brass. Bobs are used to get a
plumb (straight) vertical line to a definite point,
typically
bobs should be used for higher or greater heights.
23
30. Uneven Ground
To measure horizontal distance with a tape , a level and
plumb bob must be used.
The tape is held level, horizontal, and the measurement at
the elevated end is transferred using a plumb bob.

31. Slope correction
31
For example :
s = 30.589 m
q = 2.5o
DH = 1.334 m
then
h = 30.589 cos(2.5)
h = 30.560 m
To calculate the horizontal distance :
h = s cosq or h = (s2 - DH2)1/2
q
horizontal distance = h
DH
Or.
s = 30.589 m
DH = 1.334 m
then
h = (30.5892 - 1.3342)1/2
h = 30.560 m

42. Pythagoras
Provided right-angle triangle (3-4-5) ratio to lay out XZ at 90
degrees to XY a twelve unit tape would have knots tied at
unit positions 3 and 7 as shown in figure. One surveyor held
the three unit knot at X the second surveyor held the seven
unit knot at Y and the third surveyor holding both loose ends
of the tape. Stretched the tape tightly resulting in the location
of point Z.
These early surveyors knew that multiplies 3:4:5 e.g (6:8:10),
(30:40:50) would produce more accurate positioning.
