How To Measure Height Of Buildings Using Theodolites and Leveling Machine

The following videos systematically demonstrate the method that is useful to determine the height of any kind of buildings with the assistance of theodolite.

Step 1: Centralizing and bubbling the instrument at the station.

Step 2: Place Staff at the base point of the building and read the Staff; it should be recorded as H1.

Step 3: Focus the instrument on the bottom of the Staff and then read the vertical angle and also record it as (Φ1).

Step 4: Focus the instrument over the peak point of the building and again read the vertical angle and record it as (Φ2).

Now moving on to the next video; here in this short video, you will learn to apply the basic formula to find out the horizontal distance using the leveling machine.

The formula we will apply is as follows:
