| Course contents :
| According to historical evolution of the equipment and methods of resolution of topometry, the course initially proposes some definitions, in particular that of plane projection. Then, the elementary instruments, the direct measurement of horizontal distances and perpendicular alignments are examined. The modern instrumentation is approached by the description of the essential bodies of the instruments: the sliding gauge, the micrometer, the bubble and glasses. A long chapter is devoted to direct levelling and the various types of levels. Then, modern planimetry is approached through the measurement of the angles and the distances, where one tries to eliminate the effects of the most important instrumental errors . About the methodologies, the course treats the frames of reference and methods of fastening. Lastly, a lesson is devoted to the use of satellites (GPS and Galileo) in topography. | |
