The application of this technique isdifficult, time consuming, and expensive, especially i

As a result of modern high-tech instrument developments, research has again been focused on precisiontrigonometric leveling. In this study, a leap-frog trigonometric leveling (LFTL) is

11、Principle of Unidirectional Trigonometric Leveling Trigonometric leveling is the determination of height differencesby means of the measured zenith angles and the slope distance.Similar to geometric leveling, the height difference between twoturning points (benchmarks) is computed as the sum of seve
12、ralsingle height differences obtained from each settlement. The measurement model of the unidirectional trigonometricleveling (UDTL) is illustrated in Fig. 1. The total station is set upat only one point and the observations are performed only in onedirection. In Fig. 1, Zij=geodetic (ellipsoidal) z

14、hij=height difference from Pito Pj. The height differencehij is formulated as hij = Sij cosZij + Sij22Rm sin2Zij Sij ij + dZr (sinZij ) (1) where the first term is the nominal height difference, the secondterm is the spherical effect of the earth, and the third term is thetotal effect due to the dev

The coefficient of refraction, kij, is defined as the ratio betweenthe refraction angle dZri and half of the center angle ij(Ruegerand Brunner 1982); i.e. kij = dZriij2 (2) and dZri = ij2 kij (3) The center angle,ij, can b
16、e computed as ij Sij sin Zij2Rm (4) If ijis introduced into Eq. (3), the model error due to therefraction effect, dZri , is obtained as follows: dZij = Sij sin Zij2Rm kij (5) The height difference between the station points Pi and Pj viaunidirectional zenith angle observation is obtained from Eqs. (
17、1) and (5) hij=SijcosZij-SijsinZijij+ SijsinZij 22 (1 ) (6) In practice, the effect of deviation of plumb line is very smallbecause the zenith angles observed along the sight lengths are notlonger than 500 m. Thus, the second term in Eq. (6) can be ignored (Rueger and Brunner 1982). As a result, the height differencebetween the station points, Pi and Pj, is computed fromUDTL observations as Principle of Leap-Frog Trigonometric Leveling Observation of leap-frog trigonometric leveling (LFTL) was performedin back and foresight reading at one setup of the totalstation between two turning points,
