Lecture #9. Theodolite Traversing PART-II (W24)

The document outlines the process of theodolite traversing in engineering surveying, focusing on the computation of latitude and departure for closed traverses. It emphasizes that the algebraic sums of latitudes and departures must equal zero and describes the application of Bowditch's rule for corrections. Additionally, it includes a problem for calculating the area of a traverse using coordinate methods.

The algebraic sum of latitudes and algebraic sum of
departures must be equal to zero in case of closed
traverse.

In this example, corrections are to be applied for


both latitudes and departures by Bowditch’s rule.

After calculating correction
values, add latitude and
departure of consecutive
co-ordinates with their
respective corrections and
fill the columns of
corrected consecutive co-
