What Is Hi Method?
HI method means Height of Instrument method. Leveling has 2 method of surveying 1) HI method 2) Rise Fall method. When we fix level by use this method 'BS BM RL+BS=HI-FS' ,that's called HI method. When we fix level by use this method 'BS-FS=Rise/Fall+BS BM RL' ,that's called HI method .

.

Similarly, you may ask, how do you calculate hi method?

  1. Height of Instrument (HI) method: consider the readings taken in the operation shown below:
  2. RL of a point = HI – FS = ( RLBM +BS) – FS.
  3. Arithmetic check: ΣBS – ΣFS= Last RL – first R.
  4. Rise and fall (RF) method: the rise or fall of the ground between successive rod stations is considered. For the same instrument set up,

Also, what is the rise and fall method? Rise and Fall Method: It consists of determining the difference of elevation between consecutive points by comparing each point after the first that immediately preceding it. The difference between there staff reading indicates a rise fall according to the staff reading at the point.

Similarly, it is asked, what is HI survey?

ul><li>Height of Instrument (HI) : The elevation of the line of sight with respect to assumed datum is known as HI. h) Back sight : (B.S.) - The first sight taken on a levelling staff held at a point of known elevation. B.S. enables the surveyor to obtain HI +sight i.e. Height of Instrument or line of sight.

What is instrument height?

v ′in·str?·m?nt] (engineering) In survey leveling, the vertical height of the line of collimation of the instrument over the station above which it is centered, or above a specified datum level. In spirit leveling, the vertical distance from datum to line of sight of the instrument.

What are the types of Levelling?

Based on the observation points and instrument positions direct leveling is divided into different types as follows:
  • Simple leveling.
  • Differential leveling.
  • Fly leveling.
  • Profile leveling.
  • Precise leveling.
  • Reciprocal leveling.

What is Levelling principle?

The principle of levelling is to obtain horizontal line of sight with respect to which vertical distances of the points above or below this line of sight are found.
