How to make tape corrections for a pull at survey measurements?/ How to calculate true measurement by pull correction of a tape?

 Eg:

A 760m. distance is measured by applying a pulling force of  90N over the 30m. tape. The tape was made at 50N tensile force. Find the true length of the line if the cross-sectional area of the tape is 0.04cm². Modulus of elasticity = 21х 10⁶ N/cm².


To find:

The true distance between the points. = L =?


Calculation:




The true length 

 L = [ Measured length + pull correction.]

 L = [ L1 + Cp ]


Now,

The pull correction is calculated by the formula

Cp = [{( Pm - Po ) ÷ A х E } х L1]

Where,

Cp = Correction for pull = ?

Pm = Applied force over tape for pulling = 90N.

Po = Std. pulling force of tape = 50N.

A = Cross-sectional area of tape. = 0.04cm²

E = Modulus of elasticity of tape material =  21х 10⁶ N/cm².

L1 = Measured distance between the points = 760m.

Cp = [{( 90 - 50 ) ÷ 0.04 х  21х 10⁶ } х 760]

     = [{ 40 ÷ 0.84 х 10⁶ } х 760]

Cp = 0.0362m.


The true length 

 L = [ L1 + Cp ]

    = [ 760m. + 0.0362m.]

  L = 760.0362m.

Thank you for going through these calculation steps. Have a good day 😄.
