    When the base of the object is inaccessible we use an indirect method of surveying.

    A tachometer is used to measure the distance between the two points with the use of an analytical lens. There are two methods

    1. Stadia method: In this method diaphragm of the tachometer are provided with two stadia hair .the difference between staff intercept gives stadia reading.
    2. Tangential Method: in this method, the tachometer is not provided with stadia hairs, the reading is taken by single horizontal hair.

    D=(f/L)S + (f + d)

    D=horizontal distance between tachometer and stadia rod.

    f/L = multiplying constant

    S= Staff Intercept

    Elevation formula:

    v = KSsin(2©)/2 + Ccos(2©)

    © = Theta= Angle of elevation or depression.

    K & C = Tachometric Constant

    substance method and tangential method is also used to find the elevation between two points.

    Wrought iron is a form of commercial iron containing less than 0.10% of carbon, less than 0.25% of impurities total of sulfur, phosphorus, silicon and manganese, and less than 2% slag by weight. Wrought iron is redshort or hot short if it contains sulfur in excess quantity.

    In steelmaking, impurities such as nitrogen, silicon, phosphorous, sulfur and excess carbon are removed from the source iron and alloying elements such as manganese, nickel, chromium, carbon, and vanadium are added to produce different grades of steel.

    As correctly stated that Fluid is defined as a substance which continuously deforms under applied shear force. Even though only after exceeding a certain shear stress value rheopectic, thixotropic, and Bingham plastic start undergoing shear deformation, it is to note that after that stress value, these substances also deform continuously until the external shear force is removed. Hence, they can be categorized as fluids.

    However, in case of solids under any amount of shear force, they undergo a fixed deformation and do not undergo continuous deformation.

    If a building foundation sits on soft or filled-in soil, the whole building may fail in an earthquake regardless of the advanced engineering techniques employed. Assuming, however that the soil beneath a structure is firm and solid, engineers can greatly improve how the building foundation system will respond to seismic waves.

    Another solution refers to base isolation which involves floating a building above its foundation on a system of bearings, springs or padded cylinders.
