Abstract:

The monitoring of engineering structures’ movement is one of precise surveying activities. In order to obtain optimal accuracies for deformation parameters, the procedure of movement observation should contain appropriate technical approaches in both measurement and data processing. The control network for the deformation monitoring is characterized by its repeated measurement and a fixed configuration throughout all of observations. Hence, an adjustment method using different measurements of two cycles is applied to process the observation data of structures’ movement. In this study, The adjustment method was used to process the horizontal movement of engineering structures. Based on the theory of this method, the study proposed a new processing data approach that consists of algorithms and a proper processing procedure. The results of the numerical experiments showed the effectiveness of the developed method
