An Efficient Methodology for Detecting the Vertical Movement of Structures

Details regarding the public safety of engineering structures can be gleaned from measurements and monitoring. The development a methodology for monitoring analyzing structures' vertical displacement is explained in this paper. developed aims to add new dimension geometric leveling, leveling routing, by applying least squares solution level network adjustment performing statistical analysis assess change displacement. To monitor analyze deformation building Cairo, Egypt, proposed was utilized. Twenty points, five auxiliary three local reference stations were All taken with geodetic invar staff an automatic attachment parallel plate micrometer. observations made interval 81 months. technique applied obtain adjusted levels generate required data. results subsequent epochs compared first epoch determine movement points each epoch. In addition, significance present ascertained comparing values determined 95% corresponding confidence intervals. findings demonstrated that remained stable throughout period. case study demonstrates how effectively square used structures.
