Discussion: Dynamic Deformation Monitoring of Tall Structure Using GPS Technology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997) -
Jobsite Azimuths Made Easy with Mica
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Finding the direction of a line is done simply and accurately with a multiyear interactive computerized almanac (Mica), a theodolite, and a hand-held programmable calculator. Mica is the Multiyear Interactive Computer ... -
Leveling by GPS Relative Positioning with Carrier Phases
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The successful processing of baseline vectors is an essential step toward the application of GPS surveying techniques to leveling. When carrier phase observables are used, the double-difference integer phase ambiguity ... -
Basic Concepts of <b><i>L</i></b><sub>1</sub> Norm Minimization for Surveying Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)norm minimization is a powerful mathematical tool used in surveying to detect gross errors in survey data. We describe the basic theory underlying -
Finite Sample Breakdown Points of Outlier Detection Procedures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)The conventional iterative outlier detection procedures (CIODP), such as the Baarda-, Pope-, or t-testing procedure, based on the least-squares estimation (LSE) are used to detect the outliers in geodesy. Since the finite ... -
Exploitation of Linear Features in Surveying and Photogrammetry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Modeling of linear features, particularly straight lines and circles, in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) spaces, is developed, with specific consideration of independent descriptors. This is followed by the ... -
Discussions: Intersection of Spiral Curve with Circle
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Geometric Calibration of CCD Camera Using Planar Object
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A method of geometric calibration of charge-coupled device (CCD) vision systems for metric measurement has been developed. The method does not require a special calibration facility or accurately surveyed three-dimensional ... -
Deformation, Alignment, and Vibration in Large Turbine-Generator Set
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Within the Industrial Alignment Project (1990–93) and the Dynamic Alignment Project (1993–96), collaborative research and development efforts involving the Department of Geomatics Engineering at The University of Calgary, ... -
GPS High Accuracy Geodetic Networks in Mexico
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Recently, Mexico's -
Technique for Precise Measurement of Large-Scale Silos and Tanks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Geometric imperfections in thin-shell structures such as silos and tanks need to be measured to assess the buckling strength of the structures, and to develop new structure design criteria. A number of difficulties are ... -
Concept of Lateral Change of Acceleration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Due to the very high speeds on railways and motorways, the relationship between the horizontal and vertical geometry of roads with respect to the road dynamics has become very important. In recent publications, new transition ... -
Discussions and Closure: Survey Distance Units: a Better Way
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Automated Knowledge-Based System for Stereo Video Metrology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A knowledge-based system has been developed to help inexperienced users make measurements from stereo video images. The purpose of the system is to automate much of the routine functions and decision making in photogrammetric ... -
Guest Editorial
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996) -
Simplified Transformation between NAD27 and NAD83 in Southeastern Wisconsin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)With readjustment of the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD27) and promulgation of a new datum, the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), along with refinements to the network based on high precision Global Positioning ... -
Surface Profiling System for Measurement of Engineering Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A surface-profile measurement system is introduced, with emphasis on the design and the measuring principles of the system. Originally developed for the measurement of imperfections in large-scale steel silos, the system ... -
Geographic Data Exchange Format in Taiwan
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)The requirement for a well defined and widely accepted digital data-exchange method has been emphasized and discussed by several geographic information system (GIS) scholars. The different graphic formats for representing ... -
Use of Extrinsic Evidence to Aid Interpretation of Deeds
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)When deeds are confusing, ambiguous, or poorly written it may be difficult to determine the boundaries of the property described. In an effort to uphold the intended conveyance of the parties to a deed, the court commonly ... -
Area Computation by Coordinates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Area computation by coordinates has become the conventional method for application purposes. The structure and forms of the equations used for this method are investigated in this study. Various factors that result in a ...
