    • Reliability of Polygonal Boundary of Land Parcel 

      Larry E. Stanfel; Michael Conerly; Christine Stanfel (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      Suppose a land parcel is described by a polygon having as vertices a set of points with coordinates determined by various measurement schemes. Due to measurement errors, however, the vertices are inexact, so that the ...

    • Discussions and Closure: Simple Numerical Method for Solving Horizontal Circular Curves 

      François Dubeau; K. S. Li; Said M. Easa (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
    • Rubber-Sheeting Algorithm for Cadastral Maps 

      Yerahmiel Doytsher; Eytan Gelbman (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      This paper presents a fast and efficient algorithm to homogeneously spread distortions generated by the conversion of paper maps to digital information. These distortions occur at the block borders as a result of junction ...
    • The Tonias Algorithm 

      Jack C. Cluff (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      This paper casts light upon the significance both practical and theoretical of a paper entitled “Spiral Problems for an Electronic Computer,” by Elias C. Tonias, which has acquired wide circulation among computer programmers ...
    • Error Properties of Stadia Measurements with Incomplete Intercept 

      Tian-Yuan Shih (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      The error properties of the stadia measurement with incomplete-intercept readings were analyzed in this study. Several numerical experiments were also conducted. Finally, a comparison was made on the magnitude of the ...
    • Estimating Cost for Photogrammetric Mapping and Aerial Photography 

      John G. Lyon; Ed Falkner; William Bergen (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      The paper addresses elements of a cost-estimating approach for photogrammetric mapping and related aerial photography and control surveying services. The background for the estimating approach is presented, as are the ...

    • Discussions and Closure: ASCE Proposed Model Standard of Practice for Property Boundary Surveys 

      Earl F. Burkholder; Robert W. Foster; Gunther Greulich; W. T. Wambach Jr.; Wayne Valentine (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
    • Least-Squares Solution for Dangling-Line Case in Cadastral-Map Resurvey 

      Tian-Yuan Shih (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      A variety of practical problems have been experienced in the cadastral-map resurvey in Taiwan. One of them concerns the dangling boundary lines shared with a number of land parcels. Conventionally, this problem is resolved ...
    • Nearshore Surveying: Accuracy and Techniques for Improvement 

      Emre N. Otay; Robert G. Dean (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      Various concerns of beach and nearshore survey accuracy including methodologies and equipment are addressed. First, four types of horizontal distance measurement apparatus (survey tape, infrared apparatus, microwave and ...
    • Book Review 

      Unknown author (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
    • Dynamic Deformation Monitoring of Tall Structure Using GPS Technology 

      J. W. Lovse; W. F. Teskey; G. Lachapelle; M. E. Cannon (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      Dynamic deformation monitoring of structures such as long bridges, towers, and tall buildings, for the purpose of determining structural vibrations, is now possible using global-positioning-system (GPS) technology. Current ...
    • Future of Surveying Engineering—a Perspective from Greece 

      Marinos Kavouras (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)
      With the introduction of recent technological developments, many of the complex techniques and methodologies, being the expertise of surveying engineers, have become obsolete. On the other hand, there has been a significant ...
    • Finite‐Element Volumes 

      Thomas G. Davis (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)
      The finite‐element‐volumes method is a new earthwork volumes technique quite unlike conventional methods. The algorithm provides automatic curvature and prismoidal correction using ordinarily available cross‐section data ...
    • Quality in Constructed Project: Surveying Engineering 

      Gunther Greulich; Wayne H. Valentine; R. R. Chamard (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)
      Surveying engineering is an essential ingredient to the assurance of quality in a constructed project. This paper addresses the responsibilities and tasks required prior to and during the constructed project. Project ...
