Hydrographic Surveying - Part 3
This online engineering PDH course examines the principles and technologies associated with network adjustment, laser scanning, and deformation analysis in structural deformation surveying applications.
This course focuses on pre-analysis and network adjustment procedures, including least squares adjustment methods, adjustment input and output parameters, baseline weighting, covariance analysis, residual evaluation, and quality assessment techniques used in deformation monitoring networks.
In addition, this course explores laser scanning technologies for deformation monitoring, including instrumentation performance, data management, standardized reporting procedures, and practical project applications. The course also discusses geometrical analysis, statistical modeling, deterministic modeling, hybrid analysis methods, and automated data management systems used in the analysis and assessment of structural deformation results.
So, this course covers systematic approaches for evaluating, analyzing, adjusting, and interpreting deformation monitoring data using statistical, geometrical, and deterministic methods to support engineering decision-making, structural performance evaluation, and long-term infrastructure monitoring programs.
This 10 PDH online course is applicable to civil and structural engineers, surveyors, as well as other technical professionals who are interested in learning more about hydrographic surveying.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding pre-analysis procedures and least squares adjustment methods used in deformation monitoring networks
- Recognizing adjustment input parameters, output statistics, covariance analysis, and residual evaluation techniques used in network adjustment processes
- Applying quality assessment procedures and statistical evaluation methods for deformation monitoring data and survey networks
- Understanding laser scanning instrumentation, performance characteristics, and data management procedures used in deformation monitoring applications
- Recognizing standardized reporting practices and project implementation considerations associated with laser scanning surveys
- Understanding geometrical, statistical, deterministic, and hybrid analysis methods used in the assessment of structural deformation results
- Applying automated data management concepts and deformation analysis techniques to support engineering evaluation and infrastructure monitoring programs
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “Hydrographic Surveying - Part 3”, which is based on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Publication No. EM 1110-2-1003, Chapters 9 through 11 of “Hydrographic Surveying”.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifty (50) questions to earn 10 PDH credits. The quiz will be based on the entire document.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.)
