Structural Deformation Surveying - Part 2 of 3
This online engineering PDH course examines the principles, instrumentation, and analytical methods associated with structural deformation surveying and measurement systems.
This course focuses on deformation measurement techniques, which utilize geodetic and non-geodetic instruments such as total stations, GPS, photogrammetry, and laser-based systems to monitor structural displacements.
In addition, this course explores sources of measurement error, instrument calibration procedures, and data quality considerations, requiring the use of appropriate techniques to ensure precision and reliability in deformation monitoring.
So, this course covers the acquisition, processing, and adjustment of deformation data governed by measurement theory, statistical analysis, and least squares methods, with results obtained through systematic observation and error mitigation techniques. It also emphasizes the interpretation, analysis, and reporting of deformation data for engineering evaluation and decision-making.
This 6 PDH online course is applicable to civil, geodetic, and structural engineers, as well as other technical professionals involved in advanced surveying and infrastructure assessment.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding deformation measurement techniques and instrumentation used in surveying applications
- Understanding sources of error and the importance of calibration in precise measurements
- Applying general data processing and adjustment concepts for deformation surveys
- Understanding methods for analyzing and interpreting deformation data
- Recognizing the role of deformation monitoring in supporting engineering assessment and reporting
