Monitoring of Deformation Processes in Buildings and Structures in Metropolises

Abstract The work deals with the issues of safe construction and operation of buildings in metropolises. One way to do that is to control deformation processes during construction of a new object near the existing buildings. Normative methods are focused only on the measurement of displacement of deformation control benchmarks put on the protected object. Emphasis is made on the necessity of performing geodetic observations over deformations of the earth's surface. There are results of numerical simulation of soil deformation near the pits. A method of observation with implementation of different technological tacheometry schemes was developed. Second method was used for monitoring of high-rise buildings. The concept of “high-rise building” was given an explanation. Monitoring was performed by means of laser-scanning technology. Observation methodology implies comparison of location of flat elements of the triangulation model of the object in space at each measurement cycle. There are examples provided.
