Development of a High Precision Capability for Monitoring Structural Movements of Locks and Dams,

Abstract

A program of periodic inspection and continuing evaluation is required to insure the safety of many civil works structures. This report documents a Corps of Engineers program to develop a capability within the various Engineer districts for making very high precision survey measurements of structures. The program consisted of measurements of several structures and of training programs for survey personnel. Results of the measurements are included. (Author)
