With the advent of GPS/GNSS satellite navigation systems and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) surveying profession is nowadays facing its transformative stage. Written by a team of surveying experts, Surveyor's Instruments and Technology gives surveying students and practitioners profound understanding of how surveying instruments are designed and operating based on surveying instrument functionality. The book includes the required basic knowledge of accurate measurements of distances and angles from theoretical principles to advanced optical, mechanical, electronic and software...

Landslides and slope failure are common in the US and rest of the world. The landslides cause significant damage to infrastructure and millions of dollars are required each year to fix the slope. A sustainable and costeffective option to stabilise the slope can have significant benefits, as it will reduce the cost of maintenance and when using recycled pins, it may help the environment at the same time. The recycled plastic pin is made from recycled plastic bottles and other plastic waste. Several demonstration projects already proved the effectiveness of RPP as an alternative option to...

Der vielgeschossige urbane Holzbau hat sich seit einigen Jahren als zukunftstrachtige Bauweise etabliert: Von London bis Stockholm, von Vancouver bis Melbourne entstehen derzeit Holzgebaude mit bis zu 20 Geschossen. Ermoglicht haben diese rasante Entwicklung der Systembau ebenso wie adaptierte Brandschutzbestimmungen. Hinzu kommt die tadellose CO2-Bilanz des haufig regional verfugbaren Werkstoffs. Diese Publikation erlautert die verschiedenen Konstruktionsarten wie Massivholz-Rahmenbauweise, hybride Holz/Beton- oder Holz/Stahl-Konstruktionen oder Konstruktionen aus...

New technologies play an increasingly important role in the analysis, monitoring, restoration, and preservation of historic structures. These technological systems continue to get more advanced and complex, for example: 3D digital construction and documentation programming, 3D imaging data (including laser scanning and photogrammetry), multispectral and thermographic imaging, geophysical data, etc. This book will present the latest nondestructive technologies used in the characterization, preservation, and structural health monitoring of historic buildings. It will include numerous case...
