Description
Accuracy requirements of fractions of a millimeter for the
positioning of beam-guiding magnets in synchrotons, monitor-
ing of speedy sub-seatunnelling with lengths exceeding 25
km, the construction of extremely long bridges of suspension
or "cast-and push"-type, but also geometrical industrial
quality control and robot calibration in real time, and even
the analysis of prestressed cable nets, are few examples of
thechallenging new tasks demanding responses from the
modern engineering-geodesist.
In this volume, a general view of Engineering Geologyis
presented, its state of the art and up-to-date information
about recent scientific tasks, aims and methods. The
contributions focus on Theoretical Aspects, Techniques of
Measurements, Techniques of Data Processing and Computing,
Reports About Selected Executed Projects, Special Tasks,
e.g. Realtime Positioning and Navigation, Industrial
Managements,Image Processing. But also the role of geo-
desists in collaboration with civil and mechanical
engineers, technical designers and architects is outlined.
As a reference book, this volume will be useful for
researchers, students and practitioners in Engineering
Geodesy and neighbouring disciplines.
