WG6.4 - Engineering Surveys for Construction Works
and Structural Engineering
Policy Issues
- Promoting the use of adapted survey techniques in industry &
Engineering;
- Promoting a multidisciplinary collaboration between survey
engineers, civil engineers, structural & mechanical engineers;
- Promoting the understanding of fibre optic sensors, e.g.
interferometric sensors, Brillouin and Raman scattering and Bragg
gratings;
- Study the use of embedded sensor arrays and the role of advanced
surveying techniques for structural monitoring;
- Creating an awareness of surveyors through a task force 'Fibre
optic sensors' of the rapidly emerging technology of fibre optic
sensors as "non-geodetic" sensors to measure deformations
(strain) and temperatures in civil engineering structures
Chair
Specific Projects
- Precise methods and equipment for staking out during construction
and structural works;
- QC and documentation for as build compared to as designed;
- Precise methods and equipment for Engineering surveys for
visualisation and photo match;
- Precise methods and equipment for remote surveys. (Terrestrial
laser scanners etc.)
- Dynamic Monitoring of Buildings and Structures;
- Offshore construction surveys.
Task force 6.4.1: "Fibre optic sensors":
- Monitoring using fibre optic sensors;
- Health monitoring of structures, including real-time and
"non-geodetic" sensors in Engineering;
Workshops
- Regular symposia and exchanges between researchers and concerned
professionals;
- Possibly integrating the workshop at Nottingham under commission
6.1 with this group in 2004.
- Contributions to various joint meetings and FIG working weeks
- Contribution FIG World Congress in 2006.
Publications
- Proceedings of the meetings (by the host).
- Web page
Beneficiaries
- Surveying profession becoming involved in this developing
technology which will partly replace current geodetic techniques;
- Surveyors wanting to acquire information about fibre optic sensors
as used in "smart civil Engineering structures";
- Engineers who has to decide about the best techniques to monitor
civil Engineering structures;
- Universities teaching advanced sensor technology.
- Engineering Surveyors and Engineers involved with construction and
setting out will benefit, as well as structural engineers, current
buildings and future building designs.
