The article considers the existing methods used in the problem of geodetic monitoring of structures, analyzes the possibilities and gives a preliminary assessment of the accuracy of their use in monitoring high-rise structures. Methods have been identified that allow obtaining measurement results with a high sampling rate and have the potential for automation. Methods have been identified that allow solving the problem of calculating the daily fluctuations of a structure from the effects of solar radiation and wind load separately from the values of heel and draft.
The presented paper is dedicated to the problem of temperature changes variations for Ukraine. As an input data source, NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information data were used. Based on preliminary studies, the temperature analysis workflow was developed. The feature of the deployed workflow is an application of GIS analysis for temperature trend detection. As the main functions of GIS analysis, overlay analysis and Kriging interpolation were used. The temperature surfaces were constructed using the Kriging interpolation method to determine the temperature trend. The overlay analysis was applied based on the temperature surfaces for different time intervals. After overlaying procedure, the difference between two georeferenced surfaces was calculated. These differences allowed us to track the temperature changes throughout time. The results of surfaces subtraction were used for temperature variation analysis for different time intervals. The general picture emerging from the research is that the temperature grows for 0.2 C° each five years. As in previous studies, the results confirm that there is a distinct tendency in the temperature rising for one degree of Celsius during the last twenty years. The temperature trend has an essential geographical association. The most significant temperature changes are related to the southeast of Ukraine, proving the desert regions' increasing.
The article is related to the field of geodetic and engineering construction monitoring of building structures in the form of rod systems. It investigates the measurement accuracy of the compression deformation of the rod. As an example, there is considered a vertical rectilinear rod of high flexibility, loaded with a longitudinal axial force. Experience demonstrates that the rod, under the influence of an axial compressive load not exceeding the permissible design values, retains its original form of equilibrium and stability. At the same time, it works in the field of elastic compression deformations. As the load increases to its critical values, there occurs a particular state of the element when the form of equilibrium becomes unstable, and at any moment, it can turn from a straight line into a curvilinear one with a slight external influence or as a result of position errors. This is accompanied by large displacements and permanent deformations. The importance of monitoring is noted when a building structure with similar constructions, for example, is situated in the area of development of negative natural and anthropogenic processes. As a result, the load on some elements may increase to critical values due to uneven horizontal and vertical displacement and inclination of the structure, including vibrations, etc. Attention is focused on the fact that the complex of engineering and technical measurements should show, with the necessary completeness, reliability and accuracy of the value, the nature and dynamics of changes in the external load on the elements of the building structure, changes in internal forces and stresses in them, the development of deformations (changes in the size and shape of equilibrium). There is explained the accuracy with which it is necessary to measure the displacement of the rod end during the deformation. There was derived the dependence with the help of which it is possible to see the root-mean-square error of the displacement measuring that depends on the choice of the maximum stress deviation in the sections of the rod made of a certain material. There is laid out the calculation of the maximum stress deviation based on the stability and flexibility of the rod.
