Produktbeschreibung

This unique and up-to-date book deals with the conceptual philosophy behind the use of instruments, and systematically covers their practical use. It is divided into displacement dominated systems and stress recording systems. It discusses the limitations and theoretical background for data assessment and presentation are covered in some detail, with some relevant background material in theoretical soil mechanics. Relevant advanced electronic techniques such as laser scanning in surveying and fibre-optics are also included and communication and data recovery systems are also examined.
