Application of Photogrammetric System for monitoring Civil Engineering Structures

With the development of lot of construction techniques and different materials technology, the design of recent civil engineering has become so much advanced and difficult. Along with this we also need to focus on the improvement and effective monitoring of all the technologies in the structure because this is an essential part for the improvement in the performance of structural monitoring systems and for reduction in labour. Parallel to this, implementation costs have become important issue that all the experts and scientists are involved for solving. In this research paper application of cost effective and high accuracy photogrammetric system is studied and tested for monitoring civil engineering structures. This research paper includes the merits of photogrammetry for a cost effective and highly efficient accurate solution for structural health monitoring of large and complex structures. Therefore, this research paper introduces a real-time measuring system also called as VMS and this is is based on digital photogrammetry. The calculated results of photogrammetric system are compared with those of traditional apparatus (dial gauge) and also theoretical calculations in various tests and then the accuracy of photogrammetric system is evaluated.
