Integrated topographical and inclinometric procedures for long term monitoring of complex civil structures

In this paper, the complementary nature of topographical and continuous inclinometric monitoring procedures for the assessment of the movements of the complex structure being built is analysed. The processes used in the two different monitoring systems and the results obtained are described. These are characterized by a significant homogeneity in terms of the precision of the two different types of monitoring which can be considered interchangeable. It is therefore demonstrated that as the two systems are completely independent from each other and not correlated they can be used to validate each other reciprocally.
