Ed Brylawski

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

An overview of field measurements and instrumentation in civil engineering is presented. System components are described for the practicing design or construction engineer involved in instrumentation projects. Measurement techniques and current sources of information on instrumentation are explored. The article emphasizes the importance of planning, and points out how motivation, communications, back-up measurements and data checks are important. Case studies illustrate measurement problems.
