Monitoring a steel building using GPS sensors
Fabio Casciati and Clemente Fuggini

 
Abstract
    To assess the performance of a structure requires the measurement of global and relative displacements at critical points across the structure. They should be obtained in real time and in all weather condition. A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) could satisfy the last two requirements. The American Global Position System (GPS) provides long term acquisitions with sampling rates sufficient to track the displacement of long period structures. The accuracy is of the order of sub centimetres. The steel building which hosts the authors
 
Key Words
