A Method of Optimal Design for the Base Network in Structural Deformation Monitoring at Song Hinh Hydroelectricity, Vietnam

Abstract

The article mentions a method of optimal design for the base network in horizontal displacement monitoring at hydroelectric works, based on the average residual level of the measured values. When the target function is the weakest positional error, the obtained result after optimizing is the unique plan that no depends on the designers and their experience. Thus, this is helpful for the production units because they no need to have experts in designing the network. Experiment for the base network of deformation monitoring at Song Hinh hydroelectricity shows that 44%, 50% and 60% of the initial measurement can be reduced when the average residual level is chosen 0.5, 0.4 and 0.3, respectively. The weakest position error of the network after optimizing is 2.4 mm, 2.5 mm and 2.6 mm, respectively, all are smaller than requirement ±3.6mm. This method is mainly applied for the side-angle network that was measured by total station, without considering the optimal design network in the priority direction.
