Methods for the Determination of Curvatures and the Difference Between the Slopes of Foundations as the Criteria of Deformation of the Basements of Buildings and Structures

Abstract

We proved the identity of measurements of deformations of the bases of buildings and structures by using the methods of leveling and cyclic inclinometric methods. We present some recommendations concerning the determination of deformations of the bases of buildings and structures (settlements, curvatures of the bent section of the structure) according to the data of inclinometric of measurements of the slope angles of foundations instead of the leveling measurements under the condition of distant location of a permanent bench mark.
