Use of a co‐ordinate measuring system to assess the deflection pattern of the Mary Rose Dam, Portsmouth

Abstract

Details research undertaken at Portsmouth Polytechnic where a theodolite intersection system was used to monitor deflections of a reinforced concrete dam at the Mary Rose site in Portsmouth. Provides a background description of the Mary Rose site, and the developments at Portsmouth Polytechnic which facilitated this work. Outlines the results of the analysis, and suggests that the technique will eventually replace some of the conventional methods currently in use.
