Deformation and subsidence measurements are very vital for stability of structures and buildings. Deformation and subsidence monitoring are easily carried out with the aid of established baselines. This study focuses on the establishment of baseline for monitoring deformation and subsidence within university of Lagos. Geodetic method of control establishment was adopted, where five (5) control stations were established on stable grounds across the university of Lagos main campus with Differential GPS observation carried out on them and data obtained were processed and analysed statistically. The result of the findings shows that the baseline established is very reliable, given that the vertical controls have their relative redundancy number rij ranging between 0.1<rij<1.0 and the standard deviations ranges from 0.002 to 0.005. Also, the relative precision of the established baselines fell within the range of 7.36e-06ppm-2.54e-05ppm. From the findings of this research, deformation and subsidence studies can be reliably monitored within the University of Lagos and its environ using the baseline established through this research in order to safeguard lives and properties – including high rise structures within the university’s main campus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
