The paper presents the problems concerning the principles of developing expertise and performing tests on reinforced concrete structures. The situations that justify the need to provide expertise, the subject of which are constructions made of reinforced concrete, are described. A layout of the content of expertise that is usually adopted in practice has been included and commented on. The basic principles that should be followed when diagnosing the structures in question are provided. The available diagnostic methods and techniques, including non-destructive and semi non-destructive ones, are reviewed. This review is enriched with classifications that facilitate the selection of specific methods for individual diagnostic needs. In addition, useful literature with regards to the discussed topic has been indicated.
The determination of landforms of the terrain depends on a number of procedures. In general, all these procedures can be subdivided into two groups. The first group consists of measurement activities related to obtaining real-life data. The second group comprises operations related to the processing of results, in order to obtain the imaging. The measurements of the terrain and its landforms are discrete. Cartographic images are continuous. In order to get a map of 3D measurements, contours need to be interpolated. In this publication, four of the many interpolation methods were selected for presentation: Global Polynomial, Inverse Distance, Radial Basis Function, and Kriging. The example of the measurement results for a syncline (a subsidence trough) is used in order to illustrate the comparison between the modes of operation of particular methods.
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.
