It is important to control the deformation condition of building foundations, which can change throughout period of operation. One of the criteria for evaluation of deformation of foundations is the vertical differential settlement. The hydrostatic leveling system is a technique to measure differential vertical settlements of foundation. It is possible to provide many standard constructions with sufficient accuracy of measuring settlements by using technically simple variants of the hydrostatic leveling system. Examples of using hydrostatic leveling systems for five-storey brick masonry building, monolithic reinforced concrete building and a historic 18th century building are given.
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.
