Development of Deformation Monitoring System of an Engineering Structure using Reflectorless Total Station

The rationale ofFinal Year Project (FYP) is to develop student's ability in the process
oflearning and applying knowledge in the area ofinterest with minimum guidance and
supervision. This FYP entitled 'Development ofDeformation Monitoring System ofan
Engineering Structure using Reflectorless Total Station' is basically preparing
appropriate system from hardware and software aspect for deformation of engineering
structure with the aid of reflectorless total station. Deformation of engineering structure
is measured to ensure that the structure is exhibiting safe deformation behaviour. The
engineering structure selected to assess the workability of the system was the UTP
Academic Complex Canopy. The deformation data collected will be processed and
analysed by developed computer system. The results will demonstrate if movement
occurred on selected structure and give warning when the movement is critical. At the
end if the project is realistic and reasonable, the developed system can be used for
monitoring deformation work of other engineering structures.
