Austin Barry A step-by-step presentation of how random errors occur when taking measurements, how these errors behave, how measurement errors can be used to determine the reliability of the values, and how to accord weights to different measurements of the same quantity. Introduces the concept of percentage compliance with a demand specification, discusses practical plotting of frequency distribution curves, offers tables of areas beneath the normal curve to assist in formulating the validity of measurements, and provides basic information of the probability ellipse for two-dimensional errors. Appendices contain a review and reference of significant figures, complete information for writing a specification for a procedure, suggestions for the use of a Fortran program, and more. 1978 (0 471-03156-9) 183 pp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElements of Construction Measurement.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Difference of Elevation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Distance Measurements by Taping.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Angle Measurements and Directions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Distance Measurements by Other Methods.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Laying Out Angles.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Stakes, Hubs, and Control Marks for Construction.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Coordinate Surveying and Layout.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Principles of Construction Layout.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Building Construction Layout.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Trenching and Pipelaying.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Highway Planning and Initial Layout.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Horizontal Circular Curves.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Vertical Parabolic Curves.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Staking Layout of Highways.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Shafts and Tunnels.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Offshore Measurements.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Random Field and Office Techniques.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Measurement of Areas and Volumes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Volume Computations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendix A: Units of Measurement.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendix B: The Laser.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendix C: Three-Wire Leveling.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendix D: Topographic Maps, Contours, and Photogrammetry.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53515432952151,"sku":"9780471836636","price":153.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/construction-measurements-9780471836636","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
