Landmåling

Er en indføring i landmåling, og er primært tiltænkt studerende på uddannelserne til bygningskonstruktør, byggetekniker og kort- og landmålingstekniker. Bogen vil uden tvivl også kunne finde anvendelse på andre uddannelser, hvor kendskab til land måling er påkrævet. Bogen gennemgår de grundlæggende landmålingsprincipper ved kortlægning af mindre områder. Der er lagt vægt på de praktiske metoder og med formidling af god landmålingsskik for øje. For at give en grundig indføring i principperne, vises hvordan kort kan tegnes direkte på et stykke papir og af samme årsag beskrives teodolitten, selv om denne for længst er afløst af totalstationen i det daglige praktiske arbejde.Et appendiks viser hvordan bygningsafsætninger udføres, og hvordan 3D-terrænmodeller opbygges.

The fifth edition of this textbook has been completely revised and significantly extended in order to reflect the revolution of geodetic technologies, methods and applications during the last decade. The Global Geodetic Observing System established by the IAG utilizes a variety of techniques to determine the geometric shape of the earth and its kinematics, the variations of earth rotation, and the earth's gravity field. The societal importance of geodetic products was highlighted by the UN resolution on the Global Geodetic Reference Frame. In this context, both space and terrestrial techniques play a fundamental role. Recent space missions are monitoring climate-relevant processes such as mass transport in the Earth system and sea level changes. The analysis of the time variation of the geodetic products provides the link to neighboring geosciences and contributes to proper modelling of geodynamic processes. New satellite mission concepts and novel technologies such as quantum gravimetry and optical clocks show great potential to further improve the geodetic observing system in the future. The book especially addresses graduate students in the fields of geodesy, geophysics, surveying engineering, geomatics, and space navigation. It should also serve as a reference for geoscientists and engineers facing geodetic problems in their professional work. The book follows the principal directions of geodesy, providing the theoretical background as well as the principles of measurement and evaluation methods, which is enriched with numerous figures. An extensive reference list supports further studies.

Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 3.0, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (College of Arts and Built Environment), course: Constuction Management, language: English, abstract: Cost estimation models deal with arrangement of data, assumptions and equations that permit the translation of physical resources or characteristics into cost. These models serve as framework for forecasting the probable cost of proposed construction projects. They can be classified as either traditional or non-traditional depending on the cost variable formulation. However, in the Ghanaian construction industry, quantity surveyors traditionally estimate the initial cost of building projects using the traditional models, which have been criticized overtime for its inaccuracies. The purpose of the study is to provide account on cost estimation modeling as the basis for proposing strategies for the utilization of non-traditional cost estimation models. Specifically, it intends to determine the awareness level of quantity surveying professionals on cost estimation models; to identify the barriers of cost estimation model's utilization; identify drivers of cost estimation model's utilization and finally propose strategies for the utilization of non-traditional cost estimation models. Construction projects require more capital and it demands that a cost plan is undertaken before its execution. The cost of construction projects is mostly needed by prospective clients to know the level of funds needed to handle cash flow. Gunayin and Dogan argued that cost estimation is a major significant criterion in making decisions at the early phases of a building construction process which involves designing, bidding traditionally and constructing. It is vital to prepare cost estimations with high level of accuracy at every stage of the construction process especially initial stages. The exact cost estimates are necessary to the successful execution of every project. Time, cost and quality play a vital role in the success of every project, hence ideal to perform them at the minimum time, cost and quality.The preliminary estimate of cost pertaining to construction projects is seen as a cost limitation for a project. Any inaccurate estimation caused by errors in the initial estimation process will bring about frustrations and dissatisfaction to clients. In an effort to prepare cost estimates within an unfavourable time frame, some cost prediction methods are used. However, these methods have some problems which have effects on the accuracy of the cost estimates.

At the early project stages of plant construction, cost estimates for projects in the process industry are a prerequisite for gaining a competitive advantage in a global market with increasing commodity prices, engineering and installation costs. This book gives readers a detailed overview of the structure of cost estimates in brownfield and greenfield plant projects and the method of preparing the required accompanying documentation. Using a project example, the book presents a cost estimate with different levels of accuracy. The attachment comprises cost estimation templates and corresponding documents that can also be ordered separately from the publisher as Word and Excel files.. Basics of cost estimation. Cost estimation types, classes and methods. Planning (engineering). Equipment and material procurement. Installation and construction. Exemplary templates
