Application of Reflectorless Total Station in Bridge Detection and its Accuracy Analysis

Abstract:

In order to solve the problem of the linear measurement of arch ring for the detection of bridge,a new method is presented that measures the arch ring using a reflectorless total station on the side of the arch bridge and the detail operations are given. Taking account of weakness of edge suveying using a reflectorless total station,some formulas on the 3d coordinates calculation of the above and down edge of the arch ring based on the arch ring points are deduced.According to the law of error propagation, the accuracy of the X and Z axial coordinates are analysed.It is helpful for calculating lateral and vertical deformation and biridges elevation map that the transformation from free-station coordianates to the birdge axis coordinate by programming using EXCEL software is achieved.The method is used for bridges arch ring axial measurement in Qingcheng town,Yuzhong county,Gansu province,and its deformation is consistent with the measured results of the dial indicator,which satisfies the requirement of bridge detecton accuracy.So it is showed that the method is a good way of linear measuring of bridges arch ring.
