Vertical displacements of engineering structures
Roman Shults
The results of this study confirm that for complex deformation processes, simple linear and exponential models are ineffective. Further, to improve the quality of prediction models, it is recommended to conduct in-depth statistical analysis of measured vertical displacements in order to avoid blunders and systematic errors...
