Abstract
Many methods of determining terrain movements and deformations in structures have been used. However, geodetic methods provide the only means of determining absolute displacements. All geodetic methods are based upon the measurement of angles or distances, or both. Triangulation involves measurement of angles; trilateration, measurement of distances; and traversing, measurement of angles and distances. Trilateration has not been used in this work, so far as the writer knows, but the development of electronic distance measuring devices may make this a suitable method in the future.
