A new laser convergence monitoring method is proposed
combining with the advantages of the current two measurement methods
i.e. traditional convergence measurement and total station measurement. For the traditional convergence measurement method and total station measurement method
both have some disadvantages
such as high operation requirements
the construction disturbance and difficult to long-term monitoring
etc. risen from by the former
and lower accuracy raised by the latter. Laser ranging technology used by total station measurement has been adopted
at the same time direct-measure strategy used by traditional convergence measurement also has been followed. By virtue of the existing laser ranging products
the measuring apparatus required by the new method has been designed and processed out. The apparatus consists of five parts which are laser rangefinder
rangefinder base
connecting rod
connecting sleeve and measuring base. According to the specific implementation steps
the measurement precision in on-site engineering environment has been tested and estimated in the tunnel of Chengchao Iron. The test results show that the new method is low-cost
simple operation
good stability
and the measurement precision can reach 0.7 mm. Therefore it is useful for universal application of convergence monitoring to the process of construction of underground engineering.
