Abstract:
A method, using a new surveying technique, is used for the measurement of the geometric initial imperfections in box girder diaphragms. The method, accurate to ±0·1 mm, may be used on diaphragms contained in a box girder where contact with the surface of the diaphragm is difficult or impossible or inadvisable due to the presence of strain gauges.
