Engineering Simulation of Market Value of Construction Materials

Journal of Advanced Research in Law and Economics, 2019
Material resources are one of the main elements of the construction cost estimate. The nomenclature of material resources includes a large number of items. It is impossible to objectively estimate the construction cost, capital construction, and maintenance works without carrying out monitoring of the prices of constructional resources and accounting ...

An image engineering system for the inspection of transparent construction materials

ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2009
Abstract This article presents a modular photogrammetric recording and image analysis system for inspecting the material characteristics of transparent foils, in particular Ethylen–TetraFluorEthylen-Copolymer (ETFE) foils. The foils are put under increasing air pressure and are observed by a stereo camera system.
