Abstract

Structural element movements and deformations have a significant influence on the quality of the building work. Their damaging effects can be prevented if the values of the development process of the movements and deformations are known. The test measurements carried out for the determinations took place under different building industry circumstances, so the test results are influenced by numerous factors. In the interest of getting to know these influencing factors the decisive elements of the test measurements need to be studied. From the decisive elements this study deals with the quality management issues of the geodetic measuring instruments and measuring equipment of movement and deformation testing measurements. The topicality of the analysis of this group of problems is justified by the demand for the technical development of quality and measuring also asserted in Hungary in the scope of the European Union`s (EU) European Quality Program (EQP), and by the necessity of the creation of a uniform system of technical requirements.
