Abstract

It is important to control the deformation condition of building foundations, which can change throughout period of operation. One of the criteria for evaluation of deformation of foundations is the vertical differential settlement. The hydrostatic leveling system is a technique to measure differential vertical settlements of foundation. It is possible to provide many standard constructions with sufficient accuracy of measuring settlements by using technically simple variants of the hydrostatic leveling system. Examples of using hydrostatic leveling systems for five-storey brick masonry building, monolithic reinforced concrete building and a historic 18th century building are given.
