Managing Measurement Risk in Building and Civil Engineering
Measurement in civil engineering and building is a core skill and the means by which an architectural or engineering design may be modelled financially, providing the framework to control and realise designs within defined cost parameters, to the satisfaction of the client.Measurement has a particular skill base, but it is elevated to an ‘art’ because the quantity surveyor is frequently called upon to interpret incomplete designs in order to determine the intentions of the designer so that contractors may be fully informed when compiling their tenders. Managing Measurement Risk in Building and Civil Engineering will help all those who use measurement in their work or deal with the output from the measurement process, to understand not only the ‘ins and outs’ of measuring construction work but also the relationship that measurement has with contracts, procurement, claims and post-contract control in construction.The book is for quantity surveyors, engineers and building surveyors but also for site engineers required to record and measure events on site with a view to establishing entitlement to variations, extras and contractual claims. The book focuses on the various practical uses of measurement in a day-to-day construction context and provides guidance on how to apply quantity surveying conventions in the many different circumstances encountered in practice.A strong emphasis is placed on measurement in a risk management context as opposed to simply ‘taking-off’ quantities. It also explains how to use the various standard methods of measurement in a practical working environment and links methods of measurement with conditions of contract, encompassing the contractual issues connected with a variety of procurement methodologies.At the same time, the many uses and applications of measurement are recognised in both a main contractor and subcontractor context. Measurement has moved into a new and exciting era of on-screen quantification and BIM models but this has changed nothing in terms of the basic principles underlying measurement: thoroughness, attention to detail, good organisation, making work auditable and, above all, understanding the way building and engineering projects are designed and built. This book will help to give you the confidence to both ‘measure’ and understand measurement risk issues by: presenting the subject of measurement in a modern context with a risk management emphasisrecognising the interrelationship of measurement with contractual issues including identification of pre- and post-contract measurement risk issuesemphasising the role of measurement in the entirety of the contracting process particularly considering measurement risk implications of both formal and informal tender documentation and common methods of procurementconveying the basic principles of measurement and putting them in an IT contextincorporating detailed coverage of NRM1 and NRM2, CESMM4, Manual of Contract Documents for Highway Works and POM(I), including a comparison of NRM2 with SMM7 and a detailed analysis of changes from CESMM3 to CESMM4discussing the measurement implications of major main and sub-contract conditions (JCT, NEC3, Infrastructure Conditions and FIDIC)providing detailed worked examples and explanations of computer-based measurement using a variety of industry-standard software packages

How is measurement done in electrical engineering?
Measurement in electrical engineering is typically done using various instruments such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and power analyzers. These instruments are used to measure different electrical parameters such as voltage, current, resistance, frequency, and power. The measurements are usually taken by connecting the instrument to the circuit or component being tested, and the readings are displayed on the instrument's screen or recorded for further analysis. Calibration of these instruments is crucial to ensure accurate and reliable measurements.

What is the difference between measurement inaccuracies and measurement errors?
Measurement inaccuracies refer to the discrepancies between the measured value and the true value of a quantity, which can be caused by various factors such as instrument calibration or environmental conditions. On the other hand, measurement errors are the differences between the measured value and the true value that are due to mistakes made during the measurement process, such as human error or faulty equipment. Inaccuracies are more systematic and can be corrected through calibration, while errors are more random and can be minimized through careful measurement techniques.

What is the difference between angular measurement and arc measurement?
Angular measurement refers to the measurement of angles in degrees, radians, or other units, while arc measurement refers to the measurement of the length of an arc on a circle. Angular measurement is used to quantify the amount of rotation between two lines, while arc measurement is used to quantify the length of a curved segment of a circle. In other words, angular measurement focuses on the angle formed by two intersecting lines, while arc measurement focuses on the length of the curved segment of a circle.

How is the background measurement carried out in beta spectrum measurement?
In beta spectrum measurement, the background measurement is carried out by placing the detector in a shielded environment to minimize external interference. The detector is then left to measure the background radiation for a certain period of time without any radioactive source nearby. This background measurement helps in determining the baseline radiation levels that need to be subtracted from the actual beta spectrum measurement to obtain accurate results. Additionally, background measurements are essential for identifying and eliminating any sources of contamination or interference that could affect the beta spectrum data.

What is the underbust measurement for a measurement of 73 cm?
The underbust measurement is typically taken right under the bust, where the band of a bra would sit. For a measurement of 73 cm, the underbust measurement would likely be around 68-70 cm, as the band size of a bra is usually a few centimeters smaller than the actual underbust measurement to provide a snug fit and support. It is important to note that individual body shapes and sizes can vary, so it's always best to try on different sizes to find the most comfortable fit.
