A truss bridge is a bridge whose load-bearing superstructure is composed of a truss, a structure of connected elements usually forming triangular units.

A Total Station is a modern surveying instrument that integrates an electronic theodolite with an electronic distance meter.

Simple in concept, a Robotic Total Station (RTS) is a Total Station that allows remote operation. This means you only need one operator and can perform far more calculations and inspections in less time than with a traditional Total Station.

Structural analysis is the determination of the effects of loads on physical structures and their components.

# data[].attributes.body
the branch of mechanics concerned with bodies at rest and forces in equilibrium.

Static loading is a load that doesn't change over time. In engineering, static loads tend to be better defined and require less of a safety factor on them then dynamic loading.

# data[].attributes.body
a strain in the structure of a substance produced by pressure, when its layers are laterally shifted in relation to each other.

# data[].attributes.body
a road.

# data[].attributes.body
Generally, a pier may be defined as a vertical, column-like engineering structure on land as well as in open water, whose purpose is to transmit safely structural load onto a deep-lying, firm, and load-bearing stratum of soil or rock covered by soft soil materials.

Surveying or land surveying is the technique, profession, art and science of determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional positions of points and the distances and angles between them.

A mechanical joint is a section of a machine which is used to connect one or more mechanical part to another.

Geomatics Engineering is the management of global infrastructure through the collection, measuring, monitoring and archiving of geospatial data.

# data[].attributes.body
In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (force diagram, or FBD) is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a body in a given condition.

# data[].attributes.body
A joist is a horizontal structural member used in framing to span an open space, often between beams that subsequently transfer loads to vertical members.

# data[].attributes.body
a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced.

Electronic distance measurement (EDM) is a method of determining the length between two points, using phase changes, that occur as electromagnetic energy waves travels from one end of the line to the other end.
