DEFORMATION PREDICTION USING EXPONENTIAL POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS
By Deformation, we mean change of shape of any structure from its original shape and by monitoring the structure over time using Geodetic means, the change in shape, size and the overall structural dynamics behaviors of structure can be detected. Prediction is therefor based on the epochs measurement obtained during monitoring of structure, the life time, failure and danger period of the structured may therefore be forecast. The aim of this study is to predict the Deformation experience by crude oil Tank under continuous loading with data obtained in four epochs of measurement using Exponential polynomial technique. The predictions were compared with measured data reported in literature and the results are discussed. The computational aspects of implementation of the model are also discussed briefly.
