Flexural Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Slabs with Penetrations Using CFRP A draft By Ehab Emad Fawzy ABSTRACT As the surveying techniques get more advanced day by day, new devices come out introducing more advanced and easy-to-use technologies in the expanding GIS world. Hochschule fà ¼r Tech-nik – Stuttgart (HFT) has recently acquired the new ZEB1 scanner as a new mobile mapping device. This research will discuss the possibilities of using the scanner as a solution for indoor mapping. The main objective is to benefit from GIS capabilities and tools for processing point cloud data.A workflow model is provided for georeferencing and registering point clouds in addition to mapping an indoor area of the school and visualizing the results in 3D. The developed model is designed to achieve these objectives efficiently in one environment with a user friendly interface.
