Abstract

A measurement system (1) of the relative position between two structural parts (2a, 2b) of a building, that have separated for example following the formation of a crack, comprising a cylindrical permanent magnet (3) adapted to generate a magnetic field (B) and a sensor (5), the sensor (5) being fixed and the magnet (3) being moveable according to a direction perpendicular to its axis of symmetry (h) so as to vary the direction of the lines of force of the magnetic field B which cross the sensor 5.
