Deformation Monitoring in Dam, Using Geodetic Measuring (Case Study-Koman, Albania)

Msc. Marpol Koco

Abstract: The world we live in is constantly changing and nothing is static. Managing this change is essential to economic and social progress. Monitoring should be able to detect damages, constructive deficiencies and security threats so that a sudden event can be detected and prevented. Detection of deformation size is a very difficult challenge for engineering geodesy. The difference between the points coordinates (between two consecutive epochs) considered, can occur for two main reasons: as a result of point movement, and as a result of errors we may do during the field measurement process. To solve this problem different monitoring methods are combined. This combination consists of switching from manual and electronic methods to online monitoring or geomonitoring. Analyzing and measuring the deformations of an object with geodetic methods is one of the biggest challenges of monitoring teams. This analysis has the final purpose of calculating the deformation of each point and the numerical size of the displacement vector as well as the error ellipse. The paper concludes with conclusions and recommendation for the future actions.
