ABSTRACT

Changes in deformation can be observed by different methods in accordance with length of sector or according to demanded preciseness. Generally it is valid that for longer sectors the methods with lower preciseness are used, as are able to inform about prevailing character of deformation, about deformation development in longer time interval. They can be used also for the evaluation of abrupt changes in loading. Therefore the following methods and experiences with them are described in more details:

− Conventional monitoring using convergence tape measurements, tilt plates measurements and crackmeters measurements-determination of deformation in time for one selected profile.
