ABSTRACT
The Global Positioning System (GPS) has been widely used for monitoring the displacements of slopes, open pit mines, dams, etc. in various rock engineering projects. This article begins by outlining GPS and then reviews the procedure for the displacement monitoring method together with error correction methods based on the ISRM suggested method. Practical applications for monitoring landslides, cut slopes, quarries, dams, etc. are illustrated to verify this technology.
