ANALYTICAL AND GRAPHICAL ANALYSES OF DEFORMATION SURVEY OF THE EARTH-FILL DAM WITH TLS SUPPORT FOR GIS APPLICATIONS.

Dams belong to the dominant object in the interest of monitoring deformations in terms of geomechanic processes. Deformation survey of dams and their subsequent analysis of results must never be underestimated in terms of safety of human lives and protection of their proprieties as well as the environment protection. The paper gives the results of the deformation survey and subsequent deformation analytical and graphical analyses of the earth-fill dam Pod Bukovcom nearby the city of Kosice in the East Slovakia Region. The results and analysis of the geodetic terrestrial and satellite measurements on the body of the earth-fill dam are assumed by the test statistic and mathematical model of stability and eventually further movements of the earth-fill dam body with time prediction. Terrestrial laser scanning the earth-fill dam Pod Bukovcom is an appropriate support to the deformation survey. The outputs of deformation surveys of the earth-fill dam Pod Bukovcom are incorporated into GIS of the metallurgical enterprise U.S. Steel Kosice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
