Studies on the Real-Time Monitoring of Gura Apelor Dam

This thesis presents a modern monitoring model of the geodetic parameters specific to dams made of earth and rock. The monitoring of dam components movements in the horizontal plane is currently carried out by the micro-triangulation method. The optimization of the monitoring process geometrical parameters for water accumulations dams requires the use of modern equipment and technologies. They allow a faster retrieval of data and its immediate processing with high-performance analysis programs. This reduces the time between measuring the formation and making the intervention decision. The studies and researches carried out have indicated the development and application of a real-time monitoring system of the geometrical parameters at Gura Apelor dam. The proposed monitoring system uses a set of modern equipment including Leica Nova TM50 total stations, 360° prisms and GNSS antennas. The monitoring equipment is supplied with sensors for atmospheric information for the correction of measurements.
