The use of global navigation satellite systems for deformation analysis of the Dargovských hrdinov housing estate

Abstract

In this paper, the deformation analysis of the Dargovských hrdinov housing estate using global navigation satellite systemsis described. Theoretically, it deals with the reasons of formation of slope deformations, the ways of their measurement, and withthe recent development and availability of GNSS. Particular attention is paid to the description of the deformation analysis technique,beginning with working out the project, locating by the GNSS, up to processing and testing of the deformation network. The practicalpart is based on the theoretical knowledge and describes the measurement procedure, the equipment used, working methodologyand testing of the bonding network. Based on the results obtained by the deformation analysis, the paper offers information aboutthe recent condition of the investigated area.
