Observations of the deformations caused by construction of the Nurek hydroelectric station (on the Vakhsh River, USSR) were carried out during and after the construction period. Observations were made both in the dam foundation and in the reservoir flanks in vertical and horizontal directions. Observation data indicate that the dam foundation experienced uneven settling both over area and in time. The maximum deformations were found to correspond to the maximum loads. These actual data indicate that the construction of a dam and creation of a reservoir cause deformations of the rock mass in an extensive region, and the specific settlement depends upon the strength and density of the rocks composing the foundations and also upon the pressure created by the dam's weight. The geodetic observations are continuing at the Nurek hydroelectric station to monitor the possible movements of the rock blocks and the effects of these movements on the normal operation of individual structures of the hydrostation. 3 references, 2 figures, 4 tables.
