A modern integrated deformation monitoring program established for a reconstructed buttress dam is presented. A brief overview of the monitoring program will be provided along with discussions on equipment calibration aspects, how to assess the quality of the observation data, methods used to verify stability of the deformation network and to establish a trend of the deformations, how to develop deformation models which accurately reflect the spatial and temporal motions of the structure, including an investigation into the use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) for monitoring the deformations.
