Abstract:

This research presents an integrated real-time geotechnical monitoring framework for the Diamer Basha Dam Project, combining UAV photogrammetry, GNSS networks, total station surveys, GIS-based deformation mapping, and geotechnical instrumentation (piezometers, inclinometers, extensometers, and crack meters). The research assesses excavation-induced deformation, blasting impacts, groundwater pressure fluctuations, and slope stability under complex geological conditions. Results show that the integrated approach enhances deformation prediction, improves slope safety evaluation, and supports effective risk management during the construction of large RCC dam projects.
