Abstract

Displacement and deformation of engineering buildings (structures) are objectively inevitable. However, all surface and underground buildings (structures) have certain structural strength to resist surface displacement and deformation. In this paper, monitoring characteristics of high-rise building, slope project, underground rock mass work, dam body, bridge and other engineering projects are analyzed. Safety monitoring is an important measure to assure the safety of engineering buildings (structures). Monitoring of engineering disaster is based on engineering disaster mechanism analysis, monitoring tolerance determination, as well as modern monitoring technical achievements. Deformation refers to the three-dimensional displacement between point and point on ground surface, in rock mass, engineering buildings (structures) or within buildings (structures). The operation of utilizing monitoring instruments and other special tools and methods to monitor and observe objects under deformation is called deformation monitoring. The aim is to examine whether the monitored buildings (structures) are safe under the influence of external loads. Monitoring results are importance basis for design theory verification and construction quality inspection. There are several factors leading to deformation of buildings (structures): (1) deformation of ground surface; (2) foundation compaction caused by load of buildings (structures) leads to settlement and deformation of buildings (structures); (3) uneven settlement and deformation caused by changing of geological conditions of foundation; (4) seasonal or periodic temperature change; (5) deformation caused by external forces, such as swing of high-rise building by wind, vibration of bridge because of vehicle moving, influence on slope project caused by blasting operation, etc. [1, 2] Unexpected, sudden, and disastrous event related with engineering works is often referred to as engineering disaster.
