Abstract
Monitoring and analysis of deformations in the earth's crust and engineering structures are among the important issues of geodesy. In order to monitor the deformations, a geodetic network consisting of reference and object points is created in general. Deformation research is carried out by analyzing the movements at the network points. Measurements for the determination of these movements can be made with classical techniques as well as with GNSS techniques. The static relative positioning is a widely used method in such precise geodetic applications. In this study; the capacity of the GNSS technique to detect vertical deformations was investigated. For this purpose, a micro geodetic network was designed in the Selcuk University Campus area. A mechanism to create virtual deformations was placed on the object point in the designed network and periodic measurements were carried out by creating virtual deformations in the vertical direction. Measurements were processed with the Bernese v5.2 scientific GNSS software, analyzed by Iterative Weighted Similarity Transformation Method using the software developed to perform deformation analysis in GNSS networks, and the determined deformations were compared with the real deformation value, considering the ionospheric activities on the measurement days. As a result of the analyses, vectorial deformation amounts compatible with the real deformation value were obtained and it was seen that the motion amounts in the direction of the coordinate components were also compatible with the virtual deformation amount given on the mechanism.
