Advantages of Using the Mechanics of Continuum to Geometrical Analyse Deformations Obtained from Geodetic Survey

The paper demonstrates why applying of the theory of continuum is useful to geometrical deformation analyses obtained from repeated positional survey in geodesy. The mechanics of continuum may be applied as basis of communication during the multidisciplinar approach to geodetic and geotechnic monitoring. It serves also as a technological and scientific communication basis between geodesists and specialists of other professions as geotechnics, geophysics, building engineers etc. The independency of resulting deformation parameters to applied coordinate frame is shown, too. It is not necessary to try to find any conditions of placing the survey network in the coordinate system but the calculation should be adjusted as free network. Then errors originated from erroneous pre-requisites about stability of some selected points that are taken during normal calculation as stable (in the stable part of such location) will be completely eliminated. When compared to the sole listening of displacements this procedure enables to present deformation parameters in much more objective way and serves as a tool to demonstrate the relatively geodynamical trends of the territory in question. SUMMARY Příspěvek ukazuje proč je výhodné užití teorie mechaniky kontinua pro analýzy deformací z opakovaných polohových geodetických měření. Mechaniku kontinua lze použít jako základ pro komunikaci v multidisciplinárním přístupu ke geodetickému a geotechnickému monitorování. Slouží tedy jako technologická a vědecká báze pro komunikaci mezi geodety a odborníky jiných profesí jako jsou geotechnika, geofyzika, stavební inženýrství atd. Poukazuje se také na nezávislost výsledných parametrů deformací na použité
