Abstract
A project has been carried out to investigate the performance of GPS for determining deformations of large strong structures. As a test structure, a viaduct has been chosen 40 km away from West of Istanbul and built in a marsh area. Four epochs of GPS and levelling measurements have been done. Results obtained from epoch measurements are investigated and expressed in this paper. Also the needs of a special force centring equipment to achieve the accurate results are emphasised.
