Internal

devices
have
been
installed
as
a
part
of
the
telescoping
vertical
movement
cross-arm
devices B,
C, D,
E,
F
and
G.
Horizontal
movement
of
plates
is
transformed
into vertical
move-
ment
by a linkage
system.
The
observations
of
these devices
so
far
have
revealed
nominal
changes
in
horizontal
strain
during
the
post-construction
period.

The
surface
settlement
points,
numbering
lO2,
consisting of
steel
rods
grouted
into
the sloping
surface
of
the
dam have
been
located
at different
elevations
along the
dam
slope
both
on
upstream
and down-
stream.
There
are
in all two
rows
of
such
embank-
ment
measurement points
provided
along
upstrearn
(El.
387.10
and
411.48 m)
and
four rows
along the
downstrearn
slope
(El.
434.95, 411.48,
387-10 and
362.7 |

for

have
also
been installed on
top
of
parapet

The observations
for the
cumulative settlement
and deflection
on the
surface
settlement
points
have
been
made with
reference'
to
control targets/bench
marks.
These
observations
are within
permissible
limits.
Slope
Indicators
Slope
indicator
installations have been
provided
one
in
the
body
of
the
dam
at
about its maximum
section
to record
displacements within the embank-
ment
and
other
near
the
toe
of the downstream
toe
rveight
to detect horizontal
movement
and
settlement
of
rock below.
The observations
of these
instruments
have
revealed
no
significant
movement so far
during
the
post-construction
period.
