Investigation of possibilities to use fern modelling in the process of modernisation of control networks for concrete dams

The paper presents analysis of possibilities to utilise results of modelling the work of concrete dam construction elements, obtained by means of the finite elements method (FEM), for the needs of modernisation of a control network. Such analysis should answer the question, whether - basing on the results of modelling with the use of currently controlled points of the object, as the network nodes, and pointing to zones (locations) of threats - it will be possible to formulate recommendations concerning the improvement of a set of controlled points and to perform related modifications of the existing control network.
