Among the various branches of engineering surveying, deformation
measurement is a critical issue, since the measurement results are related
directly to the lives and safety of people (Kalkan, 2007; Kalkan and Alkan,
2006). As every other important civil structures, large dams need monitoring
systems to be able to control the structure and prevent critical situations that
may occur (Cazzaniga et al., 2006; Kaloop et al., 2009). Indeed, monitoring
of dams is among the essential aspects of a dam during construction, as well
as in operation time and must manage to detect any behavior which might
cause deterioration or breakage of dam. Key factors for a superior quality and
reliable control network are adequate spatial density and correct position of
