Development of new technologies for monitoring structural and ground deformations puts new demands on the design and analysis of the multi-sensor systems. Design and analysis of monitoring schemes require a good understanding of the physical process that leads to deformation. Deterministic modelling of the load-deformation relationship provides information on the magnitude and location of expected critical deformations as well as delineates the deformation zone. By combining results of deterministic modelling with geometrical analysis, one can find the deformation mechanism and explain the cause of deformation in case of irregular behaviour of the investigated object. The concept is illustrated by four practical examples.
