This project explores the use of finite element analysis (FEA) methods for the Physics Department building's deformation monitoring. For buildings to remain structurally sound and safe, deformation monitoring is essential, especially for those that are subjected to changing loading bearing and climatic conditions over time. A comprehensive approach for modeling and assessing the structural behavior of complex structures, such as buildings, under various conditions is provided by the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method. Taken into account its geometric, material, and loading properties, FEA is used in this work to model the Physics Department building. The assessment of the building's response to varying loads and environmental conditions involves the evaluation of several deformation parameters, including displacements, strains, stiffness and stresses. The results of this study help in the construction of effective deformation monitoring plans for structures that are similar to the Physics Department building and offer insightful information about the structural integrity of the building. The methodology involves the strategic placement of GNSS receivers, considering topographic features, and environmental factors. The selected GNSS receivers are equipped with advanced capabilities for precise positioning, enabling the monitoring of both static and real-time information. The project also integrates quality assurance measures, such as regular calibration checks, redundancy protocols, and real-time corrections, to ensure the reliability of the collected data. The anticipated outcomes of this project include a comprehensive dataset detailing the deformations observed in the monitored structures area over a period. Furthermore, the research advances finite element analysis (FEA) methods in structural engineering by improving their accuracy and practicality.
