Main results:
Deformations are caused by seasonal temperature fluctuations and are not dangerous to the current state of structures. According to the results of the measurements, structural deformations were initially related to the changes in temperature inside the building +/- 2°. Due to heavy rain, there was a drastic increase in structural deformations.
