This paper analyzes the displacements of CFRD which was completed by field measurement. It is to understand the deformation behavior of the dam body according to the water level change from the impounding time. And it was compared with numerical analysis results. As a result of measuring the behavior of the dam crest and downstream slope according to impounding, horizontal displacements in axis direction of the dam, upstream and downstream displacements and settlements occurred mostly when the water level reaches about half of the dam height. The displacements continued until the water level reached its maximum. After that, it showed a constant convergence regardless of the water level. Horizontal displacements of the face slab which is the most important in CFRD were similar at all locations. The Horizontal displacements of the face slab showed the trends of increasing in winter and decreasing in summer due to the effect of the outside temperature before impounding. Also, the displacements increased until the water level reached about half of the dam height. After that, they decreased with rising in water level. As a result, the face slab behaviors according to seasonal change after impounding as well as water level condition. It is judged because of the material characteristics of the concrete slab. Numerical analysis showed slightly different maximum settlement and depth of occurrence from the measuring data after construction of the dam. It is considered that this is due to various design and construction differences such as the estimation of input parameters in analysis, construction period, and the layer thickness of construction. For the overall period of the dam, the settlements were mostly completed during the construction period and some settlements occurred in the early days of impounding and then converged.
