<p>This paper presents the features of sophisticated instrumentation available today for geotechnical monitoring. A wide range of sophistic have been described with their applications ted electronic and mechanical instrumentation with different instrumentation ...

As with most highway bridges, railway transitions experience differential movements due to differences in track system stiffness, track damping characteristics, foundation type, ballast settlement from fouling and/or degradation, as well as fill and subgrade ...

<p>This paper presents the design, construction and back analysis of the basement retaining wall of a major commercial development in Bogota, Colombia. The development consists of 4 eleven-story office towers, and 4 basements for car parking use, occupying ...

The development of strain and long instrumented postdriving grouted cylinder piles is presented.

<p>The increased use of underground space for transportation systems and the increasing complexity and constraints of constructing and maintaining above ground transportation infrastructure have prompted the need to develop this technical manual. This FHWA ...

CSIO, Chandigarh has designed and developed an instrument network around standard geotechnical and geophysical sensors and advanced associated electronics. Network was installed in 2006 for continuous instrumental monitoring of the site at Mansa Devi near ...

To monitor slope movement and the factors which influence it, Arup and the GEO have developed a fully automated system for collecting and reporting field monitoring data. The instruments collect readings at designated intervals and upload them to a secure ...

The Transportation Research Board’s (TRB) Soil and Rock Instrumentation Committee initiated the development of an e-circular on the use of inclinometers to facilitate technology transfer to state department of transportation (DOT) engineers and researchers ...

<p>The purpose of this Circular is to provide updated information on the state of the practice for the use of inclinometers on highway projects. This instrument technology has more than 50 years of experience. Data evaluation and correction procedures have ...

<p>Due to the ongoing revolution in electronics and communications more cost-effective geotechnical instruments can be manufactured using digital technology. This new generation of digital instruments have embedded microcontrollers that provide highly accurate ...
