<p>This article presents new results from field tests and numerical simulations regarding the performance of fully grouted piezometers under transient flow conditions. The field observations show that using low-permeability grout for piezometer installation ...

<p>This paper presents results from installations comprising both HAE and LAE filters in fully grouted boreholes and in intimate contact with the ground. It stands out distinctly that high air-entry filters have a high risk ...

<p>The main objective of this project was to appraise the performance of fully grouted piezometers under natural field conditions. The paper introduces a new field site that was established in collaboration with GKM Consultants for this ...

<p>In the planning and design phase of the E16 Sandvika &ndash; W&oslash;yen road project in B&aelig;rum Municipality in Norway, NGI installed a large number of piezometers using the "Fully grouted" installation method. Because of layered soil conditions, ...

In a ground anchor system, cables or tendons connected to a bearing plate are used for stabilization of slopes. Then, the stability of a slope is dependent on maintaining the tension levels in the cables. So far, no research on a strain-based field sensing ...

<p>Continuous monitoring of subsurface ground movements is accomplished with in-place instruments utilizing automated data acquisition methods. These typically include TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) or assemblies of several servo-accelerometer-based, electrolytic ...

<p>In the 19th century the Adige River (Northern Italy) was straightened to prevent flooding and to allow the building of the Verona-Brenner railway by the construction of embankments. At present the river flows between embankments for about 140 km and occasionally ...

<p>This paper reports experimental data on surface and deep displacements evaluated by means of GPS stations and inclinometers in two rototranslational deep landslides in a clayey slope of the Italian Southern Apennines. The displacements of the landslides ...

<p>This paper describes the successful construction of new highway embankments over soft soils alongside existing high-traffic volume highways in the Greater Vancouver area of British Columbia. Highway 10 and Highway 15 intersect at Cloverdale in the City ...

Monitoring data that can be used in conjunction with current numerical capabilities are discussed, including laser scanning and webcams for developing an accurate record of construction activities, and automated and remote instrumentations to measure movements ...
