<p>This paper presents the measurement principle of the SOFO system as well as examples of application to the monitoring of three tunnels. The Luzzone dam tunnel was excavated using conventional blasting techniques; the SOFO sensors were installed in radial ...
Reference: Reducing Risk in Tunnel Design and Construction, 7-8.12.1998, Basel Switzerland
<p>Over the past two decades, various numerical methods of analysis have become popular in the field of geotechnical engineering. However the accuracy of numerical analyses varies considerably, primarily because of the uncertainteis involved in modelling complex ...
