This paper describes the potential of wireless sensing networks to improve geotechnical field monitoring and the use of wireless sensors in two on-going geotechnical research projects. Both studies are Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation Research ...

This Technical Note presents a back-analysis of the axial response of some field-scale tubular displacement piles installed by jacking. This study was motivated by the recent development of large pile-jacking rigs.

Developments occurring in electronics and instrumentation promise to lower the cost and improve the reliability of electronic systems to monitor geotechnical instrumentation. The miniaturization of electronics, reduction of power consumption, reduced component ...

This manual covers the application of engineering principles by experienced engineers of soil mechanics in the design of foundations and earth structures for naval shore facilities. The contents include identification and classification of soil and rock, ...

<p>Geotechnical instruments are used widely as a complementary tool to geodetic methods in monitoring natural and man-made structures. This paper provides an overview of geotechnical instruments used in structural monitoring. The transducers commonly used ...
