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>In coal mines, whenever explosions occur, the rescue work is done by rescue workers without any prior knowledge of the environmental condition inside coal mine because the mine monitoring systems may be destroyed or damaged. This makes the life of rescue ...

<p>Tunnel accident is apt to become a serious disaster when it occurs. But tunnel construction is being increased rapidly in Korea because tunnel has advantages and usefulness. According to Korean Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs, total length ...

This paper employs a case history to describe deployment of new TDR cable and communication technologies to monitor stability. It involves remotely monitoring possible sinkhole-induced deformation near a “land bridge” installed over a recent subsidence event. ...
