<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>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, ...

<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 ...

The Spring of 2011 brought heavy rainfall and snowmelt throughout the Midwest, resulting in record flow rates and flood stages on the Lower Mississippi River from Cairo, Illinois to the Gulf of Mexico. In many locations, the flood crested at levels above those ...

<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 ...

This paper reports experiences of leachate addition in a buried vertical well surrounded by multiple piezometers (pressure transducers) over a 2-year period. Data on spatial distribution of pore water pressure in the surrounding waste in response to cumulative ...

The excess pore water pressure developed in the Upper San Fernando Dam during the 1971 San Fernando Earthquake has been evaluated in several studies. Almost all of these studies indicate large excess pore pressure ratios developed only in the upstream and ...

<p>This publication presents the reasons for geotechnical instrumentation and a description of the basic instruments for geotechnical monitoring.</p>

Remote monitoring of slope movement using electronic instrumentation can be an effective approach for many unstable or potentially unstable slopes. Water levels can be observed using vibrating wire piezometers. Movements and deformation can be determined ...

The backfill for a borehole instrument is often an item that receives a disproportionate lack of attention. The behavior of the backfill, the material that is in the most intimate contact with both the formation and the instrument, is critical for obtaining ...
