We present a custom acoustic emission (AE) monitoring system designed to perform long-term measurements on high-alpine rock walls. AE monitoring is a common technique for characterizing damage evolution in solid materials. The system is based on a two-channel ...

This paper addresses application of microseismic event monitoring system in excavation of highly stressed rock mass in underground oil storage caverns. The locations and magnitudes of microseismic events were determined using a network of 12 uniaxial sensors. ...

This paper presents the issue of executing dynamic monitoring not only on special projects or after problems have occurred.

This paper presents the issue of appropriate impact to fully mobilize the pile capacity for a dynamic test to provide accurate results of pile capacity.

For all monitored piles, static loading tests were carried out to failure and the results compared to ultimate resistances determined in a CAPWAP analysis.
