Geotechnical Instrumentation for Monitoring Field Performance

摘要

This synthesis will be of special interest to geotechnical engineers and others seeking information on instrumentation for monitoring performance in subsurface construction. Guidance is provided on acquisition and application of instruments for measuring soil conditions. Geotechnical engineers are making greater use of instrumentation to monitor indicators of field performance such as pore pressure, earth pressure, deformation, load, and strain. This report of the Transportation Research Board provides guidance on selection and use of the necessary geotechnical instrumentation.
