Abstract:

Slope stability is an ongoing issue in ; hilly or mountainous terrains with clay ; rich soil, constructed embankments, ; fluctuating temperature, and changing ; soil moisture conditions. Landslides ; constitute a major geologic hazard, ; occurring in all 50 states. Accurately ; determining the shear plane depth in a ; landslide is needed to devise an effective ; remediation plan. ; Slope inclinometer probing, the ; current method for slope movement ; analysis, is costly to install and monitor, ; and it becomes ineffective in measuring ; large lateral deflections. An economical ; alternative to monitor slopes is electrical ; Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR). ; The cables used to implement TDR in ; slope studies are inexpensive, simple to ; install, and provide long-term ; monitoring of slope movement. ; Measurements take only seconds, a vast ; contrast to the traditional time intensive ; ‘cable pull’ process of inclinometer ; probing.
