Abstract:

This manual provides the practicing geotechnical engineer with a thorough understanding of the use of geotechnical instrumentation in highway construction. The manual presents an overview of measurement methods and tools, and recommends a systematic and complete approach to planning monitoring programs. Issues that lead to the use of instrumentation for various types of construction such as soil and rock slopes, embankments, deep foundations, earth retaining structures, preloading programs, and grouting are identified and appropriate instruments are recommended. Finally, general guidelines are provided for various field tasks such as calibration, maintenance and installation of instruments, collection of instrumentation data, processing and presentation of collected data, interpretation of processed data and reporting of the results. A practical checklist for planning a geotechnical instrumentation program is included. Student exercises for planning monitoring programs and for data evaluation are also included.
