Geotechnical instrumentation is used for installation,
monitoring and assessment on any sizeable project, particularly in
urban areas, and is used for recording, controlled remedial work,
and safety.
This unique and up-to-date book deals with the conceptual
philosophy behind the use of instruments, and then systematically
covers their practical use. It is divided into displacement
dominated systems and stress recording systems. The limitations are
discussed and the theoretical background for data assessment and
presentation are covered in some detail, with some relevant
background material in theoretical soil mechanics. Relevant
advanced electronic techniques such as laser scanning in surveying
and fibre-optics are also included and communication and data
recovery systems are discussed.
It is written for senior designers, consulting engineers and
major contractors who need a major introduction to the general
purpose, availability and analysis of field instruments before
details of their own project can be progressed, and serves as a
text book to any specialist geotechnical MSc or professional
seminar course in which instrumentation forms a major part.
