Geotechnical Instrumentation

The purpose of geotechnical instrumentation is to monitor and measure the behaviour of soil, rock, and structures under different conditions and loads. Geotechnical instrumentation involves using specialised sensors and instruments to gather data on factors such as strain, stress, deformation, pore pressure, temperature, and vibration.

Geotechnical instrumentation is used in a variety of applications, including:

1. Construction

Geotechnical instrumentation is used during construction to monitor the performance of foundations, retaining walls, tunnels, and other structures. This helps to ensure that the construction is progressing as planned and that the structures are safe and stable.

2. Slope stability

Geotechnical instrumentation monitors the stability of slopes and embankments. This helps to identify potential landslides or other slope failures and to design appropriate stabilisation measures.

3.Earthquake engineering

Geotechnical instrumentation monitors the response of structures and soils to earthquakes. This helps to improve our understanding of seismic behaviour and to develop more effective earthquake-resistant designs.

Overall, the purpose of geotechnical instrumentation is to provide valuable data and insights into the behaviour of soils, rocks, and structures, which can be used to improve design, construction, and safety in various applications.
