<p>This publication presents the reasons for geotechnical instrumentation and a description of the basic instruments for geotechnical monitoring.</p>
Reference:
Remote monitoring of slope movement using electronic instrumentation can be an effective approach for many unstable or potentially unstable slopes. Water levels can be observed using vibrating wire piezometers. Movements and deformation can be determined ...
