INTRODUCTION TO SYMPOSIUM ON RELIABILITY OF GEOTECHNICAL INSTRUMENTATION

Background on the development of concepts of reliability of geotechnical instrumentation is presented. Emphasis is placed on learning from successful experiences as well as unsuccessful experiences or failures. Definitions of reliability are given, but uniform methods of characterizing reliability for geotechnical instrumentation remain to be developed.
