FIELD MEASUREMENTS IN GEOMECHANICS. PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM, ZURICH, SEPTEMBER 5-8 1983. VOLUME 2

Field measurements are an indispensable means of safety control of structures in their different stages of construction and during their service life. They provide a tool for economic design by revealing the actual behaviour of the structure thus permitting the calibration of initial models or initial assumptions. The main objective of the symposium was to review current techniques of field measurement in geomechanics. The papers in this volume are presented under three headings: Foundations of Large Dams; Underground Openings; and Radioactive Waste Disposal. (TRRL)
