TUNNELLING IN ROCK. CHAPTER 14: MONITORING AND INSTRUMENTATION IN TUNNEL DESIGN

Chapter 14 describes the measurement of rock mass deformations and defines certain terms used in the specification of rock measurement equipment. The major part of the chapter is arranged under the following headings: 1 - types, uses and characteristics of instruments - a) control of advancing face and overbreak; b) deformation measurements; C) strain and stress measurements; D) measurements in concrete; e) load measurements; F) pore pressure measurements; 2 - installations of stations and monitoring; 3 - interpretation and presentation of results. /TRRL/
