LANDSLIDES: INVESTIGATION AND MITIGATION. CHAPTER 11 - FIELD INSTRUMENTATION
This chapter focuses on field instrumentation and measurement techniques associated with permanent borehole installations that serve to measure subsurface behavior. Typical instruments are piezometers for measuring groundwater pressures and inclinometers and extensometers for ground-displacement measurements. Information is also included on automated data recording and transmission, the case histories of five recent landslide monitoring projects that feature a variety of instrumentation issues, and problems preventing further development of new instrumentation technology.
