INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEMS FOR SELBORNE CUTTING STABILITY EXPERIMENT
A full-scale cutting slope failure experiment has been carried out at Selborne, Hampshire, England. The experiment used an extensive instrumentation system comprising inclinometer tubes, string inclinometers, piezometers, and surface wire extensometers. A high proportion of the instruments were connected to an electronic data gathering system that incorporated alarm-level outputs. Slope failure was successfully induced by pore-pressure recharge. The rationale of instrument selection and the performance of all the instrumentation systems in capturing comprehensive data are described.
