Overview
A good instrumentation and monitoring system with proper installation, protection, recording and data analysis could avoid catastrophic site incident. These instrumentations play an important role in design verification and safety monitoring especially during construction stage. The recorded data are also useful for big data analysis for prediction of future movement. Therefore, it is of foremost importance that engineers should be equipped with the knowledge on the different functions of geotechnical instrumentations, their installation method and how the readings are taken so that they could better plan and design the system to get their desired data.
Objectives
This course will cover the essential knowledge of selecting the right type of instrument and the skill to interpret the readings obtained, the good practices in installation of the instruments and statutory requirements.
