Laboratory Study on the Performance of In-Place-Inclinometer

Adam Hammerlindl, Jitendra S. Sharma

In the proceedings of: GeoMontréal 2013: 66th Canadian Geotechnical Conference; 11th joint with IAH-CNC

Session: Instrumentation I

ABSTRACT: This laboratory study evaluated the capabilities and limitations of IPI instrumentation under laboratory conditions. The study emulated typical field installation techniques, as well as test installation techniques different than recommended by the manufacturer. Multiple orientations and placements were tested to simulate field installation errors and determine if typical installation methods could be improved upon.

RÉSUMÉ: Cette étude de laboratoire a évalué les capacités et les limites de l'instrumentation sur place, inclinomètre (IPI) dans des conditions de laboratoire. L'étude émule des techniques d'installation typiques utilisées sur le terrain, en plus de tester des techniques d'installation différentes de celles recommandée par le fabricant. Plusieurs orientations et placements ont été testés pour simuler les erreurs d'installation sur le terrain et pour déterminer si les méthodes d'installation typiques pourraient être améliorées.
