A Guide to Field Instrumentation in Geotechnics

Focusing on the conceptual philosophy of instrument use, this book systematically explores practical applications, categorizing them into displacement-dominated and stress recording systems. It delves into the limitations and theoretical foundations for data assessment and presentation, incorporating essential elements of theoretical soil mechanics. Additionally, advanced electronic techniques like laser scanning and fiber optics are discussed, alongside communication and data recovery systems, providing a comprehensive understanding of modern instrumentation.
