  • The use of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) accelerometers in geotechnical instrumentation is relatively new but on the rise. This paper describes a new MEMS-based system for in situ deformation and vibration monitoring. The system has been developed in an effort to combine recent advances in the miniaturization of sensors and electronics with an established wireless infrastructure for on-line geotechnical monitoring. The concept is based on triaxial MEMS accelerometer measurements of static acceleration (angles relative to gravity) and dynamic accelerations. The dynamic acceleration sensitivity range provides signals proportional to vibration during earthquakes or construction activities. This MEMS-based in-place inclinometer system utilizes the measurements to obtain three-dimensional (3D) ground acceleration and permanent deformation profiles up to a depth of one hundred meters. Each sensor array or group of arrays can be connected to a wireless earth station to enable real-time monitoring as well as remote sensor configuration. This paper provides a technical assessment of MEMS-based in-place inclinometer systems for geotechnical instrumentation applications by reviewing the sensor characteristics and providing small- and full-scale laboratory calibration tests. A description and validation of recorded field data from an instrumented unstable slope in California is also presented.

  • Field instrumentation has been important part of construction management in embankment on soft ground. Most of all, well organized plan, instrumentation, maintenance, analysis and feed-back to the construction procedure are the key to the successful construction. In this paper, We review problems of field instrumentation has been performed at road construction on soft ground. And then, several proposals to improve field instrumentation and management are suggested

  • 본 연구에서는 지반구조물에서 수집된 계측데이터를 대상으로 확률통계적 방법을 사용한 상태평가를 위한 분석기법과 자동화 프로그램을 개발하였다. 복잡한 지반구조물에 설치한 계측시스템으로부터 수집된 계측자료의 평가를 위해서는 자료처리(data driven) 기반의 비모수적(non-parametric) 모델링 방법이 유용할 것으로 판단된다. 실제 지반구조물(보강토옹벽 및 터널)에서 수집된 센싱 데이터를 이용하여 개발된 평가기법의 검증을 실시한 결과 환경적 요인과는 구별되는 구조적 거동을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • For many soft ground embankment projects , instrumentation programs for stability and settlement management is being essential . This usually leads to generate large volume of data, which can be used for further research. Database technique is most effective method for data management . Data produced by soft ground embankment instrumentation can not be used by itself but must be reproduced using geotechnical analysis technique. In this study, a intelligent database system for softground called IDSIM was developed to examine applicability intellgent database. . The IDSIM analysis instrumentation data automatically and present results by Web/DB interface successfully.

  • This paper presents the results of instrumentation of a two-level of soil-reinforced segmental retaining wall. Instrumentation items include the lateral wall displacements and the geogrid strains at several locations. The instrumentation is still long carried in order to examine long-term behavior. The result indicate that the upper wall has a significant effect on the behavior of the lower wall doubling the wall moved. The wall also exhibits significant post-construction movements that had ceased several months after the wall completed. The implication of the findings from this study was discussed in great detail.

  • The cost needed for the construction and management of highways in the whole nation is rapidly growing so the research that can decrease the cost is required. However, most of the highway specs have simply converted from those of other countries, including USA. Therefore, some of our design and construction specs were not the optimum ones based on our own situation, requiring a research under the actual traffic and environment of our nation. The use of test road develops many aspects of highway engineering. Those are evaluation of construction materials, a general overview of korea pavement design and serviceability under the actual traffic and environmental condition of the nation. It is also economical and efficient compared to the trial construction of each item in spreaded form. A test road, 7.7km long with two lanes, is being constructed on the Inner Central Expressway. In this test road, 2.7km is planned for asphalt pavement and 3.4km is planned for concrete pavement. Three test bridges and five earth retaining structures will be included in the test road. Based on the master plan, the major performance was progressing such as detailed research modules of each area, preliminary research for the future research, sensor surveys for the behavior analyses of pavements and structures with installation methods and data acquisition systems, the foundation research of Integrated Instrumentation System and the Management Plan for automated measurement. Some area(structure research division, geotechnical research division) was designed the instrumentation plan because some instrument sensors must be installed during the construction of the test road. And then the instrumentation plan of each area was enforcing because a large majority of the instrument sensors must be installed after the construction of the test road. The field surveys with material property tests and pilot instrumentation test with sensor tests was also performing in accordance with the construction in the field.
