Summary

The course includes basic principles of geotechnical monitoring, basic principles of monitoring systems and an overview of methods and instrumentation equipment that can be used for monitoring stress in the rock or the environment. the reinforcement, reinforcement loads, deformations, subsidence, water pressure, water flow, seismic activity, radon (load cells, inclinometers, konvergometry, extensometer, piezometer, settlement of sensors, indicators of water flow, etc.). In this course, students are also acquainted with the design of monitoring for various types of underground structures, slopes and embankments, and treatment options resulting monitoring data, including any back analysis.

Lectures: 1. Geotechnical monitoring, its main functions and components. 2. Basic principles of measurement systems. 3. Measurement of the initial stress of rock mass - the deformational method, compensation methods, reloading method, hydrofracturing. 4. Convergence measurements, the measurements of cracks and faults propagation. 5. Extensometer and inclinometer measurements, monitoring of rocks displacements by using of fragile plates. 6. Groundwater Monitoring - monitoring of water pressure and flow direction groundwater. 7. Monitoring of stress and loading on support. 8. Monitoring settlement and large deformation, temperature control monitoring. 9. Monitoring of seismic activity and radon. 10. Design of monitoring of underground structures. 11. Project monitoring of slopes and embankments. 12. Back analysis, principles and methods. Exercise: 1. Implementation of convergence measurement, evaluation. 2. Inclinometer measurements - implementation and evaluation. 3. Monitoring of relative displacements in the direction of the axis of the borehole - extensometer measurements. 4. Monitoring of water pressure by piezometer. 5.Practical acquaintance with the possibilities of monitoring of stress and loading - the direct and indirect methods. 6. Design of a monitoring system for underground structures. 7. Design of the monitoring system of slopes and embankments. 8. Back analysis, calculation program INVERZET. 9. Final test, credit. Tasks: 1. Implementation of back calculation for determining the deformation characteristics of the geological environment. 2. Design a monitoring project.
