GEOTECHNICAL INSTRUMENTATION NEWS
• Chapter 95. Types of geotechnical
instrumentation and their usage.
There are two sections:
à
à
Types of geotechnical in-
strumentation
. Instruments
are described for monitoring
groundwater pressure, de-
formation, load and strain in
structural members and total
stress. The section includes
applications, descriptions of
how each instrument works,
with schematic diagrams, and
various other details intended
to help the user.
à
à
Usage of Instrumentation.
The
section indicates the general
role of instrumentation for 12
types of construction proj-
ects. For each project type a
table summarizes the possible
geotechnical questions that
may lead to the use of instru-
mentation, and indicates some
of the types of instruments that
can be considered for helping
to provide answers to those
questions.
These two chapters can be down-
loaded for $30 each. As an alternative
to ordering on the website, you can
use e-mail, orders@pssc.com, or tele-
phone (978) 829-2544.
Websites of manufacturers of
geotechnical instrumentation
Table 1 lists websites of manufactur-
ers with a wide range of products and
Table 2 lists websites of manufacturers
of specialized products, indicating the
product types. I recognize that these
tables are bound to be incomplete,
despite efforts to be as comprehensive
as possible. I’ve limited these lists
to manufacturers, and have made no
attempt to include service compa-
nies—to include them would be an
unachievable challenge.
