This a slightly conceptual question, but it was inspired by a question that a client asked me. Suppose I am excavating a horizontal boring through some silty clay about 5 ft in diameter and 50 feet below ground surface. Let's say the water is about 10 feet below ground surface.
Assuming you...
Thanks for the help all. The inclinometer data I have such far suggests relatively small movement, so thus far I have nothing to be concerned with. The net displacement is on the order of .006 inches over 6 months.
It's kind of a smaller dam (for a storage pond, actually). Fortunately, we have...
Are there any good publications/papers on how to interpret inclinometer data?
Specifically, I am trying to find some sort of rule of thumb that would let me know when a slide may be occuring. We are installing an inclinometer in a dam that has had some localized slope failures.
What I'm...
