Advances in Unstable Slope Instrumentation and Monitoring
Geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring technologies have been
used to inform safety, operational, and treatment decisions for unstable slopes.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's
NCHRP Synthesis 554:
Advances in Unstable Slope Instrumentation and Monitoring
documents and synthesizes the state of practice for implementation and use of
advancements in unstable slope instrumentation and monitoring by state departments of transportation
over approximately
the last decade.
The types of
instrumentation and monitoring technologies range from devices installed on or in slopes
to remote-sensing methods from ground, aerial, or satellite-based systems.
