Abstract : Unstable and high cutting rock slopes are inevitably encountered during the construction of dams, powerhouses, quarries, highways, housing developments works, etc. in the mountainous regions. Monitoring of these slopes through instrumentation and using transmission technology may provide immediate warning to people living in these areas from hazards. Many types of instruments such as extensometers, tiltmeters; inclinometers etc. and their data transmission systems are available for such monitoring. Types/causes of slope failure and need/importance of geotechnical instrumentation have been discussed in this paper. In addition, a case study of slope monitoring of Vyasi dam powerhouse through instrumentation has been also presented.
