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.
