Field Measurements in Geomechanics

The 98 papers from the December 1999 symposium report on new technologies and monitoring approaches in field geotechnical instrument measurements, and case studies on geotechnical projects.
Topics: Special lectures: Field measurements and instrumentation in the 20th century; Interpretation of the results of displacement measurements in geotechnical engineering projects; Systematic approach to planning monitoring programs using geotechnical instrumentation: An update. New technologies and developments in field measurements; Management of instrumentation in geomechanics; Deep excavations and retaining structures; Tunnelling and underground openings; Land reclamation, soil improvement, geo-environmental and geosynthetics; Field tests to determine soil and rock properties.
