What does a piezometer measure?
Consider how pressure relates to water in soil.
What data do fiber optic sensors provide?
Think about the physical properties related to stability.
What is the primary function of a piezometer?
Think of how pressure relates to water in soil.
True or False: Inclinometers can automatically trigger alerts if soil movement is detected.
Consider what makes a sensor 'smart'.
Design a geotechnical monitoring system incorporating piezometers, inclinometers, and MEMS-based sensors for a proposed embankment project. Consider cost, durability, and data requirements in your design.
Think about how each sensor contributes to the overall safety of the project.
Evaluate the effectiveness of fiber optic sensors compared to traditional electrical sensors in a seismic monitoring scenario. Discuss their strengths and weaknesses.
Consider environmental factors that could affect each type of sensor.
