Instrumentation in Geotechnical Engineering
The course Instrumentation in Geotechnical Engineering is designed to provide students with an understanding of the use of instrumentation for obtaining field data in geotechnical engineering. The course covers topics such as the design and selection of instrumentation systems, data acquisition and processing, and interpretation of data from instruments such as piezometers, inclinometers, and settlement plates. The objectives of the course are to provide students with the ability to design and implement instrumentation systems for obtaining field data, to understand the principles of data acquisition and processing, and to be able to interpret and analyze data from various instruments.
Course Outcomes
ØTo learn about various types of geotechnical instrumentation used to obtain field data such as water pressure, soil movement, and settlement.
ØTo understand the differences between wired and wireless instrumentation systems and how to choose the appropriate system for a given application.
ØTo understand the importance of calibration, data validation, and quality control in instrumentation systems.
ØTo recognize the significance of geotechnical instrumentation in obtaining accurate and reliable data for designing and monitoring geotechnical structures.
ØTo develop skills and knowledge necessary to work with geotechnical instrumentation and to execute field investigations in geotechnical engineering.
