3. Auscultation plan
An auscultation plan must identify the parameters to be measured to ensure proper monitoring of the structure. Next, the monitoring plan defines the position and number of measurement points to ensure proper monitoring of the phenomena without altering them through the presence of instrumentation. Finally, the sensors are chosen according to the specific characteristics of the structure: measurement range, budget, environmental conditions, etc.
3.1 Parameters to follow
The parameters to be monitored must provide information on the behavior of the structure and the evolution of the mechanisms over time. It's up to the geotechnical engineer to define these parameters and to define the ranges of values to be measured, based on the results of the pre-dimensioning...
