Highway embankment reinforcement • Geotextile base layer • 4 layers of geogrids
Monitoring systems • Monitoring Program Comprises 2 systems • 1 Monitoring of vertical movements (the detection of possible faults or sinkholes) • 2 Monitoring deformation of the geogrid reinforcement • Purpose • Identify areas of deformation (sink holes) • Minimize reaction time for repair • Data Acquisition System (by NeoStrain) • Measurements every hour • Data sent to central processing unit • All data keptfor 30 years
Monitoring systems • Monitoring Program Comprises 2 systems • 1 Monitoring of vertical movements
Anchor Wire Extensometer Anchor Vertical movements cause elongation of the wire extensometer Wire is connected to 200mm range Model 4450 VW Displacement Transducer
Highway embankment reinforcement • Geotextile base layer • 4 layers of geogrids
Wire Extensometers Anchor points Location of the sink hole is indicated by the intersection of 2 wire extensometers
Monitoring systems • Monitoring Program Comprises 2 systems • 2 Monitoring deformation of the geogrid reinforcement
Monitoring of geogrid Consists of vibrating wire displacement transducers permanently mounted, 2m x 2m spacing, on the first layer of geogrid Measurement of increasing deformation indicates increasing load carried by the geogrid Special clamps attach vibrating wire displacement transducers in such a way not to damage or weaken the performance of the geogrid
