This thesis combines field and laboratory measurements with three dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEM) to demonstrate the use of Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) cable-grout composites to measure localized shearing in soft soil. Past field installations of TDR cable-grout composites in rock have lead to its widespread use in the...
This thesis presents the application of Time Domain Reflectometry technology in nine case studies. Presented in detail are cable and grout installation techniques, data acquisition instrumentation and autonomous real time monitoring of soil deformation using TDR. The goal of this work is to summarize the state of the technology in...
