Monitoring Landfill Movements Using Precise Instruments
SourceInvestigations of landfill movements usually consist of measurements of settlement at the ground surface. This project consisted of installing instruments inside vertical borings drilled through a landfill in order to monitor both vertical and horizontal movements at various depths. Following two years of monitoring the data suggests that vertical strain rates are independent of depth while horizontal movements on slopes are greatest near the surface and diminish with depth. No permanent displacements occurred during a magnitude 6.1 earthquake.
