Measuring in geotechnics
Measuring in geotechnics
Due to the natural inhomogeneity of the subsoil and the often complex boundary conditions, predictions, e.g. of expected deformations of excavation structures, are associated with uncertainties. DIN 1054 therefore recommends the use of the observation method for construction measures of geotechnical category 3 or complex technical boundary conditions.
The core element of the observation method is the linking of a mostly automated, metrological monitoring of the subsoil and structural behavior and with the forecasts of the numerical simulations carried out in advance, e.g. with the FE method. Another area of application is the verification of calculated stresses on components, e.g. piles, anchors or bracing.
We advise you on the planning of measurement programs, the selection of suitable measurement methods and also carry out the corresponding instrumentation and evaluation for you. In addition, we draw up alarm and action plans, evaluate measurement results and advise you on all metrological issues, e.g. at the interfaces between measurement, building and supporting structure with instructions for action.
