By Myrvoll, F.

A wide cross-section of papers from the sixth Internation Symposium FMGM in Oslo September 2003 detailing the newest advancements in geomechanical box dimension know-how and techniques. Taking in a variety of real-world purposes from tunnels to off-shore constructions, those papers examine either theoretical and functional facets of the topic and verify performances within the box, delivering a wealth of data for pros and researchers attracted to box measurements, soil and granular mechanics, engineering, geology or development

Handbook of Modern Sensors: Physics, Designs, and Applications

The Handbook's insurance of sensors is large, starting from basic photodiodes to complicated units containing elements together. It deals hard-to-find reference information at the houses of various fabrics and sensing parts and emphasizes units which are much less famous, whose know-how remains to be being subtle, and whose use allows the dimension of variables that have been formerly inaccessible.

Quantum Measurements and Decoherence: Models and Phenomenology

Quantum size (Le. , a size that's sufficiently certain for quantum results to be crucial) used to be regularly the most impor­ tant issues in quantum mechanics since it such a lot obviously published the adaptation among quantum and classical physics. Now quantum degree­ ment is back less than energetic research, to start with as a result of useful necessity of facing hugely certain and intricate measurements.

Design and management of the construction works were carried out by the Lotti & Associati SpA: engineers involved were Mr. Guido Visentini as the dam designer and Mr. Saverio Baccini as the Director of Works. qxd 7/29/03 10:23 AM Page 24 2 MONITORING SYSTEM In the following paragraphs the history of the monitoring system is examined from the first phase during the construction till the last upgrade completed in 2002. All the expansion and upgrade was aimed to increase the collection of the information and in the meantime to reduce the time between data collection, data process and analysis and the preparation of periodic reports concerning the dam behavior.

2003) adopted effective stress design values for the Gault Clay of 1 kPa and 24° for cpЈ and wpЈ. Residual values for crЈ and wrЈ of zero and 14° were employed in sheared zones. 3 CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE The initial construction activities involved the earthworks necessary to construct a working platform and haul road for the piling rig, cranes, and concreting lorries, so that piles could be installed about 25 m upslope from the M25 kerb line. The rig which was used to install the 1050 mm diameter and 16 m long piles at 2500 mm centres was a Soilmec 622 (Fig.

Hydro SpA, Bergamo, Italy ABSTRACT: Castreccioni Dam is located on the Musone river in the Cingoli area of Macerata in the central part of Italy. The dam is a concrete gravity dam. The authors would like to present the technical solutions adopted during the years, which based on the collected data allowed the continuous upgrading of the monitoring system. The scope of each upgrading was for the purpose of increasing knowledge of dam behaviour and aimed at optimizing water resource management.
