Abstract

The instruments locating has influence on cost-utility and mining operations. Monitoring rock deformations is important in assessing the stability of rock structures. The instrumentation system enables high precision assessment of strains and displacements. Nowadays, stability of slope in advanced countries is controlled by high-resolution tools and methods for monitoring data evaluation assist in the continuous interpretation of the behavior of ground and support interaction. Instruments can provide early warning of impending failures, allowing time for safe evacuation of the area and time to implement remedial action. Safety monitoring requires quick retrieval, processing, and presentation of data, so that decisions can be made promptly.

Keywords: Instrumentation; stability of slope; locating; geographic information system (GIS); analytical hierarchy process (AHP)
