Course aims

The aim is to extend the knowledge of geotechnical monitoring methods, their limiting factors, selection criteria, monitoring devices and methods of evaluation and interpretation of the results of the monitoring measurements. Doctoral student should pass this course to be able to set goals and possibilities of monitoring measurements for a given specific situation, propose appropriate monitoring project, evaluate the terms of the installation of individual monitoring devices, their reliability and explanatory power, and analyze and interpret the results of the monitoring measurements. One of the goals of the course is to acquaint students with the methods of back analysis and its use for the input data objectification of mathematical models.
