| John Dunnicliff (Geotechnical Instrumentation Consultant, Lexington, Massachusetts) |
| This is the first complete book on the use of geotechnical instrumentation for the monitoring of civil engineering projects that has been written by a practitioner for other practitioners.
It offers detailed guidance on when to monitor safety and performance, and how to do it well. Describes the planning of monitoring programs and the writing of construction specifications. Describes and evaluates monitoring methods, selection of instruments, instrument calibration, installation, and maintenance, and the collection, processing, and interpretation of instrumental data.
