Research on the Maintenance and Protection of the Inclinometer and Inclinometer Tube in Foundation Ditch Monitoring

Abstract:

This paper begins with a brief introduction of the installation method of the inclinometer tube and some related problems. And then the basic principle of the inclinometer is described. Afterwards, methods for the maintenance and protection of the inclinometer tube and the inclinometer in practical application are discussed according to engineering projects of foundation ditch monitoring. Finally, some solutions and advices on this issue are proposed. Nowadays, the cutting depth of foundation ditch is on the increase. And more and more foundation ditches are located on districts with dense ground facilities. Influenced by the nature of underground soil, loading conditions, construction techniques and many other factors, a foundation ditch may collapse and it may lead to cracks or even collapse of the surrounding buildings. So it is important to use precise inclinometers and carry out maintenance on them to eliminate safety hazards. The inclinometer technology is supposed to get a general understanding of the deformation characteristics and the deformation shape of the slope by monitoring the offset of the foundation ditch soil relative to the original condition. And based on this, displacement at different depths of the soil can be calculated, and it can be monitored whether the soil will lose stability. Thus, we can guide the construction more scientifically, reasonably and safely.
