Features: This book introduces geotechnical monitoring instruments manufactured by foreign companies such as the UK's SoilInstruments, Canada's Roctest, the U.S.'s SlopeIndecater, Switzerland's Smartee, Switzerland's SolexpertsAG, and the U.S.'s AppliedGeochanice. These instruments cover various types for monitoring water level, pressure, displacement, settlement, stress, strain, inclination, and temperature, totaling 172 types. The book provides detailed explanations of the principles, applications, and technical specifications of each instrument. To promote and introduce advanced foreign technologies, we have translated the English materials of these foreign monitoring instruments into Chinese and compiled this specialized book on foreign geotechnical monitoring instruments. This book can serve as a reference for professionals in the fields of water conservancy, hydropower, transportation, railways, mining, and civil engineering involved in geotechnical safety monitoring design, construction, supervision, research, management, and teaching.
