Internet-of-Things-Based Geotechnical Monitoring Boosted by Satellite InSAR Data

Landslides, often a side effect of mining activities, pose significant risk to humans and infrastructures such as urban areas, power lines, dams. Operational ground motion monitoring can help detect the spatial pattern surface changes their evolution over time. In this technical note, commercial, cost-effective method combining network geotechnical sensors with InSAR data was reported for first time accurately monitor displacement. The correlation both sets is demonstrated in Gediminas Castle testbed, where slope failure events were detected. Two specific analyzed, possible causes proposed. combination techniques allows one precursors characterize consequences failures different areas proximity castle walls, since solution confirmation long-term drifts sudden movements real from situ also used refine satellite analysis. results demonstrate that not all direct threat safety structure monitored.
