Real-Time Insight in Geotechnical Risks; Monitoring During the Observational Method
نویسنده
چکیده
Designing challenges engineers to develop both economically attractive and safe designs. This might seem a paradox, but with the application of the observational method, wherein safety is checked by real-time monitoring, economic design and safety are united. The observational method is recently successfully applied in the Netherlands during the excavation works of the double layered tunnel across densely populated central Maastricht. The uncertainties in the limestone conditions and possible karst holes, combined with a length 2.5 km of tunnel, made the observational method very applicable. This paper outlines the application of state of the art real-time monitoring techniques as vital part of the observational methods’ success. The individual components of the monitoring network will be discussed with an emphasis on reliability and availability of data. Actual data is presented and attention is paid to the essential relation of the monitoring team with the geotechnical engineers and excavation crew.

Fuzzy Network Analysis for Projects with High Level of Risks – Uncertainty in Time and Structure
In order to have better insight of project characteristics, different kinds of fuzzy analysis for project networks have been recently proposed, most of which consider activities duration as the main and only source of imprecision and vagueness, but as it is usually experienced in real projects, the structure of the network is also subject to changes. In this paper we consider three types of i...
متن کاملMonitoring the censored lognormal reliability data in a three-stage process using AFT model
Improving the product reliability is the main concern in both manufacturing and service processes which is obtained by monitoring the reliability-related quality characteristics. Nowadays, products or services are the result of processes with dependent stages referred to as multistage processes. In these processes, the quality characteristic in each stage is affected by the quality characterist...

Background: Arterial pressure is one of the most important physiological variables and often needs to be monitored repeatedly or continuously in perioperative period. Arterial pressure monitoring is one of the standard monitoring in operating room. During general anesthesia, blood pressure can be measured by using a noninvasive arterial pressure method or continuous invasive arterial pressure b...
متن کاملKalman Filters in Geotechnical Monitoring of Ground Subsidence Using Data from MEMS Sensors
The fast development of wireless sensor networks and MEMS make it possible to set up today real-time wireless geotechnical monitoring. To handle interferences and noises from the output data, Kalman filter can be selected as a method to achieve a more realistic estimate of the observations. In this paper, a one-day wireless measurement using accelerometers and inclinometers was deployed on top ...
متن کاملProposed new signal for real-time stress monitoring: Combination of physiological measures
Human stress is a physiological tension that appears when a person responds to mental, emotional, or physical chal-lenges. Detecting human stress and developing methods to manage it, has become an important issue nowadays. Au-tomatic stress detection through physiological signals may be a useful method for solving this problem. In most of the earlier studies, long-term time window was considere...
