<p><p><strong>References:<br></strong><em>Bo and Choa (2004)</em></p><p><strong>Method Summary</strong></p><p>Inclinometers are used to measure the lateral displacement at different depths during consolidation. The lateral movements can be calculated using the equation below.</p><p><strong>Accuracy and Precision</strong></p><p>Inclinometers provide accurate measurements of lateral movements with depth.</p><p><strong>Adequacy of Coverage</strong></p><p>Sufficient coverage requires multiple inclinometers to evaluate lateral movements below the surface.</p><p><strong>Implementation Requirements </strong></p><p>The method requires minimal experience, and it is easy to take reading from the equipment.</p><p><strong>General Comments</strong></p><p>Inclinometers are a good indicator of the progress for projects and should be utilized for sites were stability is a concern. By tracking lateral ground movement during, and after fill placement, the stability of the site can be assessed.</p></p>
