Abstract

Summary

Here we consider the development and use of geophysical remote-condition-monitoring (RCM) solutions for monitoring slope stability, which have the advantage of providing spatial and volumetric subsurface information with the potential to identify the causal processes leading to slope failure. We illustrate geophysical RCM of transportation infrastructure and third party land, with examples from highways and rail, and with reference to the Hollin Hill Landslide Observatory (HHLO), which has been used to trial candidate technologies, to show the benefit of integrated geophysical-geotechnical monitoring approaches.
