iii BURLAND, JB BUILDING RESEARCH STATION, WATFORD, GB MOORE,JF BUILDING RESEARCH STATION, WAT~YSRD,GB The measurement of ground displacement around deep excavations. In Field Instrumentation in Geotech. Engng.Proc. Symposit~n BGS, May 1973. 14F,4R. B~,'I'mmgORTHS,LONDON, 1973, P70-84. The paper describes types of movements around excavations and a variety of equipment and measurement techniques used in monitoring. The most effective base for surveying instrt~nents is datum pillar; inclinometers are used for measuring the inclination of a borehole at various depths; magnet extensometers are used in horizontal, vertical and inclined boreholes; the micrometer rod is helpful when displacements around excavations occur under approximately plane strain conddtions e.g. behind a long diaphragm wall. The methods given in the paper have been developed as a result of experience gained on construction sites. 112 MARSLAND, A BUILDING RESEARCH STATION WATFORD, GB EASON, BJ BUILDING RESEARCH STATION WATFORD, GB Measurement of displacements in the ground below loaded plates in deep boreholes. In Field Instrumentation in Geotech.Engng.Proc. Symposium BGS, 1973. 7F, IT, 9R. BUITEEWORTHS, LONDON, 1973, P304-317. Equipment has been developed for measuring displacement in the ground below large diameter plate loading tests. This equipment can be quickly installed in s confined space at the bottom of a 900 m. borehole. Typical measurements obtained using this equil~nent are given.

Results of tests performed using a 1.8-m(6-ft) diameter flexible based tank capable of being filled with 3.6m (12ft) of water are presented. Two series of tests were performed on a muskeg with an undrained shear strength of 5-7.SkN/m2(100-1501b/sq.ft). The first consisted of filling the tank alone and the second with the tank positioned at the centre of a 4.5-m (15-ft) diameter 0.6m(2ft) high flexible based reservoir. The results thus simulate the comparison of the effect of berms on the stability of embankments. Consideration is given to the short term effect of berms where they are constructed rapidly at the same time as t h e central fill and the long term effect where they and the central fill are constructed slowly. The resulting vertical movements were measured using a torpedo settlement gauge. The horizontal movements were measured using an inclinometer as well as a horizo1~@al m o ~ m ~ r ~ device. The pore pressures were measured uslng fine stoned piezometers Laboratory tests were conducted to compare predicted a.r~ measured results. Auth.

Analysis of the settlement records shcws that preloading has been beneficial in reducir~ the coefficient of secorzlary compression of the peat. Preloading was simulated in the laboratory by means of oedometer tests on peat samples; both the laboratory results and the field observations revealed a remarkable agreement between the duration of the surcharga stage and the ti1~ for rebound to be complete after removal of the s~charge.
