Changes in tilt can occur when nearby construction activity affects the ground that supports the structure. Activities such as excavation. cunneling. or dewatering may cause setlement or lateral deforma- tion. Placement of surcharges and pressure grouting may cause heave. Changes in tilt are also caused when a Joad is applied to a structure. Dam impoundment, excavation behind a diaphragm wall, or wind and waffic on a bridge deck are examples of this. Beam sensors differ-from tiltmeters in two important respects: First. the beam sensor has a defined gauge length. typically 1 10 3 meters. so changes in tilt can be converted simply and accurately to millime- ters of movement (settlement, heave. convergence. or lateral dis- placement). Second, beam sensors can be linked end-to-end to monitor differential movements and provide absolute displacement and settlement profiles. Tiltmeters typically have a more limited function. that of monitoring rotation. A Gltmeter can be used with a large number of tilt plates to detect differential movernent in a structure, but the resulting data cannot provide absolute displacement and semlement profiles. In general, however, both types of sensors can be used to: C Monitor stabilization measures. such as pressure grouting and underpinning. CQ Monitor structures for the effects of tunneling and excavating. Ci Evaluate the performance of bridges. beams, and dams under load. 0 Monitor the stability of scructures in-landslide areas. Cl Monitor the deflection and deformation of retaining walls. Monitor convergence and other movements in tunnels. ~ G Provide early waming of threatening deformations. allowing ime for corrective action (0 be taken or. if necessary. for safe evacu- ation of the area. G Provide an accurate record of movement in the structure for legal purposes.

Beam Sensors and Tiltmeters d Tiitmeter To obtain tilt readings. the operator connects the tiltmeter to the (continued) readout unit and positions the tiltmeter on the tilt plate. with the (+) marking on the sensor base plate aligned with peg 1. The operator then notes the displayed reading. rotates the tiltmeter 180°. and ob- tains a second reading. Later. the wo readings are averaged (0 can- cel sensor offser. Changes in tilt are found by comparing the current reading to the in- itial reading. A positive value indicates tilt in the direction of peg | (peg I down. peg 3 up). A negative value indicates tlt in the direc- tion of peg 3. The metric tltmeter and indicator deliver a resolution of 8 arc sec- onds or 0.004 mm of movement over the 101 mm base of the tilt plate. The English tilometer and indicator deliver a resolution of 10 are seconds or 200 micro-inches of movement. \ reste, | | > z | | | 6 ae | | | | ' | | _— wee] | | ‘Oriencation for Vertica! Mounting © Only one tiltmeter is required for many tilt plates. Tilt plates can be glued or bolted to convenient surfaces of the structure. Tikt measurements are focal to the tilt plate. Extrapolating tile in larger portions of the structure or interpolating rotation between a number of survey points involves assumptions about the rigidity and behavior of the structure. © Tilt plates must be protected from accidental damage and vandalism. 1 Remote reading is not available ‘Slope Tadicator Company, July 1994 ei(7) Seam Sensors and Tiltmeters Tiltmeter The tiltmeter system includes a number of tilt plates. the portable ciltmeter. and a readout unit The portable tiltmeter uses a force-balanced servo-accelerometer to meusure inclination, The accelerometer is housed in a cugged frame with precisely machined surfaces that facilitate accurate positioning, on the ilt plate.

Installation of Crack Monitor 1. Inspect the affected wall visually for any prominent cracks. 2. Wire brush concrete/masonry surface to remove debris. 3. Attach the monitot perpendicularly to the observed crack by applying quick setting epoxy on the back of both monitor plates 4. Allow epoxy to dry and ensure crack monitor is firmly attached to wall. 5. Cut and remove the cellophane tape from the front of the monitor. B. Monitoring Procedure 1, Observe from the grid on the monitor, the horizontal and vertical movements of the crack. * 2. Record the readings and compare readings with the initial readings.A9 UL UL 44292 Fak 09 vans 90H PREDURELE BAGH wuascos: a Crack Monitor Crack Monitor Progress SheetSETTLEMENT POINT MARKER PRESSCRETEa UL L499 FAL 09 d4p1900 PRESSURE LE ENGKG lonz ors METHOD STATEMENT et ent Poi farker A.
