FMGM 2007. Proceedings of the seventh international symposium on field measurements in geomechanics / Материалы седьмого международного симпозиума по полевым измерениям в геомеханике

Measurements of field performance during and after construction of constructed facilities has taken on more importance as structures become more complex and sensitive to deformations, the costs of surprise performance grow rapidly, owners seek to more actively manage risks to their projects, and the public demands diminished impacts from construction activities. Major developments in measurement technologies are providing more ways to monitor performance with near real-time frequency for decreasing cost. It is therefore beneficial to give those interested in instrumentation and performance monitoring an opportunity to meet regularly to exchange ideas and experiences to stimulate further advancement within field instrumentation. The international symposia for Field Measurements in GeoMechanics, FMGM as an acronym, are organized to serve this purpose. <...>
