Abstract
Geotechnical instruments are installed at the planned locations, depths and places depending upon the types of instrument. Some instruments are installed on the surface and/or on the existing ground levels, whereas some are installed in the boreholes in order to monitor the behaviour of soil elements at particular depths for specific types of soil. Others are installed on the structural elements such as foundations, retaining walls and support element such as piles, anchors and struts.
