TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Slope inclinometers for landslides JO - Landslides A1 - Stark, Timothy A1 - Choi, Hangseok SP - 339 EP - 350 VL - 5 IS - 3 N2 - Slope inclinometers/indicators are used to determine the magnitude, rate, direction, depth, and type of landslide movement. This information is usually vitally important for understanding the cause, behavior, and remediation of a landslide. However, many inclinometer measurements fail to achieve these intended aims because of lack of appreciation of the many factors that need to be correctly implemented during installation, monitoring, and data reduction to yield useful data. This paper presents some guidelines for understanding, installing, and interpreting slope inclinometers and presents three case histories that illustrate some of the pitfalls that can develop if these guidelines are not followed.
