Remote Monitoring of Ground Vibration During Tunnel Excavation by Mobil Communications

Abstract

Excavating urban tunnel cause serious public nuisances such as environmental vibration and noise to the residents above the tunnel face. Therefore, it is important to monitor the discharged level of vibration or noise continuously. In this study, the Authors developed the remote monitoring system, which consists of mobile communication devices and sensor technologies for monitoring surface vibration over the excavating tunnel face. This paper describes outline of the remote monitoring system and its installation to the construction site.
