SSP set

Implement MEMS Accelerometers

for slope stability monitoring

Po Shan Road Landslide, Hong Kong 1972

Commercial MEMS - Analog Devices ADXL Used in the project:

ADXL335

ADXL345

This project demonstrates MEMS

performance through:

Real-time field monitoring site

Laboratory flume test of landslide event

Description

 ADXL345 MEMS accelerometer is packaged in a sensing

module named 1st Generation Field Smart Soil Particle (SSP) -

800 Hz sampling rate

 3 units of SSP were installed in Lu Shan, Taiwan and currently

available for real-time monitoring.

 Data are transferred from Taiwan to database in Hong Kong

through 3G mobile service.

Results of the Field Monitoring

 Several events affecting slope movement occurred within this

period of study – there has been no failure.

 Data shown reflects the real occurrence of the earthquakes

(dated 16/07/2013).

 Earthquakes subject slopes to horizontal and vertical

accelerations that result in cyclic fluctuations in stresses within the slope, potentially causing landslide to occur.

 Note that both of the graphs are not plotted in the same

coordinate system and they are located differently.

 MEMS noise is larger.

 The most important point of this result is that MEMS captured

the short-lived earthquakes, thus could be reliably used to monitor the slope.

Real-time monitoring is crucial

expensive and inflexible

Sequence of the Flume Test

 After all the preparation, the soil sample is saturated via

the saturation (white) box. Physically we can see the sample consolidating (see M5 data).

 Total 2 L/min water is pumped into the flume.

 Question: How do the MEMS sensors perform in reflecting

the physical events?

 M2 sensor is used in the discussion below.

Results and Discussions (see Figure below)

 At 1330 seconds onwards (MEMS time, Part 1), the slope

is more or less in static equilibrium. Correspondingly, the

M2 the resultant plot is almost 1 g.

 Sudden failure occurred at 1500 seconds. The data of all

three axes showed sudden jumps in the reading,

corresponding to the sudden mass movement. Again, the MEMS data reflected the physical phenomena happening during the experiment.

 The slope then started to move very slowly as shown in

Part 2. This is reflected in the decreasing trend in all axes.

 Slightly after 1730 seconds, the slope failed once again.

 It was not until 1800 seconds that M2 started to be washed

away by the landslide. (see the JVC Top pictures)

 The data recorded during this time (Part 3) shows more

dynamic movements through the fluctuations. This clearly reflects the physical phenomena of the washing of M2 by the landslide.

 As M2 was deposited at its final destination, the resultant

data was close to 1 g, indicating once again static

equilibrium.

The laboratory flume test has shown how reliable the

data from MEMS are. They reflect the physical events.

Set-up of the flume laboratory test.

The flume is inclined at 30⁰. Water will be supplied from the bottom of the flume to imitate groundwater inflow. Two cameras capture the video of the whole

experiment. Picture and plot of M5 MEMS sensor during consolidation Set-up of the MEMS

CONCLUSIONS

 The field monitoring has shown real movement that potentially

destabilizes slope can be captured by MEMS accelerometers even for a short period of time.

 The laboratory flume tests show how each phenomenon that

happened physically can be captured and interpreted back.

 Therefore, MEMS accelerometers are reliable in capturing

real-time physical movements, and able to improve landslide early warning system.

IMPACTS

With this monitoring system, coupled with early warning systems, human lives in landslide-prone areas can be better protected against landslide hazards. Due to its flexibility, this technology can also be applied to:

 Other natural disaster prevention like tsunami and volcanic

activities monitoring,

 Structural health monitoring system, and

 Field monitoring of geotechnical construction work such as deep

excavation and tunnelling.
