A Case Study of Observational Method for a Failed Geotechnical Excavation in Singapore
Observational method (OM) was studied based on a case history of failed geotechnical excavation in Singapore. Several items including inclinometer provide vital information about the safety of geotechnical construction sites. An engineer who is specialized in OM, with adequate knowledge of geotechnical engineering as well as instrumentation, should be engaged during the design and construction phase. An ISO standardization is necessary to provide a basic process to implement OM.
