WHAT IS A ROCKERY WALL?
Difficult design Not standardized
Construction relies on installers’ skill No reinforcement Can fail due to soil movement behind the
wall

TIME-DOMAIN REFLECTOMETRY (TDR) : HOW IT WORKS
Works like radar Reflectometer transmits short rise-
time pulse Pulse is transmitted along the cable
• Cable has a characteristic velocity of propagation (Vp).
• Vp is known as a percentage of the speed of light.
Pulse if reflected and the travel time determined• Length of the sensor cable can be calculated
![Page 13: LANDSLIDE AND ROCKERY WALL MONITORING SYSTEM FOR ... · PowerPoint Presentation Author: Laura Coiffe Created Date: 8/13/2018 10:09:48 AM ...](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022071214/6041fe2a178b62390b288b88/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
TIME-DOMAIN REFLECTOMETRY
Severity of and distance to reflection is determined
Electrical pulse sent down cable
Pulse reflected at crimps and breaks
Coaxial cable grouted into borehole

CONCLUSIONS
Post-construction monitoring is essentialMonitoring can determine if a problem actually existsWide variety of instrumentation is availableAutomated instrumentation is cost-effective
• Can be reused after stabilization is assured• Relatively inexpensive• Allows real-time data acquisition to spot trends
