Abstract
The geotechnical monitoring of the slope deformations is widespread at present time. In many geological localities and civil engineering construction areas, monitoring is a unique tool for controlling of negative factors and processes, also inform us about actual state of rock environment or interacting structures. It is necessary for risk assessment. In our case, geotechnical monitoring is controlling rockslide activity around in the future part of motorway. The construction of new highway route D1 from Bratislava to Košice crosses the territory which is affected by a massive rockslide close to Kraľovany village. There was a need to monitor the activity of a large unstable rockslide with deep shear planes. In this case of underground movement activity, the Department of Geotechnics of the University of Žilina installed inclinometers at the unstable area which worked on Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) principle. Based on provided measurements, effectivity and suitability of TDR inclinometers for monitoring of deep underground movement activity is demonstrated.Keywords
