NF EN ISO 18674-8, P94-505-8 (09/2023)

This document specifies the measurement of forces using load cells for geotechnical monitoring. General rules for monitoring the performance of terrain, structures interacting with the terrain, embankments and geotechnical works are presented in ISO 18674-1. This document applies to: — monitoring the performance of geotechnical structures such as anchors, rock bolts, tie rods, piles, struts, props and steel supports; — the control of geotechnical calculations and the adjustment of a construction in connection with the observational procedure; — the evaluation of stability during or after construction. This document is not applicable to devices where load is purposely applied to geotechnical structures following geotechnical field testing, such as hydraulic cylinders calibrated for anchor pullout testing or load testing of pious. NOTE 1 This document meets the requirements for monitoring the performance of terrain, structures interacting with the terrain and geotechnical works using load cells implemented in geotechnical studies and tests in accordance with References [2 ] and [3]. NOTE 2 The purpose of ISO 18674-7 is to define the measurement of forces using strain or displacement gauges.
