Soil and rock monitoring programs that use inclinometer probes often run for several years. Normal wear and tear can degrade the probe’s ability to produce useful surveys, though this degradation can happen incrementally and may go unnoticed for some time. A new standard developed by ASTM International Committee D18 on Soil and Rock, D 7299 , Practice for Verifying Performance of a Vertical…
