description: The monitoring of subsurface ground movement is important for the prevention and control of geological disaster including land subsidence, ground fissure, surface collapse, and landslides. Inclinometer and extensometer are examples of the conventional geotechnical instruments for monitoring the subsurface ground movement. However, most conventional geotechnical instruments for subsurface monitoring are limited to discrete sensing, high cost, and susceptible to various reading errors. This paper presents the advancement of technology mechanism to monitor horizontal ground movements as well as the data processing technique involved. Distributed optical fibre inclinometer is developed through laboratory pipe bending tests whereas the data is corroborated with conventional instruments. This system was installed on site, measuring the performance of the sensors as well as to monitor the associated ground movements. A simple cost comparative study between fibre optic inclinometer and conventional geotechnical instrumentation indicates the new technology is cost-effective for applications in ground monitoring particularly when monitoring a large number of borehole points and measurement arrays. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
