Introduction of GNSS slope monitoring system

Slope is a slope with a certain gradient formed naturally or artificially. In the field of geotechnical engineering and engineering geology, the stability and safety of slopes are of great significance in ensuring the stability and safety of structures such as roadbeds, riverbanks and plateaus.

Slopes can be classified according to slope height, cause, material composition and other factors. According to the slope height, the slope can be divided into low slope, high slope and extra high slope; according to the cause, it can be divided into artificial slope and natural slope; according to the material composition, it can be divided into soil slope, rocky slope and binary structure slope.

For high slopes, their stability analyses and protection and reinforcement engineering design require special design calculations to ensure their stability and safety. During the design and construction process, the slopes need to be investigated and analysed in detail, including the influence of factors such as soil quality, rock quality and hydrogeology, as well as the possible risks of landslides, avalanches and other disasters.

A variety of measures can be taken to protect and maintain the slopes, including engineering protection measures (e.g. reinforcement, shoring, etc.) and non-engineering protection measures (e.g. drainage, vegetation restoration, etc.). These measures can effectively prevent and control the deformation and damage of slopes and safeguard the stability and safety of structures.

In the field of geotechnical engineering and engineering geology, the monitoring and management of slopes are of great significance to guarantee the stability and safety of structures. In order to achieve high-precision, high-efficiency and real-time slope monitoring, GNSS slope monitoring system comes into being.

GNSS slope monitoring system is a high-precision slope monitoring technology based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). It uses the high-precision positioning and measurement functions of GNSS technology to achieve real-time monitoring of parameters such as displacement, settlement and deformation of slopes. Compared with traditional mechanical sensors, the GNSS slope monitoring system has higher measurement accuracy and lower error rate, and is capable of realising all-weather, unattended automatic monitoring.
