A new approach for evaluation of in situ inclinometer measurements based on two cases in Turkey

The studies presented in this paper were carried out in two different regions. They are TKI-GLI-BLI Orhaneli lignite open pit mine region and Konya-Cumra agricultural basin, respectively. In Orhaneli mine site, to monitor deformations in 9 boreholes, inclinometer measurements were made approximately 14 times for 215 days. Similarly, in Cumra agricultural basin, using 11 boreholes established in site, these measurements were made 7 times for 784 days. In the evaluation of the measurement results, the presences of certain problems have been identified. To utilize in the evaluation studies of the inclinometer measurement results, a new approach was developed. The approach used in the project studies was presented in this paper.
