Bonjour Pamela,
I have compiled a few electronic references for my Foundation Engineering
class, which you may find useful. In particular, you should check the US
Army Corps of Engineers web site. They present an impressive wealth of
technical information in an electronic format.
You may find the following 5 references useful :
1.) US Army Corps of Engineers (1995), Engineering and Design -
Instrumentation of Embankment Dams and Levees, Engineering Manual,
Publication Number: EM 1110-2-1908 -
http://www.usace.army.mil/inet/usace-docs/eng-manuals/em1110-2-1908/
- Geodetic, GPS and structural deformation aspects are discussed in :
2.) US Army Corps of Engineers (2002), Engineering and Design - Geodetic and
Control Surveying , Engineering Manual,
Publication Number: EM 1110-1-1004
http://www.usace.army.mil/inet/usace-docs/eng-manuals/em1110-1-1004/
- The following regulation present some general guidelines for
instrumentation :
3.) US Army Corps of Engineers (1985),
Engineering and Design - Instrumentation for Safety Evaluations of Civil
Works Projects , Engineering Regulations

- The FDOT Structures Design Office has produced a handbook which includes a
chapter on general geotechnical instrumentation.
4.) FDOT Structures Design Office (2000), "Soils & Foundation Handbook".

- The Civil Engineering Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region Government has also published a Geotechnical Manual for Slopes which
contains a chapter on field instrumentation.
