⚒ Sakariya Mines & Minerals ⚒ Lets talk about How are Deep displacements measured. 1. *Inclinometers:* Think of inclinometers as ""tilt detectors."" They help measure how much the ground or structures lean. Imagine a rod or sensor placed in a hole or on a structure. When things shift, the inclinometer senses the tilt, giving us insights into changes in slope or inclination. 2. *Extensometers:* Picture these as ""stretch trackers."" They're like rulers attached to the ground or structures. As things move or settle, the extensometer notices any change in length. This helps us understand if the soil or structures are undergoing deformation or stretching. #EasyMonitoring #TiltDetection #StretchTrackers #UnderstandingDisplacement #sakariyan #sakariyanmines
