Digital Signal Processing of Geotechnical Data
Publication: Journal of Engineering Mechanics
Volume 112, Issue 1
Abstract
The present‐day electronic technology has made availability of a large volume of monitoring data for large projects a reality. However, such data automatically contain random noise which only when eliminated provide a reliable set of data depicting the site conditions. This paper presents a method, based on digital signal processing principles, to optimize elimination of noise from such data. The method is based on simple applications of digital signal processing techniques. The method of application is explained through an actual case study and concludes with possible application of such methods in geotechnical and structural monitoring.
