Properties
of
some
materials
are
best
measured
in
the
laboratory,
while
others
must
be
field-tested.
In
some
cases,
properties
cannot
be
adequately
defined
by
direct
testing
and
the
result
will
be
designs
that
are
conservative
and
too
costly,
unconservative
and
risky,
or
unconservative
but
based
on
contingency
plans.
To
monitor
ground
conditions
during
construction,
field
instrumentation
is
an
important
element
of
many
studies,
where
sub-
surface
conditions
cannot
be
adequately
defined
by
exploration
and
testing.
Instrumentation
is
used
also
to
obtain
design
data
and
to
monitor
changing
natural
con-
ditions
such
as
slope
failures
and
fault
movements.
