    Monitoring of Beragala Landslide
    (University of Peradeniya, Peradeniya, 1996-08-10) Dissanayake, A. K.; Edirisinghe, A. G. H. J.; Seniviratne, H. N.; Abayakoon, S. B. S.
    Landslips occur in many parts of the world, specially in hilly or mountainous terrain. In Sri Lanka landslides.are a major natural hazard. Out of many active landslides in the island, Beragala earthslip is particularly significant because of the possible disruption of the transportation system in the southern part of the .central highlands. This paper describes the geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring carried out as a part of a major research project to study the behaviour of the Beragala landslide. The landslide is monitored using GPS method, extensometers and precise leveling of embedded markers. It is expected that interpretation of the results of this instrumentation would lead to the identification of the mechanism of the landslide and thereby enable the determination of suitable remedial measures if required.
