Comparison between manual and automatic inclinometers. Impact du fonctionnement du barrage hydroélectrique sur la stabilité des pentes. Comparaison entre inclinomètres manuels et automatiques. Ani Xhagolli - Kosho Statkraft/ Albania Thomas Schönborn Statkraft/ Norway ABSTRACT: Inclinometers are widely used for measuring horizontal displacements in ground as well as in structural elements. In particular the observation of natural creeping slopes demands inclinometer measurements of high accuracy. It is therefore essential to assess the reliability of inclinometer measurements in a systematic way. This contribution deals with the examination and determination of accuracy and precision concerning inclinometer measurements. This paper presents one case for understanding and interpreting slope inclinometers, manual and automatic. Inclinometer measurements will be discussed based on the actual impact of a hydropower reservoir on an old and still active landslide. The case is an approx 0.5 km2 large slope in the Albanian mountain range. The slope has a history of slow creeping, requiring re-building of houses every decade.
