Estudo de viabilidade: desenvolvimento inclinômetro in-place de custo reduzido

Abstract

Although recognized by the geotechnical area, the In-Place Inclinometer is still not widely used in Brazil due to the shortage of local companies that produce this type of product and the high cost of importing and maintaining the imported equipment. This study seeks to propose an accessible model of In-Place Inclinometer capable of measuring parameters compatible with market requirements. To this end, the study examines the possibility of developing the measuring instrument through technologies that can be easily acquired or implemented, such as the use of common accelerometers (MPU-6050), long distance communication, graphical interface made available by Adafruit Industries and materials that allow the protection of the system. In addition, some methods of data improvement and processing are discussed, such as equipment calibration and the implementation of filters to obtain more reliable measurements. As a result, the study provides tables and graphics comparing the data collected from the proposed model and the data from products already marketed.
