The existing slope internal deformation sensors are easily influenced by rainwater
mud-rock flows
rolling stones and other environmental factors. The arrangement of equipments is not convenient for the internal deformation monitoring; and the internal deformation monitoring can not be realized by the present technology during middle and late periods of sliding. Based on the magnetic localization theory
the smart rock is fabricated with magnetic label; and smart rock is embedded in the deep part of slope. So the slope internal large deformation monitoring system is established with the combination of smart rock and full tensor magnetic gradiometer. The localization by magnetic gradient tensor contraction is used to track the three dimensional motion of smart rock in order to realize the slope internal large deformation monitoring. With regard to the precision of full tensor magnetic gradiometer and influence of earth magnetic gradient
the effective monitoring distance can reach 35 meters by the analysis of magnetic strength and magnetic gradient. In the experiment
the deformation monitoring accuracy is 0.06 meter
which can be used as reference in the further study and practical engineering monitoring.
