dc.description.abstractSlope monitoring has become mandatory in opencast mines. Despite various slope monitoring systems, Wireless Sensor Network is faster and more efficient. It is essential to test the sensors before installation in the field to assess their effectiveness and suitability for a particular slope condition. The significant factors affecting the slope’s stability are soil moisture and vibration intensity. This study aims to analyze the functions and performance of sensors used in the advanced real-time wireless slope monitoring system. The sensors were validated by comparing the results from the lab experiment with existing methodologies like the Gravimetric method and Geophone method, then installed in a slope model of clay built on a laboratory scale to analyze their performance. The results are drawn and discussed in conclusion. © 2023 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
