The schematic diagram of the plate jacking set-up is shown in Fig. 10.7 along with a
typical illustration of installation of anchors and extensometers inside the drill hole. It
comprises hydraulic hand pumps, hydraulic jacks, flat jacks, multiple point borehole
extensomelers with anchors and the measuring system with displacement transducers
and a 12-channel digital readout unit with an accuracy of 0.001 mm. The capacity of the
system is 7 Ml’a uniaxial pressure.
