ISO 18674-1:2015规定了地面、与地面相互作用的结构、岩土填料和岩土工程性能监测的一般规则。 具体而言，它适用于进行的现场仪器和测量:与土壤和岩石的现场调查有关，与观测设计程序有关，与施工前、施工中和施工后的岩土结构性能有关，用于地面行为评估，例如不稳定斜坡、固结等。，在施工措施（e。 G.地基荷载、挖掘土层、隧洞），用于证明或跟踪可能受岩土工程施工影响的结构和操作的稳定性、可操作性和安全性、永久性证据、以及岩土工程的评价和控制。

ISO 18674-1:2015 lays out the general rules for the performance monitoring of the ground, of structures interacting with the ground, of geotechnical fills, and of geotechnical works. Specifically, it applies to field instrumentation and measurements carried out: in connection with site investigations of soils and rocks, in connection with Observational Design procedures, in connection with the performance of geotechnical structures before, during, and after construction, for ground behaviour evaluation, e.g. unstable slopes, consolidation etc., for the proof or follow-up of a new equilibrium within the ground, after disturbance of its natural state by construction measures (e.g. foundation loads, excavation of soil, tunnelling), for the proof or follow-up of the stability, serviceability, and safety of structures and operations which might be influenced by geotechnical construction, for perpetuation of evidence, and for the evaluation and control of geotechnical works.
