ABSTRACT A borehole strain monitor for soft rock consisting of a sensing unit, an installation/retrieval provision and a read- out unit. The sensing unit has a U-shaped yoke and is fitted with a vibrating wire transducer. A magnetically coupled variable frequency oscillator determines the point of resonance for the tensioned wire. The resonant frequency is measured with a frequency counter. The sensing unit is used, typically, in boreholes between two and six inches in diameter. The unit is firmly seated in the borehole by means of a pad at one side and a positively guided wedge at the other to bring the unit in contact with diametrically opposed portions of the borehole wall.
