Data from BIONICS research embankment

The BIONICS embankment, located in Northumberland (UK), is 6 m high, 90 m long and orientated approximately east-west with a 1:2 slope, representative of typical UK infrastructure. The embankment comprises four panels with the central panels constructed to Highways England specifications (termed ‘well-compacted’) and two outermost sections built with reduced compaction to represent poorly constructed/heterogeneous rail embankments.These dataset forms a complete repository of all data collected at BIONICS embankment. The historical hydrological data was recorded from November 2008 to January 2018. And the new data was recorded from August 2021, with ongoing monitoring and recording. Datafiles are provided for both hydrological data and also weather station data. Please see the readme files for each dataset details.

位于英国诺森伯兰郡的BIONICS堤坝，高6米，长90米，大致呈东西走向，斜率约为1:2，是典型的英国基础设施的缩影。该堤坝由四个面板组成，其中中央面板按照高速公路英格兰规范（称为‘密实度高’）进行建造，而两侧最外段则采用降低密实度的建造方式，以模拟构造不良/异质铁路堤坝。本数据集构成了BIONICS堤坝所有收集数据的完整库。历史水文数据记录自2008年11月至2018年1月。新数据自2021年8月起记录，并持续进行监测和记录。提供了水文数据和气象站数据的文件。请参阅每个数据集的readme文件以获取详细信息。
