Abstract	An inclinometer is a high-precision instrument used to detect displacement along sliding zones. From the time the inclinometer pipe is embedded to inclinometer calibration and to measured data collection and processing, many errors or misjudgments can occur that affect the measurement data. The most important objective for correctly using the observation results is the accurate interpretation of the horizontal displacement profiles obtained from the observation. This study combines existing inclusive data accumulated by a monitoring system on a test sloping site in a campus. It focuses on a comprehensive interpretation of the displacement relationships among different monitoring instruments. This study uses data interpretation principles, categorizes different mechanisms, and performs quantitative analysis and discussion in order to determine the significance presented by various types of monitored information in terms of slope sliding. In addition, in this study, stairwells in a campus building are used, an inclinometer is set up, and calibration equipment for the experiment is added in order to simulate various configurations and observe patterns for displacement curves. The examples for the various conditions include empty holes in the backfill around the pipe, connection points falling off, pipe torsion, relative sliding between layers reaching an extreme condition and leading to stuck pipes, multi-layered sliding, and different thicknesses in sliding zones. The experiment illustrates changes in behavior in terms of environmental factors. The results can be used for instrument calibration and measurement, and as a reference for disaster warning and prevention in hazardous areas with slopes.
