Inclinometers are generally used for measuring horizontal displacements in the ground as well as in structural elements, especially in inner-city environments displacements are of great interest. In the scope of this work at first the main elements of a mobile measuring method was evaluated. Following that, inclinometer measurements were performed at two construction pits in urban areas with an evaluation of the displacement profile. Subsequently the construction pits were examined with analytical/ numerical computer programs for geotechnical analysis. A detailed description of the input steps was created. Finally a direct comparison between measuring results and calculated displacements was performed.
