Monitoring

Exceeding the tensile strength of the materials (masonry, reinforced concrete …) causes the formation of lesions which may also have structural relevance.

PROBLEMS: cracks, detachments, infiltrations, sagging

MONITORING TECHNIQUES:
deformometry, optical microscopy, LVDT

By installing LVDT technology displacement sensor sensors, it is possible to carry out the evolution of relative displacements with the precision of the thousandth of a millimeter.

PROBLEMS: sagging and active injuries

MONITORING TECHNIQUES: acquisition unit, data transmission and LVDT displacement sensors

Uncompensated forces, land pressures and foundation failures can generate rigid rotational movements of structures and artefacts

PROBLEMS: rotations of structures or parts of members

MONITORING TECHNIQUES: digital tiltmeters

Moving organs, natural or anthropic dynamic actions can generate vibrations inside the structures.

PROBLEMS: vibrations transients

MONITORING TECHNIQUES:  triaxial accelerometers and data acquisition units

In the case of new buildings, tests on existing structures or structural changes it is sometimes essential to follow the evolution of the stress state

PROBLEMS: control of tensional conditions, structural failures, excessive deformations

MONITORING TECHNIQUES: LVDT, FBG , FABRY PEROT
