Tilt sensors to monitor deflection of the structure and chains of tilt sensors to create a longitudinal settlement profile along the structure. The aim is to measure potential damage to the structure throughout its design life and after events such as earthquakes. Crack sensors to monitor structural defects and cracks. Strain Gauges to monitor stress in beam members.
Optical displacement sensors – distance measurement provides information about the deformation of the targeted structure, and inclination measurement informs the user about the stability of the sensor itself and the reference structure on which it is mounted.
The Crack Sensor Node with potentiometric crack sensors is used to monitor structural movement including pile separation, crack movement, and expansion joint movement. In combination with tilt sensors the potential deflection of the structure is found.
VW interface nodes for surface-mount and sister rod strain gauges and piezometers. Crack sensor nodes and tilt sensors to monitor structural defects.
Tilt sensors on the bridge pier (using girders) to monitor deflection and relative movement. Optical displacement sensors to monitor movement and distance changes between piers and bridge piers.
