Laboratory Assessment of an In-Place Inclinometer Chain for Structural and Geotechnical Monitoring

Read the full article here: https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/23/20/8379 In-Place-Inclinometers (IPI) are traditional continuous monitoring instruments in inclinometer tubes; in particular, Sisgeo’s “BH-Profile” (BH-Profile in-place Inclinometers – Sisgeo) are used successfully in many applications around the world. The gained experience highlighted the need for a versatile instrument that could be housed in small tubes without the use of special […]

¿Qué es la supervisión de la salud estructural de los edificios?

this picture shows a typical panorama of many cities: the new centre with skyscrapers and around it the older buildings of the city centre.It is important to monitor the structural health of both parts of cities. SHM applied to geotechnical problems and structural safety becomes a fundamental part of ensuring the safety of structures, both during construction and during the natural life of the structures.

La monitorización de la salud estructural de los edificios (SHM) garantiza la seguridad, estabilidad y longevidad de los edificios. Este proceso utiliza tecnologías avanzadas para hacer un seguimiento continuo de la integridad estructural de un edificio. Proporciona información casi en tiempo real sobre el rendimiento en diversas condiciones. A medida que crece la urbanización y […]

Importancia de la SHM en la rehabilitación de presas

This image represents "Cerro del Aguila" a concrete dam. It's used to represent Sisgeo's Concrete Dam Structural Health Monitoring

Nunca se insistirá lo suficiente en la importancia de la SHM en la rehabilitación de presas. La supervisión de la salud estructural (SHM) desempeña un papel fundamental para garantizar la seguridad, eficiencia y longevidad de las presas. A medida que muchas presas envejecidas de todo el mundo se enfrentan a retos como la degradación estructural, […]

Control de la salud estructural en la excavación de túneles

Structural Health Monitoring in tunnel excavation

La supervisión de la salud estructural (SHM) es un aspecto crítico para garantizar la seguridad y el rendimiento durante los proyectos de excavación de túneles. Los túneles están sometidos a fuerzas y condiciones ambientales complejas que pueden provocar tensiones estructurales, deformaciones y otros riesgos. La SHM proporciona datos casi en tiempo real sobre el comportamiento […]

La importancia de la supervisión de la salud estructural (SHM)

The picture shows a bridge in urban area, a good exmple where SHM structural health monitoring shall be implemented. SHM is becoming increasingly important in the management of critical infrastructure and assets, especially in aging structures or those subjected to harsh environmental conditions. It provides a cost-effective and proactive approach to ensure the safety, reliability, and longevity of structures while minimizing downtime and repair costs.

¿Qué es la supervisión de la salud estructural (SHM)? La supervisión de la salud estructural (SHM) es un proceso de observación y análisis continuos del estado de una estructura para garantizar su seguridad y rendimiento a largo plazo. Mediante el uso de sensores avanzados y tecnologías de monitorización, SHM detecta cambios o degradación en las […]

BRAIN tutorial

This video shows how simple and intuitive is to use the new BRAIN inclinometer system. The system, composed by the BRAIN APP, bluetooth cable reel and MEMS inclinometer probe, is completed with the accessories (dummy/test probe and pulley cable stop). The technician in the video simply described the basic operations for an inclinometer survey. Detailed […]

Rome Metro C project – Historical heritages monitoring

Along its route, Line C interacts with historical heritages that are unique in the world and protected by UNESCO. Thousands of Sisgeo instruments are installed along Metro C line to protect civil structures, buildings and monuments. With this video, Sisgeo would like to focus the attention to the monitoring of Rome most famous historical buildings: […]

Tunnel monitoring – chapter 5 – Buildings above tunnel excavation

In this set of video (Tunnel monitoring) we would like to present some monitoring solutions that could be used during tunnel excavation. The chapter 5 is dedicated to the monitoring solutions for the buildings above excavation zone and will close the set of video with simple description of data acquisition systems and WMS web monitoring […]

Tunnel monitoring – chapter 4 – Underground stations

In this set of video (Tunnel monitoring) we would like to present some monitoring solutions that could be used during tunnel excavation. The chapter 4 is dedicated to the underground stations monitoring, usually excavated with the cut and cover method. The instruments proposed are vibrating wire strain gauges and load cells to monitor stress and […]

Tunnel monitoring – chapter 3 – Ground above tunnel excavation

In this set of video (Tunnel monitoring) we would like to present some monitoring solutions that could be used during tunnel excavation. The chapter 3 presents some possible solutions to monitor displacements, settlements and pressures in the zone around the excavation for tunnels with small coverage, typical in metro tunnel excavation. Main applied instruments are […]

Tunnel monitoring – chapter 2 – TBM concrete lining

In this set of video (Tunnel monitoring) we would like to present some monitoring solution and suggestion that could be used during tunnel excavation. The chapter 2 is dedicated to TBM excavation method and concrete line monitoring solution. Main applied instruments are vibrating wire strain gauges embedded into the concrete lining to monitor the stress […]
