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 […]
What is Building Structural Health Monitoring?
Building Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) ensures the safety, stability, and longevity of buildings. This process uses advanced technologies to continuously track a building’s structural integrity. It provides nearly real-time insights into performance under various conditions. As urbanization grows and buildings become taller and more complex, effective building health monitoring systems are now standard in modern […]
Importance of SHM in Dam Rehabilitation
The importance of SHM in dam rehabilitation cannot be overstated. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) plays a fundamental role in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and longevity of dams. As many aging dams around the world face challenges such as structural degradation, environmental impacts, and evolving safety standards, SHM provides the data-driven insights necessary to guide effective […]
Structural Health Monitoring in Tunnel Excavation
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a critical aspect of ensuring safety and performance during tunnel excavation projects. Tunnels are subjected to complex forces and environmental conditions that can lead to structural stress, deformation, and other risks. SHM provides nearly real-time data on the structural behavior of tunnels, enabling engineers to make informed decisions and mitigate […]
Concrete Dam Structural Health Monitoring: Ensuring Long-Term Safety
Concrete dam structural health monitoring is a critical process for ensuring the safety, durability, and operational efficiency of dams. These monumental structures are essential for water supply, energy production, flood control, and irrigation. However, due to aging, environmental stressors, and increased usage, continuous dam monitoring is essential to identify potential issues before they escalate into […]
The Importance of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)
What is Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)? Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a process of continuously observing and analyzing a structure’s condition to ensure its safety and long-term performance. Using advanced sensors and monitoring technologies, SHM detects changes or degradation in structures, such as stress, strain, vibrations, temperature variations, and displacement. By analyzing this data, engineers […]
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
