Project Preview<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A high rise building’s load bearing concrete beam, which is suspended over a top floor terrace, was slowly deflecting over time. A fix was created to hold the deflecting beam.  The fix is steel beams placed above the beam as a retrofit on the concrete beam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resensys Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To evaluate and monitor the initial settling\/deflection and to confirm effectiveness of retrofit beam (after creating fix), a Resensys structural health monitoring system was deployed on the structure. It consists high precision Tilt SenSpot<\/a> (inclinometer) sensors. Furthermore, SeniMax<\/a>\u00a0data logger with remote communication gateways were installed to collect data from SenSpot\u00a0gauges and send them to main server and SenScope<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system has been placed for long term monitoring for indefinite future, proving the effectiveness of the retrofit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monitoring Purposes and Methods:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Measuring settling\/deflection of the concrete beam after retrofitting. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Detect any sudden significant deflection of the retrofitting beam by alert systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Calculating dependence of incline values on temperature (temperature response rate). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
