Smart Structures

Smart structures can include critical bulkheads, dams, foundations and bridges amongst many others.

• Seismic and ultrasonic sensors can be embedded in structures to monitor the acoustic response of the structure during environmental loads and as a warning of critical fracture patterns.
• Results can be integrated with numerical models to provide an interpretation of damage parameters during failure testing.
• Sensors can be embedded within the volume of a critical concrete structure prior to pouring and thus monitor the entire history of the structure.
• Ultrasonic surveys can monitor the concrete curing process, identify fracture growth and assess the success of any remedial repairs.
