STRUCTURAL MONITORING OF INFRASTRUCTURES.

Structural monitoring is intended to control an infrastructure in real time. For this to happen, the physical-mechanical parameters are measured and describe the interaction between the environment and the structure to be studied. In order to prevent catastrophic events, it is possible to evaluate the reliability of materials and verify their behaviour in real time, thanks to monitoring. Today, the needs that have emerged in the engineering field concern the structural monitoring of existing structures; the aim is to periodically verify the structure’s efficiency, and plan maintenance and timely interventions in the event of abnormalities.
In fact, the vulnerability of existing infrastructures has greatly emerged in recent years: ageing and degradation processes cause progressive damage that over time lead to the loss of functionality, up until collapse. It is for these reasons that the need to adopt systems for the continuous monitoring of structures is increasingly highlighted, so as to be able to evaluate their performance over time.

WHY USE MONITORING SYSTEMS

Through the use of structural monitoring systems, it is possible to constantly monitor the status of the structure in order to:

  • avoid irreparable damage or structural collapse;
  • control the progression of disruption phenomena;
  • manage automatic alarm signals in the event alert levels are exceeded;
  • plan prevention and maintenance interventions.

THE DIFFERENT MONITORING METHODS

Depending on the type of structure and the parameters to be monitored, you can choose from various control methods. The monitoring method may be static, dynamic or static dynamic.

ISAAC has developed I-Check a static and dynamic modular monitoring system that significantly reduces the costs of managing the structural monitoring activity, thanks to on-site data processing.
