Gliwice bridge over Klodnica River

Hello Everyone!

Post about SHM of wonderful Gliwice bridge over Klodnica River 😊.

A first-class infrastructure is an inevitable factor for economic growth. Bridges have a key position in this infrastructure system. Its functional failure or collapse has significant economic and financial consequences. For this reason, it is important to regularly monitor the current bridge condition, and derive estimates of the remaining service life. This ensures a safe and economically sensible use for existing structures. For this purpose, The research is conducted on the real bridge within DTS (Silesian Central Motorway) in Gliwice (Shared object for INFRASTAR project), which is instrumented with various sensors. The location of the bridge is illustrated in Figure below. The sensors were install by NeoStrain in the construction during the erection works.

It is located along the Katowice - Gliwice Route within DTS (Silesian Central Motorway). The purpose is to overcome an obstacle, which is the Kłodnica river with the flooding area. It consists of twelve-span continuous beam made of pre-stressed concrete and total length of the bridge is 552m. In cross-section there are two beams connected with a monolithic plate. There are two steel pot bearings on each support.

The prediction of bridge system credibility in the future is serving on the performance functions of components. So the sensors were embedded in concrete during the construction to measure the changes in the structure. But!!

What is the challenges in real object related to SHM?

Types of measurement system?

Characterization of SHM contribution to sustainability of built environment?

would you like to know more?Wait for next writing!!Till then bye........

See you!!Joyraj

Conference and technical visit at Østerild

I am so glad to share with you the amazing experience of participating in my first conference in this project! Technical system degradation conference - took place in liptovsky mikulas which are the military academy in Slovakia, between 04/04/18 and 07/04/18. The event was quite challenging for me since it was almost fully in polish. Here is my p oster: "I realized this morning that your event content is the only event related 'stuff' I still read. I think that's because it's not about events, but about the coming together of people to exchange ideas and learn from one another and that's valuable information for anyone." — Traci Browne I also learn from some presentations in the different technical system and interesting discussions which push me to think in a different way! The conference is not only about work, it gives us a chance to meet different people. Here are some snaps: I got the opportunity

How can triangulation make your research more reliable!! Hi Again, Effective research is the outcome of communication. Discussing with others is more efficient compare to our lonely struggle with the material. It is really important to talk with others about our work,in addition to spending a good amount of time for reading, writing, and conducting experiments, because this will provide quicker and better solutions to problems that we may encounter. And specially if it's industry people, experts then we can see the practical aspects of our research. The first INFRASTAR implementation day was held at the Federal Highway Research Institute ( BASt ) in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany. The main aim was inviting companies, administrations, local authorities, academic experts, policy makers, research scientists, engineers in order to discuss INFRASTAR research progress of Work Package 1- Monitoring and Asculation . As i am one of the four PhD

A Successful Scientific Night

On Saturday, October 14, The Silesian University of Technology held its 12th edition of Scientific Night - The Art of Science. I participated the art of science and showed some scientific experiment. The NeoStrain families also participated in science night activities. NeoStrain came with a crack measurement scale and snow monitoring system. And we had a demonstration of body weight application by using two strain gauge sensor in the bridge and detecting the speed of the hitting to the board application using the accelerometer . The speed of the hitting on the Board application: We can detect the speed of the ball throwing on some object using basic physic of Accelerometer. Speed or velocity comprises of two things if some objects travel at a known distance in a known amount of time this is known as velocity. So acceleration is how much something increases has velocity over time. We have used HS-100 Accelerometer from Handsford Sensor and it was plugged
