Case Studies

Taro Viaduct

Static testing and monitoring of a newly constructed structure
Summary
Location: Italy
Project type: Single-cell prestressed concrete (P.C.) box girder with steel webs
Installation period: September 2022

WHY MONITOR?

  • Support during the construction and site phase by comparing design predictions with actual structural response.
  • Instrumentation for static and dynamic testing (load testing) of the structure.
  • Continuous monitoring for preventive and predictive maintenance of new structures.

DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES

  • Supply and installation assistance.
  • Support during the static testing phase of the structure.
  • MODEL-DRIVEN service
  • Non-linear FEM modeling of the structure and model updating following load tests.
  • Identification of damage scenarios to define thresholds of increasing severity in relation to the ultimate safety of the structure.
  • Continuous data processing via algorithms and activation of a 24/7 alerting service.
