The
pressure on the large area concrete of the large structures in the complex
design building like the force retaining wall or dam is very huge. But because
it’s the brittle material, the allowable strain is very small.
General
Earthquake frequency are 0.5 to 10 Hz and it makes the towering structure swing
big and have the chance of resonance incident. The natural frequency of the
structure is easy to produce a resonance with the vibration frequency and thus
amplify the energy.
The
structure of the military airport hangar and runway shall be destroyed heavily
once attacked by the high–energy high-frequency vibration of the bomb
explosions.
For
all the above situations, we must have more detailed understanding and monitoring.
And they’re all suitable to be worked with the strain / stress measuring and
monitoring systems to prevent from any disaster happening!

Examples
of the applications:
1 The structural stress / strain
monitoring on the civil engineering
facilities like cranes and loading
elevator.
2 The stress / strain test on foundation piles of the reaction wall.
3 The stress / strain measurement in the foundation pile
mounting.
4 The stress / strain measurement on the reinforced concrete
structure.
5 The stress / strain measurement on the reinforced steel bars.
6 The strain monitoring on the dam body.
7 The split Hopkinson
bar tester.
