Concrete stress monitoring

Concrete stress monitoring

Concrete stress monitoring

(OP)
I have a situation where a multi-cell concrete culvert is showing signs of over-stress in an exterior wall.  Our analysis shows dead load alone causes overstress, thus a negative load rating.  I would like to set up a monitoring program to collect displacement data at critical locations.  Has anyone seen similar programs?

RE: Concrete stress monitoring

See my response in the foundation/geotech forum that you posted.

RE: Concrete stress monitoring

Try the "Avongard Wall Crack Monitors". They are specific for checking wall movements. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

RE: Concrete stress monitoring

I like and use Avongards.  But I don't think they are appropriate for this circumstance.  Extensometers are more appropriate in this case, IMHO -



Please see FAQ731-376 for great suggestions on how to make the best use of Eng-Tips Fora.
