Monitoring cracks in the foundation slab of a Warsaw skyscraper
Nowadays, spectacular skyscrapers are built in the centres of large cities. This project refers to a structure located in the centre of Warsaw. Due to the proximity of the surrounding infrastructure, it is very important to monitor the interaction of the foundations with the ground during the entire construction (building the subsequent floors). That is why EpsilonRebars were chosen to control strains and cracks both in deep barrette piles as well as the foundation slab.

Results of using the DFOS monitoring system
EpsilonRebars were used to measure strains and detect cracks during selected construction stages. Seven sensors were installed in both the lower and upper part of the foundation slab, while ten sensors were placed along the barrette piles to a depth of 22 m. Obtained results allowed for analysis of force transfer along deep piles as well as to detect all cracks in concrete foundation slab.
