PEBSTER (5×5 m): strains and displacements in piled embankment with a steel mesh
The research was part of the H2020 funded “GEOLAB, Science for enhancing Europe’s Critical Infrastructure”. The second stage of PEBSTER project was focused on load transfer in piled embankments with a steel mesh reinforcement. The deformation of the geotechnical field (5.0 x 5.0 m) was analysed using EpsilonSensors (both bonded to the steel rebars and embedded in the ground) and 3DSensors. Thousands of sensing points allowed a detailed assessmentof axial strains and 3D displacements.
DFOS Sensors Installed: EpsilonSensor and 3DSensor
Project challenges
Benefits of using the DFOS monitoring system
Results of using the DFOS monitoring system
The ground behaviour is determined by the presence of stiff columns, which limit the vertical displacements
