Vertical and horizontal distributed strain measurements within a road surface
This experimental project involved a new type of road with a foam-concrete substructure. EpsilonRebars were used to monitor structural response on mechanical load tests. Thanks to the appropriate installation methods, it was possible to provide measurements not only along the horizontal sections but also along with the vertical ones. It’s worth noting that there was no reinforcement facilitating the installation within the entire structure.

Project challenges
Benefits of using the DFOS monitoring system
Results of using the DFOS monitoring system
EpsilonRebars, as a part DFOS-based nervous system, allowed for detailed analysis of the deformation state of the new type of road caused by the mechanical loads (truck). Sensors were successfully installed despite difficult conditions within the construction site. Strain measurements within the horizontal and vertical sections, including the short-term slippage, were performed with high-spatial resolution.
