concrete stress monitoring
 

concrete stress monitoring
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?
check out our whitepaper library.
see my response in the foundation/geotech forum that you posted.
try the "avongard wall crack monitors". they are specific for checking wall movements. hope this helps. good luck.
i like and use avongards. but i don't think they are appropriate for this circumstance. extensometers are more appropriate in this case, imho -
