Talk: Structural Health Monitoring of High-Rise Buildings: Technology Updates for 2018
Given at the Thai Concrete Association, September 2018 (in Thai)
Pile integrity test
At a newly constructed school in Phuket, which consists of two building blocks, it was suspected that the strength of both the 1stfloor and the 2ndfloor precast slabs was not sufficient as it may have been shown in the design. Thus, a load test was requested to determine whether the structure was safe given the […]
Precast slab load test
RE Team performed the Precast Slab Load Testing to monitor the structural condition of a school in Phuket.
Air void location detection Test
RE conducted the Air Void Detection Test to locate the air void inside RC beams at a factory.
Structural Health Monitoring
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is widely applied to various types of infrastructures including high-rise buildings, bridges and tunnels. It is used to detect damage in the structure, determine damage locations, identify types of damage and assess the severity of damage.
Load Carrying Capacity Analysis
The Load Carrying cCapacity Analysis is used to determine the capacity of the analyzed members or structures to determine whether the tested structures can carry the given load condition or how much load they can withstand. This analysis is necessary when the design details are missing or when there is uncertainty in the design or construction.
Building vibration due to road traffic
RE investigated real-time floor acceleration in a 5-story building which was displaying vibration and shaking due to road traffic.
Structural Vibrations & Dynamics
floor vibration, building vibration caused by machines operations, induced traffic.
Corrosion Test
Half-cell potential test, Chloride test is laboratory test
Settlement Survey
Settlement Survey 1 2 3 4 5 6 The settlement survey is used to inspect structures that show structural settlement using a total station (TS) to inspect both vertical structures and horizontal structures. The settlement survey can be used to determine the slope of the settlement and whether such damage will affect the structure. Sloping […]
