Bridge Crush! In Infrastructure Sensing and Modeling Course
Sep 27, 2021
Students are having fun (and also learning) during the CE170A Infrastructure Sensing and Modeling class, taught by Professor Kenichi Soga, Professor Dimitrios Zekkos, Professor Robert Kayen, Dr. Bingyu Zhao, and Renjie Wu as GSI. As a part of the course module, three aluminum model bridges are designed, built, and tested where various sensing technologies are applied during the test: Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) for displacement measurement, Wireless Tilt Meters for tilting angle measuring, and Fiber Optics Sensors for continuous strain measurements.
