Structural Assessment by Measurements (BRIMOS®)

• Special analyses with BRIMOS® Structural Health Monitoring & Finite Element comparative simulations
• Determination of the real load-bearing capacity and the resilience of supporting structures
• Load-bearing tests and assessment of structures supported by measurements, in particular dynamic measurements (bridges, industrial structures, wind power plants, offshore structures etc.)
• Measurements at wires, stay cables etc. (force determination, vibration damping, assessment of vibration exposure)
• Planning and dimensioning of cable vibration damping measures (vibration dampers, connecting wires)
• Inspection and approval of vibration dampers by measurements
• Measurement and assessment of structural vibrations regarding their impacts on the structure and the users (vibration comfort)
• Planning and dimensioning of vibration absorbers (high-rise buildings, towers, pedestrian bridges)
• Assessment of fatigue problems by measurements
• Structural safety inspection of lamp poles
