METHOD FOR EXAMINING STRUCTURE BASE FOR RELIABILITY Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: civil engineering. SUBSTANCE: method for examining structure base for reliability includes placing sensors in the base to determine stress-strain state and comparing it with reference algorithm of base reliability. The sensors are placed in wells pre-bored over base net. The sensors installed on elastic member are used, then they are placed in the wells. The wells are filled with a material with the same strain module as that of the surrounding ground. Well net pitch is determined under a formula depending on ground properties, parameters of the elastic member, sensor sensitivity. EFFECT: high accuracy. 2 dwg
