are used to monitor deformation and stress in structural elements such as beams, columns, walls, or foundations. This technique helps engineers evaluate the actual load behavior and performance of materials under real conditions.
How it works
Strain gauges are precise sensors attached to the surface of a structure or embedded within it. They measure micro-deformations caused by stress or load. The data can be read manually or continuously monitored using a data acquisition system.
Strain gauges are strategically installed on critical structural elements.
All sensors are verified for precision and proper connection.
Strains are measured during specific load conditions or continuously over time.
Results are interpreted to evaluate internal forces, safety margins, and material behavior.
Used during construction, testing phases, or long-term monitoring of existing structures.
Critical stress areas
Engineers select key structural elements where monitoring is required.
Accurate placement
Sensors are glued or welded to surfaces or embedded in concrete elements.
Data logging setup
Wires or wireless systems transmit readings to a central unit.
Real stress insight
Data is collected, visualized, and used to verify design assumptions or identify risks.
Benefits
Detects even minimal strain changes in materials and joints.
Enables live monitoring during tests, construction, or operation
Confirms if stress levels remain within designed safety limits.
Works on steel, concrete, composites, and more.
Where it applies
Modern systems can detect strain changes as small as 1 microstrain (με).
Yes — long-term monitoring is possible with durable installation and weatherproofing.
