7th International Conference on Smart Monitoring, Assessment and Rehabilitation of Civil Structures
07.08.2024

7th International Conference on Smart Monitoring, Assessment and Rehabilitation of Civil Structures, SMAR 2024

Salerno, Italy 4-6 September, is the place to be for Smart Monitoring, Assessment and Rehabilitation of civil structure, co-organised by the Structural Engineering Laboratory of Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, and the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Salerno, Italy.

MS09/1 and 2 (sessions 3G and 4G)are Mini Symposia on Advances in Fiber Optical Sensing Solutions for Infrastructure, Geotechnics and Earth Sciences.

Covering applications in soil stabilisation, landslides, water pipelines, boreholes, subsidence, bridges, tunnels, and rail displacement, presentations highlight the latest advances in monitoring with distributed fiber optic strain sensing.

fibrisTerre is presenting:

“Distributed Fiber Optic Smart Geosynthetics for Geotechnical Applications in Transportation”
Massimo Facchini, Nils Nöther, Léon Neff on

September 5, Session 4-G MS09/2 Advances in Fiber Optical Sensing Solutions for Infrastructure, Geotechnics and Earth Sciences

Abstract

“We present the latest works in the design, development, validation and industrial application of geosynthetic materials equipped with integrated fiber-optic sensing cables for distributed strain and temperature measurements. The integration of fiber-optic sensors into geotextiles and geogrids – as they are commonly used in geotechnical construction for soil stability improvement, erosion protection, draining, filtering and other tasks – provides a feasible integration method for the sensors into the structure under monitoring. The one-dimensional characteristic of a longitudinal fiber-optic strain sensor is thereby transformed into a two-dimensional shape sensing plane, providing distributed, uninterrupted information on deformation, sinkholes, slope movements, settlements and many more geotechnical indications on structural failure.”

Full papers will be collected in the
Conference Proceedings, which are going to be published by Elsevier in a dedicated issue of Procedia Structural Integrity (Online ISSN: 2452 – 3216), an open access journal publishing under a CC – BY – NC – ND license full papers presented in scientific conferences.

We look forward to meeting you in Salerno!

European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
07.08.2024

XVIII European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering - ECSMGE 2024

‘Challenges of Geotechnical Engineering to meet current and emerging society needs’ is the theme of the upcoming conference in Lisbon, Portugal, August 26-30th

We look forward to welcoming you on stand 76 and would love to hear about your project and how you plan to monitor structural deformation, strain or displacement – during construction and in operation.

Distributed fiber optic sensing offers reliable, precise and cost-effective monitoring offering:
  • - continuous, real-time, long-range sensing along the structure
  • - no site access required once installed
  • - no interference with site activities.

Want to know more or share a fiber optic monitoring experience experience? Visit fibrisTerre on stand 76!
Meet us on Monday 26 at the ISSMGE CAPG from 18.00

MOVIE project launch meeting
15.03.2024

fibrisTerre joins MOVIE project, which will provide a virtual laboratory to improve mine safety

Research is in fibrisTerre’s DNA, so it was exciting for Nils Nöther to meet fellow scientists from the University of Clausthal and Freiberg University of Mining and Technology for the inaugural meeting of the MOVIE project team.

MOVIE is part of the Georesearch for Sustainability (GEO:N) program funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (hashtag#BMBF)

A digital twin, in the form of a virtual laboratory, will be developed based on: a real underground laboratory provided by “Reiche Zeche” research and training mine with monitoring data from fibrisTerre Systems’s distributed fiber optic sensing

The virtual laboratory will investigate and support sustainable mining practices and promote efficient and responsible management of underground systems.

fibrisTerre joins Multiclimat project

fibrisTerre is honored to be part of the MULTICLIMACT project.
The project builds on the experience of 23 partners from 10 European countries, leveraging a vast amount of knowledge and expertise to develop a framework and a tool for supporting public stakeholders and citizens to assess the resilience of the built environment.

fibrisTerre’s contribution is based on continuous, real-time monitoring using distributed fiber optic sensing to provide early warning of potential failures in dikes and linear infrastructure assets.

‘Innovative risk assessment and prediction technologies will be tested at four pilot sites in Camerino (Italy), Barcelona (Spain), Riga (Latvia) and Leischendam-Voorburg and Roermond (The Netherlands). Four pilot sites with diverse climatic conditions are therefore susceptible to different types of climate-related environmental disasters.’

fibrisTerre at Geotec, Hanoi, Vietnam 2023

fibrisTerre was represented at 5th International Conference on Geotechnics for Sustainable Infrastructure Development, Hanoi.

TRAN HONG HA, Vietnam’s Deputy Prime Minister, opened the conference saying : “We are poised to craft innovative solutions that will lead to the construction of infrastructures designed for sustainable, long-term existence. These endeavours align seamlessly with our commitment to the green transition.”

His words echo in every geotechnical and construction-related conference.

There followed 200 scientific presentations, of excellent quality, with outstanding keynotes.

Geotechnical modelling and monitoring abstracts occupied the largest section of those received by Geotec, given the interest segments are all interrelated.
