Accelerometers are used to measure the motion and vibration of a structure that is exposed to dynamic loads that originate from a variety of sources.
Measuring and recording how a structure responds to these inputs is critical for assessing the safety and viability of a structure.
Applications
Monitoring the motion and vibration originating from any of these sources
- Working machines - inside a building or in the surrounding area
- Construction work - driving piles, demolition, drilling and excavating
- Moving loads on bridges
- Impact loads - falling debris
- Concussion loads - internal and external explosions
- Collapse of structural elements
- Wind loads and wind gusts
- Air blast pressure
- Loss of support because of ground failure
- Earthquakes and aftershocks
