Monitoring & Services ROBO®SMART Monitoring – making bridge components intelligent ROBO®SMART for Expansion Joints ensuring safety and reducing life-cycle costs

Monitoring & Services Integrated smart system for expansion joints Introduction Bridge expansion joints compensate the deformations of a bridge relative to the ends of the bridge. They ensure the continuity of the carriageway (serviceability) whilst avoiding restraint loads. Their life expectancy depends on traffic loading, accumulated movements, climatic conditions, and above all the type of expansion joint and the quality of its design, fabrication and installation. The use of a ROBO®SMART monitoring system can enable the life-cycle cost of an expansion joint to be optimised. Using such a system,...
