News - Strain Measurement Wires for Monitoring Asphalt Pavement Layers | FBGS - Draw Tower Gratings
The Energy & Materials in Infrastructure & Buildings (EMIB) department of the University of Antwerp carried out a study on the use of ruggedized FBG sensors for asphalt monitoring. FBGS´ Strain Measurement Wires (“SMW” product line) were installed both in prefabricated asphalt specimens at the bottom of the base layer as well as in the surface of the previously constructed asphalt layer. The installation of the FBG monitoring system was part of the Cycle Pavement Technologies “CyPaTs“ project - https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/research-groups/emib/projects-publications/road-engineering/cypats/
