LOAD MONITORING FOR SAFE CONSTRUCTION

该项目的总体目标是开发和实施实时 建筑物荷载和挠度监测仪器 建设，以发展一个更好的理解关键 施工荷载条件，并制定安全准则 与多层钢筋混凝土结构相关的施工实践 混凝土结构这项工作的基本假设是（1） 施工失败的主要原因是施工人员的不足， 临时支撑元件，如垂直支撑和横向支撑， (2)在实际施工过程中， 项目可以大大有助于我们理解临界负荷 （3）这是一个很好的理解，也是非常宝贵的。 这些信息可以作为改进施工程序的基础 以及安全设计和施工指南。 除了开发和使用的仪器外， 将收集的新数据，设计形式的有形成果 指导方针将包括（至少）对现行 规范规定的设计荷载，改进的结构建模方法 施工过程中的荷载，考虑垂直和 水平冲击荷载，并建议实时监测方案， 施工作业期间的超负荷和挠度。

The overall goals of this project are to develop and implement real-time load and deflection monitoring instrumentation for buildings during construction, to develop an improved understanding of critical construction loading conditions, and to develop guidelines for safe construction practices specifically associated with multistory reinforced concrete construction. The fundamental hypotheses for this work are (1) that the primary cause of construction failures is inadequacy of the temporary support elements such as vertical shores and lateral bracing, (2) that an investigation of load and deflection histories during actual projects can contribute greatly to our understanding of critical loading conditions, and (3) that this improved understanding and invaluable information can be used as the basis for improved construction procedures and guidelines for safe design and construction. In addition to the instrumentation developed and employed, as well as the new data which will be collected, tangible outcomes in the form of design guidelines will include (at a minimum) suggested modifications to current code-specified design loads, improved methods for modeling structural loads during construction, methods for accounting for vertical and horizontal impact loads, and suggested real-time monitoring schemes for excess load and deflection during construction operations.
