Luzzone dam raising

Published on March 2 2016

The Luzzone dam was recently raised by 18 m to increase the capacity of the reservoir.

Aim of monitoring:

The new concrete was instrumented with long-gage SOFO sensors to monitor its shrinkage deformations and to evaluate the interaction between the newly added concrete and the old one.

 

Main results:

The sensors survived unharmed the installation in the coarse concrete. Then sensors monitored the deformations over years of operation and showed results compatible with the finite-element simulations.

INSTALLATION PERIOD TYPE OF SENSORS NUMBER OF SENSORS
1997 DiTeSt / DiTemp , SOFO 9
