FORCE MEASUREMENT APPARATUS FOR PILE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18306999 titled 'FORCE MEASUREMENT APPARATUS FOR PILE
The force measurement apparatus described in the patent application is designed to be installed on a pile and includes a pressing ring and multiple force sensors. The pressing ring consists of a ring body with at least one pressing part, where the pressing part is located at one end of the ring body. The force sensors are positioned between the inner surface of the ring body and the pile to detect radial deformation and eccentricity of the pile.
- The apparatus includes a pressing ring with a ring body and pressing part.
- Multiple force sensors are integrated to measure radial deformation and eccentricity of the pile.
- The pressing ring is designed to be installed on a pile for accurate force measurement.
Potential Applications: - Construction industry for monitoring and optimizing pile driving operations. - Geotechnical engineering for assessing the stability and load-bearing capacity of piles. - Research and development for studying soil-structure interaction in foundation systems.
Problems Solved: - Accurate measurement of forces exerted on piles during installation. - Detection of radial deformation and eccentricity in piles. - Improved understanding of pile behavior under different loading conditions.
Benefits: - Enhanced safety and efficiency in pile driving operations. - Real-time monitoring of pile performance for better decision-making. - Cost-effective solution for assessing pile integrity and load capacity.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Force Measurement Apparatus for Pile Installation" This technology can be utilized in construction projects, civil engineering applications, and research institutions. It has the potential to revolutionize the way pile driving operations are conducted, leading to safer and more reliable foundation systems.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the force measurement apparatus improve the accuracy of pile driving operations? 2. What are the key advantages of using force sensors to monitor pile behavior during installation?
Original Abstract Submitted
A force measurement apparatus adapted to be installed on a pile includes at least one pressing ring and a plurality of force sensors. The pressing ring includes a ring body and at least one pressing part. The ring body has at least one end and an inner surface facing the pile. The pressing part is disposed at the end. The force sensor is disposed between the inner surface of the ring body and the pile so as to sense a radial deformation and the degree of eccentricity of the pile.
