In this demo we put together the different advancements we have made in the integration of Augmented Reality (AR) solutions for structural engineering combined with top-notch monitoring based on Distributed Optic Fiber Sensors and top-leading post-processing algorithms for real-time analysis and visualisation. The test was carried out in the context of a project funded by SBUF that consisted in a comparison of the new proposals for the used of FRC introduced in the Eurocodes aiming a more sustainable structural solutions. The test was held in the context of the SBUF council visit to Chalmers University and a seminar within our centre 

 that strives for the promotion of our beloved profession. In the demo an 8.5 meters Postensioned Fiber Reinforced beam was tested to failure under a four-point bending configuration, which benefits of a constant moment central region within loading points. During the test cyclic loads where introduced and the behaviour of the beam was shown through our AR app, framework that offers the possibility of real-time tracking and visualisation of crack onset and development, deflection and strain distribution along the element: 

More than 30 attendees could enjoy a singular and challenging test in our leading structural lab at Chalmers University of Technology that enforced us to the limit to coordinate all parts together, seamlessly working. Check our 

 sections for more info :). Thank you all for coming!

Who says that structures are not alive?

In Luleå they say that best ideas grow below zero, in SensIT we say that the best ones does it among rice, and the best rice (with full respect to Valencia) is always at Rasmus' yard; unfortunately the season is over and we will need to wait some darkness and snow before we can open the new one.
