Advanced Structural Engineering Lab

Welcome to the forefront of structural engineering research at the esteemed Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi! Our Advanced Structural Engineering Lab is a hub of innovative research where we push the boundaries of structural engineering to develop solutions for complex engineering challenges.

As you enter our advanced facility, you will be immersed in a world of advanced testing and analysis equipment. From structural dynamics and earthquake engineering to structural health monitoring and performance evaluation, our lab offers a wide range of research capabilities that delve into the intricacies of structural behavior.

In our Structural Dynamics Lab, we study the dynamic behavior of structures under various loads and excitations. Through advanced experimental and numerical techniques, we investigate the response of structures to dynamic forces, such as earthquakes, wind, and vibrations, to understand their behavior and optimize their design for performance and safety.

Equipment

Shake Table

A shake table simulates the ground motions that take place during an earthquake. They’re used to test structural models, scaled slopes, or building components, typically to the point of failure.

Shake tables have a range of seismic waves and scenarios that test against the structure's integrity, which in turn helps structural engineers like the ones at HH Consulting build stronger, safer structures.

 

Three Channel Analog Input Sensor with 14 pin connectors

Three Channel Analog Input Sensor with 14 pin connectors WSDA-2000 wireless sensor analog The WSDA®-2000 is a network-ready gateway for reliable data acquisition from Parker wireless and inertial sensors. The WSDA-2000 features Ethernet, USB 2.0, and J1939 CAN interfaces, as well as 4GB of on-board memory for datalogging. Ethernet connectivity means access to your wireless sensor network from anywhere in the world. This gateway automatically pushes data to Sensor Cloud, where data is securely stored, viewed, and may have analytics operations or alerts set up. The WSDA-2000 also allows a remote connection so the owner can control their sensor network as if they are on-site.

Dewesoft KRYPTON

KRYPTON data acquisition modules are designed to be small, rugged, and modular especially made perfect for field measurements in any environment. The small size of KRYPTON modules allows them to fit perfectly in tight places and can be placed very near the sensors.

Traditional data acquisition systems are big boxes with many input channels, which means long and expensive sensor cabling is needed in order to perform data acquisition.
