Snow galleries between Björkliden and Riksgränsen
Assessment of capacity and plans for structural health monitoring.
Goal
Evaluate the current loading conditions of the snow galleries and make a real-time measurement of the snow loads, in order to prevent the failure of the structures and the traffic interruptions.
Project status and results
Initial static analysis was done, based on original design plans. Critical sections were identified and limit loading conditions were defined. We have implemented the monitoring system for SG9 and SG13A, for snow loads and temperature variations.
