Foundation Testing TRIZ Cases

Location-based compaction mapping and path updates help a soil compactor avoid overpasses, undercompaction, and soil structure damage.

Embedded depth and motion sensors track foundation movement to flag crack formation early and support timely repair and risk assessment.

Sensors track foundation position changes over time to detect crack formation early and trigger alerts before structural damage worsens.

Real-time compaction measurement and as-built mapping guide soil compactor travel paths to verify coverage and avoid excessive soil compaction.

Embedded pressure sensing through the foundation enables continuous ASD verification and alerts when sub-slab pressure drops.

A laser distance meter corrects GPS offset to keep excavation tool positioning accurate despite mast play, adjustments, and tool changes.

Surface-mount toggle earth anchors and a portable tension tester support real-time soil and code checks, reducing site preparation for solar structures.

Pressurized removable tubing expands during concrete curing, then extracts to leave vertical tunnels for foundation integrity testing.

A calculated enhancement coefficient guides slurry injection, forming a frozen seal that improves heat transfer and protects permafrost.

A MEMS sensor, solar panel, and battery enable simple wireless foundation monitoring without continuous power or complex installation.

A UAV captures site images for 3D pile head detection, reducing manual measurement time and limiting excessive point cloud data.

Sensor tubes in foundation raceways combine temperature and pressure readings to derive elevation and detect movement early.

Hydraulic oil stretches a U-shaped sealing plate to apply uniform load, preventing weld damage in pile testing.

Hydraulic jack system replaces heavy kentledge to reduce workspace and safety risks during pile load testing.

A hydraulic load cell expands a borehole void to apply fluid pressure against shaft walls.

Incremental horizontal pressure from top to bottom mimics underground stress, improving accuracy of pile-soil friction measurements.

A pile-side lateral static load device uses a modular jack cart to enable flexible testing across varying pile diameters.

Embed strain sensors in pipe piles to measure inner and outer sidewall friction resistance, differentiating bearing capacity components.

Annular ring load cell measures pile capacity without damaging the shaft, eliminating the need to abandon tested foundations.

Integrated lightbulb sensors detect foundation tilt and emit visual alerts when structural displacement exceeds safety thresholds.

Optical fiber vibration string with polyhedral mass blocks measures natural frequency shifts to determine riverbed scouring depth.

A building element uses replaceable screw foundations inserted through base openings to establish ground connections.

A vibrator device applies measuring pulses to installed piles, generating movement data for capacity evaluation.
