contrôle structural actif

OBS: Voir contrôle structural.

CONT: Another use for strain-sensitive concrete might be to detect earthquakes. A technique called active structural control uses sensors to detect the movement of a bridge or a building, and then responds (by moving a counterweight or a hydraulic area, for example) to minimize the effects. The earthquake sensors are either embedded within, or attached to, the structure in question. A building made of smart concrete, however, could act as its own earthquake sensor.
