The dRebar has the potential to predict the risk of catastrophic structural failure. In fact, the dRebar data can enhance many aspects of engineering design. It measures the strain and load along rigid bolts, and helps to assess steel rupture.
The dRebar can be used with various rebars. this includes threaded bolts and a variety of other steel bars used in civil, mining as well as construction projects.
The dRebar has been specifically designed to be installed using a rockdrill, and spun in epoxy resin using a rock drill. It may be necessary to modify an installation dolly to accept the head of the instrument.
