GRP TANK LOADING INVESTIGATION USING CFS AND DFOS SENSORS

Surface water management is one of the main topics nowadays. The Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) surface water treatment tank is one of the important parts of the system chain solution. GRP tanks are placed below the surface, and during the placement process, high loads can occur on the tank structure. The possibility of monitoring loading using sensors is being investigated. Resistive and optical sensors were installed on the surface of the vessel, and verification measurements were performed during the vacuum test of the vessel. The obtained results were compared with the FEM calculation.
