Micro Abstract:
Adaptive Prestressing is based on the conventional passive design principle of prestressed concrete combined with active self-adjustment of structures. For realization of these systems a closed-loop control is developed utilizing Artificial Intelligence techniques like Fuzzy Logic, expert knowledge and machine learning processes. In the context of a feasibility study experiments on two prototypes – an aluminium truss and a concrete T-beam – are conducted to exhibit applicability and potentials.
