Lorenzo Bernardini, Francesco Morgan Bono, Antonio Argentino, Lorenzo Benedetti, Gabriele Cazzulani, Claudio Somaschini, Marco Belloli
Abstract:
Steel truss bridges suffer from ageing deterioration phenomena, among which corrosion is the most critical. Several works in the literature proved strain gauges effective in assessing corrosion effects over bridge truss elements. This paper proposes a novel diagnostic methodology based on measurements performed by [...]

FAQ
Displaid in details
01-What role does research play in the development of Displaid solutions?
Research is the driving force behind Displaid’s innovation. Every sensor, algorithm and platform is designed and tested starting from advanced scientific studies and rigorous engineering methodologies. This academic foundation ensures that our solutions are reliable, accurate and scalable, transforming complex data into actionable information and enabling infrastructure managers to make evidence-based decisions.
02-Does Displaid collaborate with universities and research centres?
Yes. Displaid maintains active collaborations with leading universities and research centres at both national and international level, including Politecnico di Milano and MIT. These partnerships allow us to continuously refine our algorithms, test new technologies and contribute to scientific publications, strengthening the technical credibility and reliability of our solutions.
03- How does research translate into tangible benefits for infrastructure managers?
Research does not remain theoretical: results are directly applied to real-world infrastructure monitoring. The developed algorithms enable the detection of specific degradation mechanisms, such as bearing deterioration or corrosion, and generate clear indicators to support inspection planning and maintenance actions. In practical terms, infrastructure managers gain predictive tools and decision-support systems that improve safety, reduce costs and optimise the lifecycle management of assets.
