Biography
Chao is a PhD researcher in the iCRAG Geohazards and Geotechnical Engineering spoke. He graduated with a MEng in Civil Engineering from Sichuan University, China in 2018 before joining iCRAG under the supervision of Dr Zili Li at University College Cork.
Opened in 2006, Dublin Port Tunnel has after more than a decade’s operation witnessed years of tunnel structural deterioration, water ingress etc. All such factors can on the one hand pose a threat to the safe operation and serviceability of the tunnels, and on the other increase the cost for inspection and maintenance. To minimize this effect, wireless sensor network will be deployed inside the tunnels to monitor their long-term response, as well as a 3D model will be developed to validate it.
