The stress / strain sensors can be installed vertically or horizontally.
To measure the brine pressure they are installed vertically.
This solution is more cost effective than the use of load cells.

Stress / strain sensors without sensor electronics can be fitted fix cable with a maximum of 20 m. These cables are connected to the multiplexer with sensor electronics. If the sensors are further away than 20 m cable, for example in a long pile or to measure at the sole earth pressure, sensor electronics for embedding in concrete is necessary. This sensor electronics is connected to a long distanze cable to the datalogger.
The sensors with sensor electronics can optionally be delivered as separate version with cable, or as a compact version.
The stress / strain sensors can be manufactured with special length. With their bolt diameter of for example 24 mm, these act as an additional part of the steel reinforcement.
