Load cells measure the force or load applied to structural members by converting mechanical force into an electrical signal, which is later calibrated into engineering units such as Newtons or kilograms. They are widely used for determining load in ground anchors, struts, and props within deep excavations, tunnels, and bridges. Load cells provide real-time data to monitor compressive and tensile forces, supporting safety and performance assessments.
This glossary provides clear, concise definitions of key concepts in construction and infrastructure management, helping readers understand the technologies, processes, and practices that shape the industry. It serves as a quick reference for both technical and non-technical audiences looking to stay informed in a rapidly evolving field.
