METHOD OF MONITORING A LOAD AND APPARATUS FOR USE IN THE METHOD

摘要

In a structure comprising a body suspended from a support by a number of suspension rods, the respective loads in the rods are monitored by interposing a load-indicating device in the load-transmitting path through each of a number of the suspension rods (7, 20). Respective load indicators (10) of the devices are interrogated continually or continuously and information concerning the loads is stored and processed to provide information about the variation in loads with time.
