Innovations in 2024: 

ACE FABRI Project
In 2024, Inse Rail launched the innovation project ACE FABRI in collaboration with the CDTI (Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology). The project aims to develop a new methodology for structural monitoring to characterize the dynamic behavior of masonry structures, enabling the maintenance of railway structures made of ashlar or rubble masonry.

Among the specific scientific and technical objectives, the following stand out:

1.    To formulate a propoal of criteria guiding the selection of the optimal excitation level, along with the preferred model calibration methodology, for the dynamic characterization of a masonry bridge (optimal BiME).
2.    To validate a new procedure using two representative structures, applying four excitation levels and different EMA and OMA techniques for dynamic characterization.
3.    To determine whether high-level dynamic excitation (E4) is necessary due to the appearance of any nonlinear behavior.
4.    To assess the need for adjusting nonlinear FEM-DEM models to accurately reproduce the structural dynamic behavior.
5.    To verify the proposed method for selecting the optimal BiME through experimental testing.
6.    To propose equivalent linear models for predicting the dynamic behavior of masonry bridges.
7.    To demonstrate the capability for predictive analysis.

The ACE FABRI project is being developed by INSE RAIL and is expected to be operational in 2026.
