1. A resistance circuit for monitoring a support structure, comprising:

  • a first set of resistors disposed at a belt-side of the structure and configured to indicate one or more voltages thereacross corresponding to an effective resistance of the support structure, the first set of resistors including at least one temperature-dependent resistor; and

    a second set of resistors disposed at a monitor-side of the structure and configured to indicate one or more voltages thereacross corresponding to an initial effective resistance of the support structure, the second set of resistors including at least one switched resistor having an adjustable resistance capable of selectively approximating the initial effective resistance.
